Cassopolis Vigilant, 11/27/1913
DEATH OF SAMUEL L. KLINE
Samuel Lorenzo Kline was born in Lebanon Co., Penn., on January 24, 1838, 
passing his boyhood days there. Early in his boyhood his parents removed to 
Logan Co., Ohio near Balletomane. There he remained until grown.
On March 23, 1859 he was united in marriage to Harriet Yeck, to whom eleven 
children were born, of whom seven survive him.
In 1862 at the time of war of the rebellion he enlisted in the 96th regiment 
Ohio Volunteers, where he served about one year and was discharged for 
disability. For many years after his return from the service he was a sufferer 
from maladies contracted of the hardships endured during his enlistment.
For a long, long time "Sam" has been a friendly and familiar figure on the 
streets of Cassopolis.
He was of a genial and sunny disposition, forming friends of nearly all with 
whom he came in contact, and many of whom will miss and mourn his departure.
Of a family of eleven brothers and sisters, but two brothers survive him. Of 
his own family he Is survived, as before stated by seven children, Mrs. Amanda 
Hess, Mrs. Emma Gebhard, Mrs. Rebecca Miller, Mrs. Alta Osborne, Mrs. Calista 
Paul, and two sons John and Fred, and a loving wife.
On Nov. 22 at 9:15 in the morning he passed quietly and easily from this life 
into that sleep that knows no waking.
Funeral services were held at the home Monday, conducted by Rev. O. P. Miller 
and burial was made in Prospect Hill Cemetery.
