Joseph Cline, carpenter at El Dorado Springs, was born in Licking 
County, Ohio, in 1821, and is one of the much esteemed citizens of 
the above mentioned city.  He is the son of Philip and Anna (Arter) 
Cline, and the grandson of Philip Cline, who was a native of 
Germany, and who settled in Illinois about 1824 or 1825, and died 
there about 1835 or 1836.  Philip and Ana (Arter) Cline were natives 
of Virginia and Pennsylvania, respectively.  They were married in 
Ohio in 1819, and afterwards moved to Illinois, where Mr. Cline died 
in 1844, and Mrs. Cline in 1840.  Mr. Cline was a blacksmith by trade.  
He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was with Gen. Hull at the 
time of his surrender.  Joseph Cline, the eldest of two sons and three 
daughters, received an ordinary education in the common schools, was 
reared on a farm, and went with his parents to Woodford County, Ill., 
where he tilled the soil until about 1850, when he learned his trade, 
and has followed it nearly ever since.  He is also the owner of some 
real estate in El Dorado, where he settled in 1883.  He is a Democrat 
in politics, voting for Polk in 1844, and was formerly a member of the 
A. F. & A. M.  His brother, Samuel Cline, married a Miss Lydia A. 
Sunderland, a native of Ohio, and shortly afterward they moved to 
Kansas, where they remained until about 1878, then moved to Cedar 
County, where they have since lived.  Samuel was a soldier in the 
Union army, serving three years in Company E, One Hundred and Eighth 
Illinois Volunteer Infantry.  He and wife are members of the Christian 
Church; and he has a good farm on Sac River.  Mary Cline, sister of the 
subject of this sketch, is the wife of Jacob Barringer, a well-to-do 
farmer of Woodford County, Ill.  Julia A., another sister, died after 
marriage.  Sarah J., wife of Robert Campbell, is now residing in California.  
The parents of the above mentioned children were members 
of the Baptist Church for many years.  Since 1884 Samuel and wife have 
lived in El Dorado.
