William A. Eline, of Hanover, died at his home Wednesday evening at 9:15 o’clock 
from a complication of diseases, which caused him to take his bed nine days ago, 
after a longer illness of nearly two years.  His age was 68 years, 8 months and 
20 days.

He was a son of the late Reuben J. and Mary (Mummert) Eline.  About 45 years ago 
he was married to Miss Lizzie Herman, who survives him with the following 
children:  Charles Eline, Porters; Clinton Eline, near Hanover; Samuel Eline, 
Towson, Maryland; Mrs. E. M. Hamm, John Eline, Mrs. Andrew Hamm, and Mrs. John 
Halter, all of Hanover.  He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Clinton Shultz, 
Hanover, and ten grandchildren.

For the past 35 years, Mr. Eline followed his trade as a blacksmith, working for 
many years at Krentler’s schoolhouse and Green Ridge.  About a year ago he 
retired and moved to Hanover.

Funeral from the house, Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the Rev. J. B. 
Brenneman, officiating.  Interment in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
