KLINE, David
Clark County Herald
13-July-1886
All our citizens knew Uncle Davy Kline. He too has laid down in
his last sleep. We clip the following from the last issue of the
Casey Banner.
DIED---On Tuesday evening, July 6th, at the residence of his son,
E.M.Kline, Esquire, of Casey, Illinois, Mr. David Kline aged
85 years.
The deceased was born in Lancaster County, Pa, in 1801 and in 1849
removed to Johnson Twp, Clark County, Illinois, with his family.
He has been a constant resident of this county ever
since. Some few years ago he purchased a forty acre
farm in Marshall Township and resided there until when his
health failing, he came to this township, where he could be under
the watchful care of his sons. The deceased had four children:
William A., Edward M., Simon and Louisa. The two latter living at
Mattoon and the two former are residence of Casey township.
Mr. David Kline was a man of unlimited energy and industry, his
life being an illustration of what can be accomplished by
perseverance and a strong determination to succeed. He was the
soul of honor, his word was as good as his bond or sealed contract
and he lived faithfully and completely up to his obligation. In
disposition he was kind and charitable, of a peaceable and quiet
nature, loving his family more than all else, and contented to
peacefully live, fulfilling his duties to his family, his country
and his God. Such men are the models for the young men to copy and
emulate in their career.
His remains were taken to Marshall by Hearse, on Wednesday and
buried at the Marshall Cemetery in the presence of a large
concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives.
