Son of Conrad and Maria Cline.

From Geneva Gazette 16 September 1881
Death from Morphine - On Monday morning last, Marvin Cline, a well-known citizen of Phelps, was found dead in his bed at the residence of his relative Mr. Eacker, with indications that he died from an overdose of morphine.

From the fact that he was in pecuniary trouble having lately failed in business at Buffalo as a malster, and prosecuted to an indictment for false pretenses by disappointed creditors, the inference gained credence to some extent that he deliberately committed suicide. But the weight of evidence is to the contrary. He was a sufferer from neuralgia, and that cause, as also his mental troubles, necessitated that he take anodynes to produce sleep.

We understand that no inquest was held, the authorities as well as relatives, thinking it unnecessary.

His sister was Mrs. Esther Eacker. In 1865 at Phelps, Ontario County, New York Lyman Cline (a brother) lived in Marvin's house.
Thanks.
