William Allen Pine, retired farmer at Lawrence, for more than half a century identified with the agricultural and civic interests of Douglas Co., has struggled up from the condition of poverty which environed so
many of the early settlers and is the head of a large family and grandchildren who are among the most respected people of Douglas Co. The Pine family in the early generations were all staunch Quakers. His father, Joshua Pine, moved from New Jersey to Maryland, and owned a farm in Baltimore Co. Both he and his wife were loyal Quakers. Their children were William Allen, Clayton, Samuel, Benjamin, and Elizabeth, who married Charles Roberts. The only one of these children to come west Was William Allen Pine, Sr., head of the family when it came to Kansas in 1868. He had been a farmer in Maryland, and from Baltimore Co. came to Lawrence by railroad. He and all his sons old enough went to work on the farm of Tom Rudman at monthly wages, and two years later William Allen Pine, Sr. bought land on Mud Creek, east of Lawrence, and continued his work there until his death. The farm was only partly paid for when he died, and it then reverted to its former owner. Wm.A. Pine, Sr. had a brother, Benjamin, who lost his life while serving in the Union army. Mr. Pine was a staunch Republican, and after his marriage, he abandoned active affiliations with the Quaker Church, but never attached himself to any other denomination, although the others of his family inclined to the Methodist Church. He died 12/06/1879 at the age of 60, having been born 12/19/1819. His wife, Elizabeth Fish, a native of New Jersey and of an old American family, died several years before him.
