Theodore Fillmore Pine was born on 8 Jul 1849 in Philadelphia, PA. He was buried in 1926 in Maple Grove Cemetery, Lawrence, KS. He died on 6 Apr 1926 in Lawrence, Douglas Co, KS. Theodore F. Pine, the eldest son of W. Allen Pine and Elizabeth Browning Fish, was born in the city of Philadelphia, July 8, 1849, but all his childhood and youth were passed in New Jersey and Maryland where his education was obtained. He was nineteen years old when he, with his father's family, moved to Lawrence Kansas and located on the farm where his brother William is living in 1901. In 1873 Theodore returned to Maryland on a visit and while there was married to Amanda C. Henry, Dec. 23rd 1873, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. F. Harlon Hawkins at Fallston in Hartford Co., 22 miles NW of Baltimore. To the time of this present writing, this was the only visit that Theodore made to his friends in the eastern states, and he returned to Lawrence taking his wife with him.

Theodore and Amanda Pine had nine children, of whom three died in infancy. As soon as each of their children grew old enough to write their names, their careful father and mother explained to them the evils of intemperance and had each sign the Temperance Pledge which is secured in the large family bible belonging to the household. Theodore grew to be a large, stout man, though rather short in stature, a thorough-going, excellent -hearted, hardworking farmer. He had been blind in his left eye since a childhood accident. The misfortune occurred while flourishing a whip in his play, the lash catching up a sharp missile from the ground and striking his eye, inflicted a permanent injury. In later years, he also accidently cut off two fingers while working a threshing machine. In 1899 Theodore and Amanda moved to the farm which they own on the outskirts of North Lawrence, adjacent to the cemetery where Allen and Elizabeth B. Pine were buried.
