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.
