Obit-Gonzales Inquirer Nov. 22, 1906
Former Resident of Gonzales Dead
Rockland, Tex., Nov. 14.-Mr. John Cline, at the mature age of 80 years, passed away yesterday evening about 7:45 o'clock at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. T. F. Jackson.
Mr. Cline was born in Cleveland county, North Carolina, October 18, 1826, in which place he grew to manhood and married. Being very active and energetic, he decided to try his frontier in Texas, to which place he removed in 1854, settling in Gonzales county, at which place his wife died in 1876. The remainder of his life, with the exception of a few months, he lived in Fayette county, where he was married again. His life has been a very active one, having taken a great interest in all public affairs in which he could be of service, and he was held in the highest respect and esteem by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. During the Civil War he endured many hardships while defending the cause of the Confederacy, and in after years was among the foremost of its citizens in building up the devastated South. For many years he has been affiliated with the Knights of Honor and the Masons in which orders he was second to none in filling their obligations. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Bettie Hull of Gonzales; one daughter, Mrs. T. F. Jackson, with whom he has been living the past two or three years; five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The remains were taken to Flatonia, Tex., for interment.
