LIVED IN COUNTRY 60 YEARS
Peter J. Cline of Cummings, whose death was mentioned briefly in the Globe yesterday, lived in Atchison county, 60 years, and was identified prominently with early history in the Cummings neighborhood.
Mr. Cline passed away yesterday afternoon at 1:10 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. S.S. Amend at Cummings.
Born in Cazwell county, Ill. July 8, 1848, Mr. Cline moved to Iowa with his parents when a small boy. When he was 11 years of age, he and his parents came to Kansas by ox-team crossing the Missouri river on a ferry boat at St. Joseph. They settled on the farm which is now the Shrick place, in the Locust Grove neighborhood. In the early years, Mr. Cline broke many acres of the prairie with ox team, and also freighted farm products for some years to Fort Leavenworth. When he passed away, Mr. Cline had several letters in his possession which he received by the pony express before mail routes were established and before either stamps or envelopes were in general use, in the west.
Mr. Cline was married February 25, 1867, to Miss Bathsheba Eads, who was also a Kansas pioneer, having come west four years before Mr. Cline arrived in Kansas.
Mr. Cline was a kindly old gentleman and a good neighbor; and he was held in the highest esteem by the hundreds who knew him.
Surviving him are his six children; Leonidas Cline, Meriden, Kas., Mrs. C.H. Turner, Nortonville; Mrs. Henry Glattfelder, Mrs. S. S. Amend, Miss Belle Cline, and John Cline, of Cummings.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 'clock at the Methodist church in Cummings. Interment will be in the Cummings cemetery.
