      JOHN S. KLINE, farmer, P.O. Benton, was born in Luzerne County, Huntington Township, December 18, 1840, a son of A. J. Kline, of Fishingcreek. He married February 1, 1870, Mary E. Appleman of Benton Township. She was born July 31, 1844, a daughter of Samuel Appleman. They were married in the house they now occupy, and the farm of 100 acres, which Mr. Kline owns, was a part of the old Appleman homestead.
      They have had four children: Rosa M. born September 24, 1871, and died January 6, 1872; Lillian M., born February 9, 1876; Samuel R., December 26, 1879, and Otis C, October 8, 1884. Mr. Kline enlisted, January 1, 1862, in Battery F, Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. One Hundred and Twelfth in the line; was mustered in Philadelphia as a private, and mustered out as first lieutenant, January 29, 1866, in City Point, Va. His company joined Grant's army at Cold Harbor, and operated with him until the close of the war, when he came home. He then traveled six months in the west, and on returning hired on his father's farm. Mr. Kline has also been engaged in teaching school; is a good penman, and favors the modern modes of education. He is an experienced business man and has been connected with many of the enterprises of the town, as will be noticed else-where.
