Photos of Reuben Kline farm submitted by Janet Gritzner; date & photographer unknown. The identity of the individuals (i.e.,which generation of Klines) is also unknown.
The ages of the children in the vintage photos do not seem to fit the children of Reuben Kline. Besides the parents there is an older girl (est. 15-19), a boy (est. 10-14), a girl (est. 4-6), and an infant in arms. If the older two children are Harriet or Maggie with Curtin or Fulton, there are no age appropriate younger children of the right gender, and no infant. These two are obviously posed family photos (even displaying their livestock), so probably does not include friends or relatives. This would suggest the family of one of Reuben's sons, perhaps whoever inherited the farm. The photo was submitted by descendants of Curtin Kline.
