Source Notes

  • Per research of Kerry Kline: James Madison Kline's 1st wife, Lucinda Rupert, divorced him after he left her in 1866; no children.
    His 2nd wife, Jemina Null, is presumed to be the daughter of Andrew Null & Julia unknown. James Madison Kline & Jemina Null had 2 daughters (Mary Kline b. ~1868, in OH, & Lenora Kline, b. ~ 1872 in OH.)
    3rd wife Eliza Hunley was "colored", according to one sworn statement in James' pension file. They may have had a daughter while he was still married to Jemina Null; (possibly Dora Kline b. Jan 1896 in OH) His Civil War service ended in early discharge due to temporary blindness; filed invalid pension 9June 1887, application # C12469, certificate #440936. Eliza applied for widow's pension 12 June 1912, application #988230, certificate #884479.
    After James Kline's discharge from the army, from the Mt. Pleasant Hospital in Wash. D. C., he returned to Church, Clarion Co., PA, where he remained until the middle or latter part of April 1863. In April 1863 he moved to Vesuvins, Lawrence Co., OH, where he died in 1912.
  • Gravestone for Dora Kline 1863-1928 is at Valley Cemetery, Venango Co. PA, along with those of her uncles, Jacob Kline & Reuben Kline, & Reuben's son John Milton Kline. It is possible that Dora, daughter of James Madison Kline, may have been returned home to PA from Ohio for burial, or that she returned there to live for a time. The alternative would be that this stone is for another Dora Kline unfamiliar to us.
  • The obituary of James S. Kline names a daughter Nora Kline, at home (i.e. unmarried). Whether this is a misprinting of James M. Kline's name, and indicates he did have a daughter Nora, or that there was another Dora Kline but still not the daughter of James M. Kline, is not yet solved.
