Col. Hiram R. KLINE, (deceased) was born in this township December 27, 1815 on the farm now occupied by A. H. KITCHEN, and was a descendant of one of the representative families of Columbia County. His grandfather, Abram KLINE, immigrated to America from Germany prior to the Revolution, located in New Jersey and then moved westward to what is now Orange Township, Columbia Co., Penn., settling here when the county was a wilderness. His children were Harmon, Abram, George, Matthias, Isaac and Elizabeth. Isaac was the father of Hiram R. and married Mary, daughter of Abram WILLETT, and by her had ten children: Charity, Sarah, Abram, Elizabeth, Lavina, Hiram R., Peter, Almira, Arminta and Mary. Hiram R. married October 31, 1842, Rebecca, daughter of John and Mary E. (FEHR) ACHENBACH, who was born December 25, 1817, in Briarcreek Township. At the age of thirteen she moved with her parents to Orange Township. After marriage Mr. KLINE moved to Raven creek and for five years was engaged in milling. He returned to Orange Township and engaged in farming until the spring of May 29, 1881, while on a trip to the farm. He was a staunch Democrat, for years was weighmaster of the North Pennsylvania Canal, and in 1860 represented the county in the Legislature. He was an excellent singer and taught vocal music in his early manhood. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church and an esteemed citizen in the community in which he lived. He left a widow and four children: Mary E., wife of Joseph K. MOYER, resides in Centre County, Penn.; Sarah J., is the wife of Rev. A. HOUTZ; Joseph Howard, married Maggie J., only daughter of A. H. KITCHEN; Harriet A., married John F. MENGLE.
