| 5109 | Myrtle Hopper Many longtime residents of Pagosa Springs were saddened Tuesday to learn that Myrtle McCoy Hopper, 91, had passed away at Pine Ridge Nursing Home. Mrs. Hopper was born March 12, 1909, in Lakin, Kan., the daughter of James and Alice Woodard McCoy. When Mrs. Hopper was an infant her family moved to Rocky Ford. When she was 12 years old, her family came to the Allison-Arboles area by covered wagon. The trip took them several months because her father stopped along the way and worked to buy supplies. She never tired of telling stories of the adventures of this trip. She attended school and graduated from Allison. Following her graduation, she married Lewis Hopper. Mrs. Hopper enjoyed a variety of positions of employment including working as a nurse in Dulce, N.M.; delivering mail; plowing snow for Archuleta County; and working as a clerk and delivering appliances for Gamble's store. She likewise enjoyed playing the piano at the community dances. In her later life, she was very involved in the Archuleta County Senior Citizens. Although Mrs. Hopper had no children of her own, she cared for many of the local children while their parents worked. She was fondly known as "Aunt Myrt" by many of these children. She was well known in the area as a person that was always willing to help. She always had something nice to say about everyone and was known for having a great sense of humor. Having the rare gift of always seeing the bright side of everything, she always had wonderful stories to tell about her life in this area. In 1975, Mrs. Hopper was preceded in death by her husband. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Jim and Alice McCoy, and her brothers, Ed McCoy and Charles McCoy. A memorial service for Mrs. Hopper will be held at Mountain Heights Baptist Church at 10 a.m., Saturday.

| 5139 | No history of Vermilion county would be complete without the record of Spencer Cline, who for many years assisted materially in the improivement and upbuilding of the county as a representative of its agricultural interests. He was born in Kentucky, August 13, 1812, and was of German and Scotch extraction. His parents, John D. C. and Catherine (Shumate) Cline, came to this county in 1829, when the work of progress and improvement had scarcely been begun and often would attend the Indian meetings here. The father was a potter by trade and frequently made trips as far north as Wisconsin in order to dispose of his wares. He also traveled along the Sangamon river, selling his goods. Spencer Cline acquired his education in the schools of his native state and when a young man of seventeen accompanied his parents to Vermilion county, where he lived until called to his final rest. He assisted in the arduous task of developing a new farm and the hardships and trials incident to life on the frontier became familiar to him through actual experience. He was married in 1840 and then began farming and stock-raising on his own account, living on section [25], Blount township - the old homestead on which his parents had lived and died. The house which still stands here is now about seventy-two years old and in it the widow of our subject is yet living and expects to spend her remaining life here. After coming to Illinois Spencer Cline knew no other home. On the 8th of October, 1840, he wedded Rachel Shephard, who was of Scotch lineage and a daughter of Louis and Celia (McCreary) Shephard, both natives of Burke county, North Carolina. Mrs. Cline was born in the same state, December 24, 1819, and attended school there. Subsequently her parents removed to Terre Haute, Indiana, where she continued her education, remaining there until she reached womanhood. She was eighty three years of age in December, 1902, and is one of the honored pioneer ladies, whose memory forms a connecting link between the primitive past and the progressive present. Spencer Cline assisted in clearing the old home farm. The land here was entered by his father from the government and not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made upon the place. All of the pioneer conditions of Vermilion county were familiar to Mr. and Mrs. Cline. Danville contained but two stores and a Baptist church when Mrs. Cline came to Vermilion county. The milling was done at Covington, Indiana, and the country was all covered with timber or stretched away as an unbroken prairie for miles. The meals were largely cooked in great iron pots or kettles which were hung from the crane that extended over the fire place. Bread and pies were baked in a skillet which, was covered over and then coals placed upon it The johnny cake, a frequent article of food at that time, was baked upon a board placed before the fire. Mrs. Cline still has in her possession an old timepiece called a spring clock, which is more than seventy years old. Unto our subject and his wife were born ten children, seven of whom reached mature years, while three are now living: David C.; Lewis, who married Eliza Demoss and had five children, their home being in Blount township; and Margaret, the wife of John P. Stuckey, by whom she had nine children, seven of whom are yet living. Mr. Cline was called to his final rest March 27, 1893, at the age of seventy-nine years and five months. He was long a consistent member of the Christian church and Mrs. Cline has been a member of the church for about forty years. She is still living in the old log-cabin home and has twenty acres of ground around her place. This is largely planted to blackberries, pears, peaches and apples and the sale of her fruit brings her a good income. In the early days she spun and wove her own clothing, spinning wheels being used extensively in the time of her girlhood, but as the years passed and cities grew and brought with them the ready made materials from the factories and looms of the east. Her husband, Mr. Cline, was at one time a member of a party that walked to Chicago to help dig the cellar for the first brick house erected in that city. He frequently made trips to Chicago with ox teams and returned with salt and provisions. David C. Cline, who still lives upon the old homestead, where he was born September 12, 1854, in the log house in which his grandparents and his father lived and died, pursued his education in the district schools and from an early age he assisted in the work of the home farm. He continued to attend the schools in the winter months until eighteen years of age, after which he was allowed the privilege of attending throughout the year until he attained his majority. Since that time he has given his attention exclusively to agricultural and horticultural pursuits and is now engaged in the raising of all kinds of fruit and vegetables for the city markets. In this lie has been quite successful, establishing a large trade, and his business has brought to him a comfortable income. In politics he is independent, voting not for party but for men and measures, and for nine years he has served his district as school director.

| 5150 | Note from Find a Grave: Mabel Goldie Pearl Allison was born in Danville Illinois and was the daughter of Charles F Allison and Violetta Johnson. Mabel first married Walter Paige Perry, her sister's Nellie's husband, when Nellie died young leaving two young sons. Mabe was the sister of my grandfather, Harry John Allison. I remember her as a boisterous loud endearing woman who quite dominated my British raised mother when she visited us in Illinois. Aunt Mabe would carry her wallet, glasses, and tissues right at her neckline being held in place by her corset. As a nine-year old little girl I found her quite fascinating and fun. She reminded me of the "Unsinkable Mollie Brown". Bio, full name, & birth place contributed by Susan Allison Wiegner. | Allison, Mabel Pearl "Goldie" (I4138)
