    Birth:
    Robert S. Riley estimates William Shumate's birth as about 1793 and the place as Fauquier County, Virginia since he believed William was probably born before his parents, John and Sarah (Preston) Shumate moved to Kentucky. However, I believe that his birth date is closer to the 1800 date given in the census records which also enters his place of birth as Kentucky. I base this on the fact that he bought land close to John B. and Catherine (Shumate) Cline in Vermilion County, Illinois and moved there from Kentucky around the same time that they did.

    Notes:

    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.

    A surprise to Spencer Cline
    On the 13th of August, Mr. Spencer Cline, who lives in Blount township, on the Newtown road, reached his 75th year. He was sent by his good wife, Rachael, to the store for some soda, which she didn't need, but made an excuse to get him away. Then the neighbors came in with baskets laden with good things and spread a table with food fit for a king. They also brought a lot of nice presents. So when Mr. Cline returned home he was astonished, surprised, laughed until the tears run from his eyes, and shook hands all round. Thirty took dinner, had a joyful time and went away wishing Mr. Cline many more birthdays. The News extends congratulations also to both Spencer and Rachael.

Following her husband's enlistment in the Union army for service in the Civil war she returned to this county and had since resided here.

    Eight children were born to the decedent and six of them preceded their mother in death. The surviving children are: W.S. Grimes, the well know grocer of Danville; Mrs. Drusilla Rush, of Georgetown, and Mrs. Thomas Rambo, widow of the late police officer, who passed away about three weeks ago.

    There are two children buried in the Cline/Milner Cemetery that have a high probability of being two children of Mary and John G. Bonnett.

    Currently they are labeled with the surname of Bonned, but the photo of the headstone could be read as Bonnett instead.

    However, their dates of death and ages at death are too close together and therefore problematic for being the children of the same parents.

    Obituary (Contributed)
    Benjamin F. Cline, son of Nathaniel and Cynthia Cline, was born in Blount township,, Jan. 24, 1849. His father, Nathaniel Cline, was a fifer in the 125th Ill., Vol. Inf. Young Benjamin tried three times to get away and join his father's regiment but being the main dependence of his mother, she three times brought him back.

    On the farm young Benjamin grew to manhood. The loss of his father in the civil war threw upon him the responsibility of assisting his mother to provide for a family of small children and this responsibility he faithfully performed, working very hard clearing up the land for the surrounding farmers. The weather was never so hot or so cold but what his ax awakened the echoes of the surrounding forest. He was known in his community as an honest, upright, persevering boy.

    At about the age of 18 years he united with the Christian church under the ministry of "Uncle Jimmy" Conners, a pioneer preacher of this county. The Bible became from that day on and was until the time of his death, his rule of action. His chief delight was reading and nature. He delighted in the song of the birds and forest wild flowers. About his humble home were found in summer big beds of flowers, cared for tenderly. About the age of 21, he married Miss Samantha Washburne of Waynetown, Indiana. To this union one child was born, Miss Alice who with her mother still survives him. His life was a benediction to those who know him best. Three sisters and two brothers survive him also.
    His aged mother died just one year ago to the day of his death.
