   Henry W. Kline is a well known farmer and oinon grower in Troy Township 
of DeKalb County.  Mr. Kline is a young man, but has much to show for the 
energetic years of his active career.  He had only $250 of capital when he 
bought his present farm of seventy-one acres, and he has handled his land 
and its resources and his business affairs with such efficiency as to be 
considered one of the independent and substantial men of his community.
   He was born in Williams County, Ohio, October 17, 1882, a son of John and 
Christina (Kaiser) Kline, the former a native of New York State and the 
latter of Ohio.  His parents were married in Williams County, and settled on 
a farm close to the Indiana line.  They are members of the German Lutheran 
Church and the father is a democrat. There were twelve children, and those 
to grow up are: Henry W.; Lousie, wife of Daniel Erney; Clara, wife of 
William Linn; Clarence of Elkhart, Indiana; Fred, of Williams County, 
Ohio; Charles, also Williams County; Ida, Hettie, Wayne and Ernest, all at 
home.
   Henry W. Kline attended the district schools of his home community 
until he was sixteen years of age and lived at home with his parents until 
he was twenty-seven.  On August 11, 1910, he married Lou A. Wise.  She was 
a graduate of Butler High School and for many years was a successful 
teacher.  Mr. and Mrs. Kline are members of the United Brethren Church, 
the Zion Church, and he is superintendent of the Sumday School.  He is 
also affiliated with Eden Lodge No. 644, Knights of Pythias, and in 
politics is a republican.  Mr. Kline is a stockholder in the Arctic
