 Unknown Newspaper
  Death of Old Settler
 (Contributed)
  Alva cline was born in Fayette, Wis., February 3, 1837, and passed away January 28, 1933, at the age of 75 years, 11 months and 27 days.
 February 27, 1884, he was married to Miss Mary Jane Tyson of Shullsburg, Wis. He lived on his father's farm near Fayette until 1899 when he moved to Wood County. In 1906 he moved to South Dakota where he spent most of the remaining years of his life until he moved to Denver, Colorado.
 In 1931 Mr. and Mrs. Cline and daughter, Mrs. T. C. Becker, spent three months visiting relatives and old friends in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He enjoyed good health until January 17, when he was taken with a stroke and his life faded away in a few days.
 Besides his wife, he leaves to mourn his loss, four children, namely: Mrs. T. C. Becker of Denver, Colo.; Walter of Seminole, Okla.; Lester of Fairmont, Minn., and Ray of Denver, Colorado, and nine grandchildren.
 On Tuesday, January 31, funeral services were conducted by Elder Miekeljohn, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church, and the remains were laid to rest in Crown Hill cemetery, Denver, Colo. The deceased spent much time in studying his Bible and embraced the teachings of Seven Day Adventists. Now he is sleeping, awaiting the call of the Life Giver on the resurrection morning.
  We cannot say and will not say,
 That he is dead - He is just away!
 With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand,
 He has wandered into an unknown land,
 And left us dreaming how very fair
 It needs must be, since he lingers there.
 And you, oh you, who the wildest yearn
 For the old-time step and the glad return,
 Thinking of him faring on, as dear
 In the love of There as the love of Here;
 Think of him as the same we say,
 He is not dead - He is just away.
