MRS. WRIGHT KLINE DIES IN VIRGINIA

Wife Of Pioneer Settler, Prominent In Blair’s Early Social Life

Judge I. C. Eller received word Monday evening of the death of Mrs. Wright Kline of Wheeling, West Virginia. Mrs. Kline lived in Blair something like forty years ago, and was at that time prominent in social circles. Her husband, Wright Kline, was a civil engineer and his services were much in demand.

Just before his death he built the home now occupied by Mrs. George McBride. He was of an old pioneer family, figuring very prominently in the development of the county. After his death, the widow married Dr. B. F. Munroe whose wife had died a short time before.

They left Blair and later Dr. Munroe died, and was brought to Blair for burial, thus she has two husbands buried in the Blair cemetery. The information given Judge Eller did not disclose whether she would be brought to Blair for burial or not. She died August 4th.
