Frank was the son of Frank Kline born in Germany and his mother Sarah Gillespie born in Ireland as listed on his death certificate.
He was the proprietor of a Cigar Store in 1910 Census his brother in law William Cassidy worked for him at this time and from his Nuptial announcement also published in the Wilkes-Barre Record Newspaper 9-6-1909 mentions that he has a business place on East Market Street, in Wilkes-Barre. He lived on Scott Street in Wilkes-Barre after his marriage to Jane, yet on the 1910 census it shows him living with his father and mother in laws residence in Larksville. By 1929 he is an Insurance Agent for Prudential Insurance company and living in Bytheburn (Mountaintop). From his death certificate it states that he was not employed at the time of his death at the age of 64.
Published in the Wilkes-Barre Record in the 1910 it states that he was a member of K.C.- Knights of Columbus. In 1909 Frank traveled to Reading to represent his local council.
C.T.A.U. Regiment - was organized on 1-25-1903, yet for Company E of Plymouth, I have found a publication in 1902 which has received an invitation from James M. Guffey, national committeeman of the Democratic party, to escort Hon. Robert E. Pattison from the Lehigh Valley Station to the Wilkes-Barre armory, where the gubernatorial candidate and party are billed to speak. Capt. Kline and officers have accepted the invitation and therefore the local military co. will lead the Parade, stating that Company E has been organized a few months ago from 10-31-1902. Frank was installed as an officer in 1910 as Chancellor in the Plymouth Branch, he was a member of St. Vincent DePaul Church in Plymouth. New Uniforms had arrived by 1903, described as dark blue material, trimmed in black braid with the initials "C.T.A.U.", in gold on the collar of the coat. The trousers have a white stripe down the outside of each leg, while the caps are inscribed with the initials of the Company, these uniforms where made in Philadelphia by Henderson & co., they where worn for the first time at an exhibition drill at the armory upon the occasion of the basket ball game. They held dances also at the Armory in Plymouth every Thursday evening in which the company gave an exhibition drill while wearing their new uniforms. In 1909 Frank is the Treasurer, and in 1914 he is again the Captain and leaving for Cambridge, Mass., where the regiment is to camp for 10 days and to prepare for a reception, leaving by train to the camping grounds.
In 2013 I found a photo of him, that Michael Dwyer had published at the PHS Yahoo website, permission was granted to copy and publish this photograph. In the photo he is sitting in front of other members that where in uniform in the C.T.A.U. Company E, with the priest from St. Vincent's Church and they where standing and or sitting in front of this church, it was about 1915.
