New Guinea and Siberia. His most recent affiliation was with the Gold Hill Dredging
Co., as a dredge master. Mr Cline was married in Vallejo in 1918 and came to
Camanche in 1935, where he resided at the time of his death. His wife, Eda L. Cline,
died in 1952. He is survived by a son, George Cline, of Sacramento, a sister, Dr. Harriett
Bigham of Laguna Beach, and two grandchildren. He was the brother of the late Laura
Patterson of Oroville. Mr. Cline was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Lodi.
