Godfrey was originally buried in the Wisner Burying Ground, also known as the Old Baptist Cemetery and Main Street Cemetery, in Elmira. That cemetery was closed in 1876 to create a park and any family members who had not removed burials, the memorials and remains were removed to a section in Woodlawn Cemetery, where seven rows of those memorials exist today. His memorial, a slate stone, perhaps existed next to Isaac Kline in row 3, but only the base of that shattered slate memorial now exists.
Will of Godfrey Kline, of Elmira, dated 6 July 1824. Parents, John and Elizabeth Kline. Sisters, Mary and Hannah Kline. Brothers, Isaac, William, and Charles Kline. Executor, William Maxwell. Witnesses, Elkanah Smith, Levi J. Cooley, Thomas Maxwell. Probated 5 August 1824.
The date of the Will and probate would indicate Godfrey died in 1824. Ausburn Towner in 1875, when the city was making preparations to close the Wisner burial site, transcribed - In Memory of Godfrey KLINE who died July 19, 1821, AE 33 years 5 months and 24 days. Addie Johnston Staver and Hugh Quigley Staver transcribed -Godfrey Kline died July 19, 1825 age 33 years 5 months & 20 days. The family record indicates that Godfrey was born 30 January 1791 so the memorial perhaps read - July 19, 1824 aged 33 years 5 months & 20 days.
