Connie cstyree@juno.com BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA DAUPHIN COUNTY pg 582 KLINE, DANIEL, senior member of the firm of Kline & Himes was born in Berks county, Pa., June 21, 1839; son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Keen) Kline. The parents were both natives of Berks county, where they resided until about 1852, when they removed to Lebanon county and there spent the remainder of their lives. The father was a farmer and later in life kept a hotel. Their living children are: Catherine, Reuben, Joseph, Edward, Elizabeth, widow of William Martz of Steelton, John and David. Their deceased children are: Rebecca, Peter and Mary O., all lived to maturity. Daniel, when quite young removed to Lebanon county and located near Jonestown where he received his education in the public schools, his school days being terminated when he was fourteen years of age by the death of his parents, which made it necessary for him to start out in life for himself. He began an apprenticeship at the tinsmith trade in Uniontown, Dauphin county, which was completed in Northumberland county, his employer having removed his business to that county and where he continued to work at his trade as a journeyman until 1861. He then removed to Harrisburg where he followed his occupation as a journeyman tinsmith for twenty years. In 1881 he formed partnership with William G. Zollinger under the firm name of Zollinger & Kline and engaged in business. Subsequently the firm was succeeded by a joint stock company called the Harrisburg Stove and Steam Heating Company of which Mr. Zollinger was the treasurer and Mr. Kline was the general manager and which continued the business for five years. At the end of this time Mr. Kline and Mr. Himes formed a partnership and purchased the business or J. D. Rowe and since 1892 have successfully conducted the enterprise. In his political views Mr. Kline is a staunch Republican. He attends the Methodist Episcopal church.
