(Published in History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountains Vol. 3 by James H. Hawley 1920)
Through three decades Mrs. Sarah Friedline has been a resident of Idaho and since 1897 has made her home in Boise, where she now occupies an attractive residence at No. 1405 Washington Street. Her many admirable qualities and sterling worth have given her high social standing and the circle of her friends is almost coextensive with the circle of her acquaintance.
Mrs. Friedline was born in Pennsylvania, April 14th, 1848, and bore the maiden name of Sarah Smith, being a daughter of Jacob Smith. Ere she attained young womanhood she became a resident of Colfax County, Nebraska, and there on the 6th of October, 1869, she became the wife of Dr. Abraham Friedline, who for a number of years was a successful practitioner of dentistry in Boise.
Like his wife, Dr. Friedline was a native of Pennsylvania, his birth having occurred in the Keystone state May 8, 1848. His parents were Evan and Catherine (Pile) Friedline, who were likewise natives of Pennsylvania and were descended from Holland ancestors who came to the new world while this country was still numbered among the colonial possessions of Great Britain. Evan Friedline followed the occupation of farming as a life work and to him and his wife were born thirteen children, which number included Dr. Friedline of this review. The latter spent the period of his boyhood and youth in his native county and there acquired a common school education such as could be obtained at that period. The little "temple of learning" in which he pursued his studies was a primitive structure with puncheon floors, slab benches and other crude equipments. In the summer months he worked upon the home farm and it was only in the winter seasons that he had opportunity to attend school, and ofttimes the snow was too deep or the weather too severe to permit of the trip to the little schoolhouse.
After attaining his majority Dr. Friedline removed from Pennsylvania to Illinois and devoted several years to farm work in that state, but it was his desire to enter upon a professional career and he embraced every possible opportunity of preparing for the practice of dentistry. In 1876 he opened a dental office in the state of Nevada but soon afterward became a resident of California, where he engaged in dental practice for six or seven years. In 1890 he came to Idaho and for five years maintained an office in Moscow. He later spent two years in traveling through the eastern section of the country and in 1897 removed to Boise, where he continued to make his home until his death. He established the Denver Dental Parlors, splendidly equipped with every scientific accessory and with the multitudinous delicate little instruments which are used by the skilled and modern dentist. He possessed that mechanical ingenuity which is so necessary in successful dental practice and at all times he kept in touch with the trend of modern research and investigation concerning the care of the teeth. As the years passed he was joined in business by his sons. Dr. George P. and Dr. Abraham G. Friedline, who became his successors as proprietors of the Denver Dental Parlors, and he also had a grandson who is likewise a member of the dental profession in Boise.
Not only did Dr. Friedline prosper in his professional undertakings but also through other business activities and investments. He became the owner of valuable real estate and mining properties and his realty included a beautiful residence at the corner of Fourteenth and Washington streets. He also owned a large apartment house at Fourteenth and State streets, containing eight different apartments of seven rooms each and built of brick. He made large investments in mining enterprises, becoming president of the X-Ray Mining, Tunneling & Development Company, Limited, which was incorporated and capitalized for one million dollars. Dr. Friedline also owned seven claims in the Black Hornet District of Ada County, within twelve miles of Boise, he and his sons holding three-fifths of the stock of that company at one time.
On the 6th of October, 1869, in Colfax County, Nebraska, as stated, Dr. Friedline wedded Miss Sarah Smith and they became the parents of four children: Minnie E., Emma, George P. and Abraham G. Emma and George are twins. Minnie is the wife of J. W. Clark, of Bishop, California, and Emma is the wife of Hon. William M. Morgan, who became a distinguished attorney of Moscow and is now chief justice of the Idaho Supreme Court, mentioned at length on another page of this work. The two sons, as stated, became connected with their father in his professional activities and are still active along that line.
The military chapter in the life record of Dr. Friedline is one of which his family have every reason to be proud, for he was but fifteen years of age when in February, 1863, he joined Company A of the Eighty-eighth Pennsylvania Infantry, with which he at once went to the front. He participated in the battle of Hatch's River and in various engagements in which his division took part up to the surrender of General Lee's army at Appomattox. He received his discharge June 27, 1865, and later he became a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and ever proudly wore the little bronze button that proclaimed him a veteran of the Civil war. He was active in the work of the organization and greatly enjoyed his companionship with his old army comrades. He was also prominent in the Knights of Pythias and prior to his death was the oldest member of the order in Idaho, having become connected therewith in Nevada in 1878. He filled various offices in the subordinate lodge and also in the grand lodge of Nevada and of Idaho. Death called Dr. Friedline on the 29th of April, 1914. He had many sterling traits and his personal qualities and characteristics were such as made for popularity among all who knew him. His carefully directed business affairs had enabled him to leave his family in very comfortable financial circumstances and Mrs. Friedline is still the owner of the attractive residence at No. 1405 Washington Street and much other valuable property, from which she derives a gratifying annual income. She is a lady of innate culture and refinement, and during the twenty-three years of her residence in Boise has become most widely and favorably known.
