DAVID LINE
David Line, the subject of this sketch, was born May 4, 1830, in Dickinson township, Cumberland county (sic), Pa.
In 1710, when the French Huguenots were settling in Switzrland (sic), George Line sailed with his wife and son for America, but died on the voyage. His widow and son settled in Lancaster county (sic), where the latter grew to manhood and married. In 1778 he moved to Cumberland county (sic) and purchased 540 acres of land from General John Armstrong, paying 9,000 pounds in Continental currency for the land.
George became the father of eight children, one of whom, William, was a minute-man in the Revolutionary War, being in the service at the time of the battles of Trenton and Princeton, after which it fell to his lot to take the Hessian pioneers as laborers on his farm. He came with his father to Cumberland county (sic), in Dickinson township, where he spent the remained of his life.
He married Maria Bear. From this union there were eleven children, on of whom was David, Sr., born August 30, 1792. Reaching manhood he began work for himself on a part of the family homestead. He married Sarah Myers, to whom were born nine children, among whom was David, lately deceased.
David Line, son of David, Sr., was born May 4, 1830. He attended the district schools and sought further education at Burns Academy, at Good Hope, Pa. He spent seven years of his early life in Washington county (sic), Ia., returning home for one winter's school.
Mr. Line married November 30, 1764 (sic), Mary E. Ralston, a native of Cumberland county (sic), and a daughter of David and Lacy (McAllister) Ralston. Mrs. Line was a descendant of an old, honored family of earnest Christian people, and this life she lived, making her Christian character count for righteousness in the lives of her children.
Mr. and Mrs. Line began and ended their fruitful lives on the beautiful farm of 173 acres, which includes parts of both the Line and Ralston homesteads. The beautiful brick home and well-kept farm buildings are unmistakable evidences of industry, thrift and intelligence in farming.
Mr. Line has always been active and useful in every good work of the community. He was the zealous friend of education and the Christian uplifting of the people.
Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs Line, namely: James Edwin, David William, Samuel, Marion Myers and Sara Ella. These sons and daughters are all living, and are among our most respected and usefull citizens.
David Line united with the First Presbyterian Church, of Carlisle, December 9, 1876. It was in this church, and what it stands for in missionary work, that Mr. Line found his greatest joy, especially in the last fifteen years of his life. There was no more liberal giver, according to his ability, in the community. He was thoroughly read up on worldwide missions, and gave intelligently always. He often spoke to the writer of the apparent neglect of Christian people of this, the greatest work of the church. He was "a good man, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith." His life was a benediction and his death a victory.
