James M Cline
Born February 22nd, 1849
Died July 12th, 1891
He was 42 years old.
Gone but not forgotten in inscribed on his monument.
His spouse Emily Edgar Cline is buried nearby and passed away in 1945. They had at least 5 children. Maud, William, John Edgar, Mabelle and Emily Rosetta. 3 of his children were also buried nearby this beautiful monument. He also had multiple siblings listed on his grave profile, including James; there were at least 9 children born between 1836 and 1853. I saw a story of a large family, his parents John and Sarah were buried in Frankfort, Ohio, while visiting the profiles online.
This monument was amazing. It was a White Bronze Zinkie made by Western White Bronze Company. Zinc monuments are fairly unique and were only popular for a short span of time in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I have done other articles on them in the past. They are metal and hollow. A unique feature of these is the ability to build them yourself after ordering a kit. The information and inscription panels are often interchangeable as well and allow for customization.
This one was exceptional. It told a tale of beautiful surroundings and elegance. I hope he lived a full life and now rests at peace.
Not Forgotten Colorado
