E* A Mir C Mrs. Jay A. Cline (Mary Jane) is celebrating her 95th birthday today at her home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with her family. The former Adams county resident, who spent most of her adult life in the Decatur area, retired to the sunny Southland last year where she resides in good health with her eldest son, John A. Cline, of 808 S. W. 16th Court, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. She was born in Allen county, October 6, 1864, daughter of then Allen county commissioner John Shaffer. Reaching teenage, she became a teacher in the public schools, resulting in being awarded a lifetime Indiana teachers license. Except for a short stay in Medicine Lodge, Kansas—the then terminus of the railroad system in 1881—she thereafter lived continuously, until recently, in Adams county. Her late husband. Jay A. Cline, was for many years Adams county assessor and farmer. Following two airplane trips to Florida in 1957, she then moved south permanently last year. Two other sons, Harold A. and Clyde D., also make their homes in Fort Lauderdale, where all three brothers are associated in various aircraft parts companies which they control. Mrs. Cline, who continues to follow events closely in Adams county by being a subscriber to the Daily Democrat, would welcome hearing from her many friends in and around Decatur.
