MATTHEW KLING, whose entire life has been devoted to agricultural pursuits,
is a native of the Keystone State, born on a farm in Perry county, Dec. 24,
1844, son of Moses Kling, also a native of Pennsylvania, of German descent.
Jacob Kling, his grandfather, was born in Lancaster, Pa., whence he moved
to Perry county, where he passed the remainder of his days. He was on Old
Line Whig, in his political views, but later became a Republican. His wife
was a member of the Bear Family, and they reared a large family of children,
of whom are still living, John; Henry, a retired farmer; and Jacob, of near
Shippensburg.
Moses Kling was born in Lancaster, Pa., and moved with his parents to Perry
county, where he afterward engaged in farming. His death occurred in 1894, at
the age of eighty-eight. He married Julia Brinley, and became the father of
eight boys and five girls, all of whom grew to maturity; Joseph, of Carlisle;
Margaret, wife of John Shaffer, of Mount Union, Pa.; Jacob, of Cumberland
county; Noah, of Nebraska; John, of Kansas; Henry, of Harrisburg, Pa.; David,
of Middletown, Pa.; Matthew; Catherine. widow of Levi Failor, of Carlisle;
Anna, who married George Koser, and lives in Ohio; Ada, wife of David
Sanders, of Lancaster; Julia, who is married and lives in Ohio; and
Zachariah, who died in Carlisle. Moses Kling was a Republican in politics and
in 1855-56 he held the office of supervisor.
Matthew Kling received his education in the schools of Perry county,
attending dur-
386 CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
ing the winter months until he was sixteen years old. He assisted his father
on the home farm until he was twenty-five years old, when he married and
settled on the farm in Southampton township, Cumberland county, known as the
old John T. Smith farm. There are fifty-one acres in that tract, improved
with a good house and the necessary outbuildings. Mr. Kling has been a farmer
all his life, and has thoroughly mastered his calling. He is up-to-date and
progressive, and his well-cultivated fields are the result of his systematic
care and industry.
Matthew Kling was united in marriage with Miss Martha Swartz, daughter of
Joseph and Susanna Swartz, born in Cumberland county, near Newburg. Eight
children have blessed this union: Anna, deceased; William, a farmer; Joseph,
a farmer; Bertie, wife of Kyner Myers; Lizzie, who married E. M. Farner; and
Charlie H., Floyd R. and Nellie, all at home. Mr. Kling is a Republican, but
in no sense is he a politician. He is universally respected, and has many
friends among his neighbors who know him so well.
