      EMANUEL C. LINE bears worthily the name of a family long esteemed in
  Cumberland county. At a time when the French Huguenots were seeking homes in
  Switzerland George Line, a native of Switzerland, sailed with his wife and
  son, George, for America, but died on shipboard. The widow located in
  Lancaster county, Pa., where young George grew up. For many years he was the
  proprietor of the famous Green Gardens, in Lancaster county, and finally
  removed to Cumberland County. He married Salome Zimmerman, and of their
  children David died in Lancaster county; and William, Abraham and John lived
  in Dickinson township, Cumberland county; George died unmarried. The
  daughters were Elizabeth, Salome and Susanna.
      
      John Line, son of George, married Barbara Anna LeFevre, and they had six
  children, three sons and three daughters: Salome; Catherine, who became Mrs.
  Tritt; Mary, now Mrs. Coulter, of Vermilion, Kan.; George L.; Daniel, who was
  burned to death in childhood; and John, who settled in Warren county, Illinois.
      
      George L. Line, son of John, married his second cousin, Maria Line,
  daughter of Emanuel Line and granddaughter of William. They settled on the
  old family homestead, and passed the rest of their lives there. Their
  children were: Elizabeth M., John A., Emanuel C. and Abram L. Mrs. Maria Line
  died Nov. 27, 1869, her husband surviving until Nov. 5, 1885, when he died
  aged eighty years, ten months and ten days.
      
      Emanuel C. Line was born on the farm in Dickinson township, where he yet
  resides, May 8, 1837. He remained on the old home farm and took care of his
  parents in their old age. He now has 101 acres of finely improved land. He is
  a Republican in political faith, and is a consistent member of the Methodist
  Church. He married Rachel Jumper, and they have had the following children:
  Clarence B., born April 27, 1888; John Ira, Feb. 28, 1890; William, July 28,
  1892 (died Aug. 17, 1892); Clinton D., Dec. 25, 1893; and Golda, July 4, 1896.
