I too am a descendant of John E. Glines and his son
Eric M. Glines who married Mary Dabney Ewell.Their
child, Ella A. Glines married Ebenezer A. Graham.They
resided in Lakeport, CA. for a time and then settled in
Sisters, OR on a place that is still called the Graham
Corral although it is owned by black Butte Ranch now.
Any information you can send me on the Glines line or
the Graham line would be very helpful.I understand
Eric has quite the reputation wih some prison time and
also killed himself. The suicide record says he died
by his own hand by chloroform and stangulation.Seems
a little fishy to me. You'd have to choloroform
yourself first (which would put you to sleep) so how
can you strangle or hang yourself? Or, maybe he had the
presence of my to think if hanging himself didn't kill
him right away, he could have the chloroform handy, use
it to put himself to sleep so he could die with no
pain? Interesting to say the least.
