Steve....Here are photos of Kline's tombstone. This is from Findagrave.com. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

---------------------------
This is from the Social Security Death Index on www.Rootsweb.com:

Name Birth Death Last Residence Last Benefit SSN Issued

KLINE POSEY 29 Nov 1915 Feb 1986 89013 (Goldfield, Esmeralda, NV) 89013 (Goldfield, Esmeralda, NV) 273-03-5645 Ohio

(my note: I did a internet "search" for Goldfield, Nevada and it is a really interesting old mining town. Guess Kline lived there before passing away and is buried there, but died in California.)
--------------------------
This is from the California Death Records on www.Rootsweb.com:

Last Name First Name Middle Birth Date Mother Maiden Father Last Sex Birth Place Death Place Residence Death Date SSN Age

----------------------------
Here is a site for WV Marriages. There is one there for probably fits for being Kline's parents Wesley E. Posey and Anna, but Anna's maiden name is different from the one given on the California Death Record above.

----------------------------
This census is from HeritageQuest Online. Did Kline have a brother named Cyril?

All family members born in WV, as well as their parents.

Wesley E. Posey, head, renting, 34, married, not SURE of occupation, but it looks like: tire worker/tire plant (or maybe tin worker/tin plates?)

Cyril B. Posey, son, 7
Kline N. Posey, son, 4-3/12

James G. Posey, nephew, 10

-------------------------
A nice volunteer sent these next 2 items.

(my note: Below after the WWI Draft Registration Card, I am including a 1930 Ohio census lookup for you to request which appears to be Kline's father. Still married and living in a different city or maybe divorced? The WorldConnect researcher has Wesley dying in WV in 1974)
