If you see this photo anywhere on a "Blogspot" or attached to any Ancestry trees, it has been STOLEN from this page. Anyone who uploads this photo to the internet has violated copyright laws constituting theft. Attaching my photos to family trees propagates a situation wherein many others think "it's up for grabs" and they may do whatever they please with it. In other words, when people find it copied and uploaded on Ancestry trees, they mistakenly believe it can be copied and published anywhere by anyone. NOT TRUE. No one was given permission to upload this anywhere online or publish it anywhere. Mine is the original, the one and only copy. So, if you see it anywhere else online, it has been stolen from this webpage.]

This photo was given to my mother Beulah "Boots" (Cline) Nipper by her grandfather "Chief" Cline after the death of her beloved Granny Cline. She cherished this photo the remainder of her life. It shows her great-grandfather "Big Joe" Cline taking a break from cutting timber on his farm. This was only one of many stacks of logs he cut.

When I feel exhausted, overheated, and overworked from working on the lawn, I remember this photo of Grandpaw Cline and feel relieved that I don't have to work so hard. I quit my whining about aching joints and replace it with pride in ancestors who knew truly hard work and endured. See also Joseph C. Cline Family Group Record.
