Kelch, Mary Cline
Source--Tyler Star News Tyler, West Virginia
Kelch , Mary Cline will be 100 years old on May 18.
She was born May 18, 1905, to Richard and Leona Dougherty Bates in Woodsfield, Monroe County, Ohio. She spent much of her early life there working on the family farm.
People today, their children don t know about work, said Kelch. But she certainly did as she learned how to do just about any kind of farm work.
In fact, she learned to bake bread when she was 12 years old. At that time homemade bread was a necessity as the stores were too far away, not a luxury like it is today.
That chore lead to a lifetime of cooking. In fact, Kelch still cooks everyday in her home in Sistersville. I still cook for the family, she said. Her homemade noodles and her creamed lima beans are particularly loved by those who get to enjoy her culinary creations.
On June 9, 1923, Kelch married Harley Cline who was also a farm boy. They had three sons who are all now deceased Glenn B. Cline, James K. Cline, and Herber Leroy Cline.
In June 1929 the Cline family moved from the Woodsfield area to West Virginia, seeking employment. They settled in Sistersville, where Kelch has been since that original move.
Unfortunately in 1957 Harley Cline died of a sudden heart attack. At that time Kelch was 52 years old and all of her children were married and busy with their own lives.
But in November 1961 she found happiness again in the unity of marriage with Rex Kelch who passed away in 1974. She had many step-children thanks to him. One of my very special grandchildren is David Kelch who is very dear to me, said Mary.
Even on the verge of the centennial milestone in her life, Kelch still lives alone and does a lot of her own housework, including laundry. However, someone does come to clean the house for her every other week.
I feel I have lived a very long life and I contribute that to my very strong faith and also to the good care from Dr. Ralph Boone and vitamins, said Mary.
In November 2004 Mary had a mild heart attack and needed home care. Her oldest grandson Roger Cline who lives in Sistersville has been there for her each day since that time.
He has been so wonderful to me, said Mary. I couldn t get along without him.
They have a daily routine that never changes each morning when he comes to Mary s home to check on her before he leaves for work in Parkersburg. He always says to me, Mom (in a sort of singing calling voice), said Mary. I reply, Yes (in a similar tone) How is the weather? Then he says, I will see you this evening.

After helping entertain relatives at his home Sunday evening until a late hour he retires as usual. Monday morning he arose a little earlier than usual. When asked by his wife why he was getting up earlier than formerly he stated hthat some of his cattle had not come to stable Sunday evening, and it might be well to look after them. A little later Mrs. Stimpert arose, prepared breakfast and went to call her husband. Failing to find him at the barn she decided he had gone into the fields in search of the missing cattle.
