Oliver H Cline: Wanted For Embezzling $100,000

What do you think it would be like  to have $100,000 and go back to the late 1900's and be on the run from the law???

That's what this couple did.

Oliver H Cline was born in 1870 in Ohio to Roseberry M Cline & Sarah L States. He married Eva Belle Storm on 22 Dec 1899 in Washington she was born Jul 1875 in Illinois to Jasper Newton Storm & Elzina Jane Bassham. They never had children.


He was employed by Pacific Coast Company of Seattle, WA A Steamship Company and Allied Corp. He was their bookkeeper and handled their bank accounts.


Here are some juicy newspaper clipping about him on the run with his wife, and then finally captured in New Orleans.

Oliver died 29 May 1928 in Seattle, WA & Eva Belle died I believe 13 Dec 1973 in Yakima, WA

I wonder what they spent some of the money on while they were on the run???
