Located in Alturas Cemetery is the headstone of Annie E. Cline, who lived from 1861 and died in 1962. She shares this headstone with her husband, George T. Cline, who lived from 1857 to 1944. I could find no online information regarding Annie's birth date and death date, so it's assumed she lived to be at least 100 and possibly to 101.

Some worldwide events and accomplishments that occurred during Annie's time on earth:

1861, March 11 – American Civil War: The Constitution of the Confederate States of America is adopted.

1871, May 4 – The first supposedly Major League Baseball game is played.

1881, May 21 – The American Red Cross is established by Clara Barton.

1891 - James Naismith invents basketball.

1901 - September 2 – Vice President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt utters the famous phrase, "Speak softly and carry a big stick" at the Minnesota State Fair.

1911, March 18 – International Women's Day is celebrated for the first time.

1921, August – The United States formally ends World War I.

1931, December 10 - Jane Addams became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

1941, December 7 (December 8 – 3:18 a.m., Japan Standard Time) – WWII: Attack on Pearl Harbor: Aircraft flying from Imperial Japanese Navy carriers launch a surprise attack on the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, thus drawing the United States into World War II. The attack begins at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Standard Time and is announced on radio stations in the U.S. at about 11:26 p.m. PST (19.26 GMT).
