[Waterloo Semi-Weekly Courier, Tuesday, May 21, 1907]

A letter received from Chicago today brings the news of the death of Edward M. Sine, who passed away in a Chicago hospital following a brief illness of pneumonia. He was a nephew of John Sine of Waterloo and was a brother-in-law of S. L. and J. F. Klingaman, having married Miss Anna Klingaman here in 1869.

He came to Black Hawk County in the early sixties. In 1880 he removed to Minneapolis, and built the Washburn A and the Pilabury A mills. These were two of the largest mills ever constructed. For twenty years he was head millwright. of these two great flour firms.

In 1888 Mrs. Sine died in Minneapolis, leaving two boys— Charles and Fred. These boys, now prosperous young men, are in the lumber business. Fred is secretary and treasurer of the Bowman Lumber Co., at Rebelstroke, B. C., and Charles is managing a lumber yard for himself and brother at Edmonton, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The burial of the father was attended to by Harry Sine, a nephew, the news of hls death not yet having reached his relatives in the distant north.
