Mrs. Wm. Lane.
The sudden death of Mrs. William Lane last week Wednesday was a terrible shock to the entire community and especially to her family who were all away from home at the time. About three o'clock in the afternoon Irwin Taylor, who works for Mr. Lane, came to the house for a drink of water and as he was about to enter the back door, he heard someone moaning and looking around discovered that the door to the hatchway, leading to the cellar, was open. This was rather unusual and he stepped tot the hatchway and found Mrs. Lane unconscious at the bottom of the stone steps, blood flowing from a bruise on the back of her head. She had her apron full of eggs and it is supposed she slipped as she was going down the cellar stairs and fell backwards. Mr. Taylor carried her into the house and went for the neighbors but she lived only about an hour, never re-gaining consciousness.
Mrs. Lane was born in Farmersville 59 years ago and was married there to Wm. Lane in 1865. Three years later they moved to New Hudson where they have since resided. Her husband, one son, Glenn Lane, and one daughter, Miss Flora Lane, survive, with one brother and two sisters – W.D. Hillman of Fairview, Mrs. Chas. Bossard of New Hudson and Mrs. T.J. Evans of Black Creek. They have much sympathy in their deep sorrow.
Mrs. Lane was converted when she was 14 years of age and joined the Baptist Church. She has ever been an earnest Christian and her life has been that of the Good Samaritan. In the little family she will be sorely missed for she was always working and devoting herself to their happiness and comfort and to them she was very dear. She was willing and ready to assist anyone in the neighborhood in time of sickness or distress and there are many families who mourn her death, remembering her kindness to them in their time of sorrow and affliction. She was a good woman and the large attendance at the funeral indicated the high esteem in which she was held.
Rev Bruce officiated at the funeral which was held in the old church at Bellville, and the remains were buried in the cemetery at that place. There were many beautiful floral tributes and the altar was decorated with flowers and evergreens. For all these loving tributes and for the kind and willing services of many friends and neighbors and the tender sympathy, the family feel most grateful and wish to express their heartfelt thanks to all.
