Lane Family History

By Robert Lane

Chapter One: William Lane – Founder of the Indiana Lanes?

 

1.  William Lane1–6 was born between 1770 and 1780, based on the 1830 census.  He was probably born in North Carolina, based on the birth places of his wife and children.  Some records list his surname as Lain.

 

While this family unit has not been proven beyond any doubt, the circumstantial evidence is strong, starting with this timeline on Lanes appearing in Orange County, Indiana:

 

1820       No Lanes in Orange County.

1823       William Lain (Lane) purchases land.  Evidence suggests that he may have been a Quaker, so he may have been influenced to come to Orange County by the fact that there was a Quaker settlement in the Paoli area (founded by Jonathan Lindley, who led a migration of Quakers from North Carolina in 1811). 

1830       William Lane appears in the Orange County census.  Biography of Dovey Lane reports that her father, Jonathan Lane, came to Indiana as a child with his parents.  His age fits William’s children listed in this census.

1839       William Lane’s estate entered into probate.

1840       Wilford Hoggate sues Jonathan and Daniel Lane, apparently over William Lane’s estate.  Nancy and children Mordica, Jonathan, Daniel and Harmon appear in the Orange County census.

1850       Nancy and the children appear in the 1850 census.  Nancy is living with son Harmon.

1858       Jonathan and Daniel Lane serve as sureter and guardian for Harmon Lane’s estate.

Other      The lives of the children intermingle in ways that suggest that they are related.  Harmon and Daniel married sisters.  Nancy and Abigail married brothers.  Jonathan, Mordica and Abigail lived next door to each other at various times.  Jonathan and Mordica’s plots at Moore’s Ridge cemetery are diagonal from each other.  There are other records, such as land purchases, etc., that suggest a relationship.

 

The Orange County marriage index lists the marriage of Harriet Lane to Eli McDonald in 1827.  Given that there appears to have been only one Lane family in Orange County during this time period, she could be a child of William and Nancy.  However, I have not been able to find any data other than the marriage record, so I have not included her at this time.

 

Gary Lane found an entry for William Lane in the 1820 Washington County, Indiana, census that is a good match for the Orange County William.  There is no William Lane in the 1830 Washington County, Indiana, census so it is likely that the William Lane of the 1820 Washington County census is the same as the one in the 1830 census for Orange County, Indiana.  Steven Stewart and the author also felt that these Williams were the same person.  Probate Order Book A, pages 131-132, reported that William Lain purchased a part of the estate of Jesse Hollowell on April 21, 1823.  Therefore, William must have arrived in Orange County, Indiana between 1821 and 1823. 

 

It is known that the Lanes who arrived in Orange County were born in North Carolina, but how they came to Indiana is not known.  Gary Lane was of the opinion that they came across Kentucky, then up into Indiana (this was a common migration route at the time).  There were also some thoughts that they may have made a brief stop in Clark County, KY, but at the current time, this is just speculation.  There is one piece of data that doesn't fit: In the 1880 census, Jonathan Lane reported that his parents were born in PA.  However, the 1850 census reports a birth place of North Carolina for all of the Lanes listed.  Given all of the other evidence, I suspect that this is an error on the census.

 

He appeared in the census in 1830 in Orange, Indiana, United States. It lists 1 male 20-30, 1 male 50-60, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 20-30, and 1 female 50-60.

 

He died about 1838 at the age of 68.  Probate Court records: January 30, 1839, Abner W. Wilson posted $500 bond to be administrator of William Lane estate.  Abner Wilson left, Jeremiah Wilson appointed administrator on February 11, 1840.  Probate Order Book 4, p. 279 shows that the estate was finally settled on August 25, 1852.  The estate had no assets.  Civil Order book 2, p. 157, March 13, 1840, shows Wilford Hoggate vs. Jonathan and Daniel Lane for debt, case dismissed by plaintiff (apparently they paid up).  Given the timing, this was likely connected to William's estate.

 

William Lane and Nancy [Unknown] were married Unknown. Nancy [Unknown]1–2 was born about 1780 in North Carolina, United States.  Their child, Harmon, had a very unusual name.  It was not uncommon for people to name a child using the maiden name of the mother, so some researchers speculate that her maiden name was Harmon.  She appeared in the census in 1840 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists 2 males 20-30 and 1 female 50-60.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Nancy (70) living with son Harmon.  Nancy died Unknown.

 

William Lane and Nancy [Unknown] had the following children:

 

              2                      i.    Mordeci (Mordica) Lane (born in 1803).

              3                     ii.    Nancy Lane (born on August 4, 1806).

              4                    iii.    Jonathan Lane (born on July 16, 1808).

              5                    iv.    Daniel Lane (born in 1814).

              6                     v.    Harmon Lane (born about 1814).

              7                    vi.    Abigail Lane (born about 1815).

              8                   vii.    Thomas Lane (born about 1820).

 

The genealogy of each the above children is documented in the following chapters.

Chapter Two: Mordeci (Mordica) Lane

 

The evidence connecting Mordica to the family is circumstantial, but in my opinion, it is fairly convincing.  It is reasonably certain that all of the other Lanes that appear in the 1840 census are related, so it is likely that Mordica is also related.  Jonathan, Mordica and Abigail lived next door to each other at various times.  Jonathan and Mordica’s plots at Moore’s Ridge cemetery are diagonal from each other. 

 

There is some question about Jonathan Simpson Lane.  While it seems likely that he was a son of Mordica, it has not yet been proven.  Jonathan was supposedly born about 1826, two years before Mordica and Levina were married.  However, Mordica was 25 years old when he married Levina, so he could have been married previously, and Jonathan could have come from this union.  Also, Jonathan did not show up in Indiana until quite a few years after the rest of the family and he lived in Crawford County, just south of Orange County.  Interestingly, Charles Elery Lane (descendant of Jonathan) was with Emma Jane Lane Ellis (descendant of David Crockett Lane) in the 1900 census, which suggests a family connection.  Of course, it is possible that Jonathan was related to the family in some other manner than as Mordica's son.

 

First Generation

 

1.  Mordeci "Mordica" Lane1–4 was born in 1803 in Guilford, North Carolina, United States. He was a mason and farmer.

 

He immigrated between 1830 and 1832 to Orange, Indiana, United States, based on the birth places of his children and the fact that he doesn't appear in the 1830 census in Orange County, IN.  According to Goodspeed's History of Pike and Dubois Counties, Mordica and Mary moved from Orange County, IN to Dubois County, IN, in 1879.

February 24, 1854 -- Mordica Lane to John Holland, SE SW Sec 22 1S 2W
February 6, 1875 -- Mordica Lane to David Lane, SE SW Sec 26 1N 2W (He sold his farm to his son, David)

Mordica and Jonathan Lane are next-door neighbors.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Mordeci (67), Mary (61) and Elizabeth Allen (63) from TN. Could this be Mary's sister?  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Columbia Township, Dubois, Indiana, United States.  It lists Mordeci (72) and Mary (60) living with their son David.

 

He died on October 14, 1883 at the age of 80 in Dubois, Indiana, United States.  He was buried at Moore's Ridge Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.  His grave is diagonal to Jonathan Lane's grave.

 

Mordeci "Mordica" Lane and Levina Anderson were married in 1828 in North Carolina, United States. The marriage bond is dated July 4, 1828, the actual date of the marriage is uncertain. Levina Anderson2,5 was born in 1805 in North Carolina, United States. She died in 1832 at the age of 27 in Indiana, United States. Birth and death dates/places are unproven.

 

Mordeci Lane and Levina Anderson had the following children:

 

              2              i.   Jonathan Simpson Lane, born 1826.

              3             ii.   James M. Lane, born 1829.

Second Generation

 

2.  Jonathan Simpson Lane1–3 was born in 1826 in North Carolina, United States. He was a farmer.

 

He appeared in the census in 1850 in Patoka Township, Crawford, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (24), Jane (18) and Thursy Ann (6/12).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Patoka Township, Crawford, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (35), Jane (27), Therzilla (10), Melvina (7), Terissa (5), Bazilla (2) and William (1).  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Patoka Township, Crawford, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (53), Jane (47), James (17), Nancy (15), John (12), Gibson (7) and Fredric (4).

While it seems likely that Jonathan was a son of Mordica, it has not yet been proven.  Jonathan was supposedly born about 1826, two years before Mordica and Levina were married.  However, Mordica was 25 years old when he married Levina, so he could have been married previously, and Jonathan could have come from this union.  Also, Jonathan did not show up in Indiana until quite a few years after the rest of the family and he lived in Crawford County, just south of Orange County.  Interestingly, Charles Elery Lane (descendant of Jonathan) was with Emma Jane Lane Ellis (descendant of David Crockett Lane) in the 1900 census, which suggests a family connection.   Of course, it is possible that Jonathan was related to the family in some other manner than as Mordica's son.

I see from my house by the side of the road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife,
But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan--
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man."

Chapter Three: Nancy Lane

 

Like many of her siblings, the evidence connecting Nancy to the family is circumstantial, but in my opinion, it is fairly convincing.  There appears to have been only one Lane family in Orange County through the 1840 census, so it is likely that Nancy belongs to this family.  She has the same given name as the woman thought to be her mother.  She was born in North Carolina.  She and Abigail Lane married Wolfington brothers at a time when it was common for siblings to marry siblings of another family.  She lived in the area of the county where the other Lanes first appear to have lived when they came to Orange County. 

 

First Generation

 

1.  Nancy Lane1–4 was born on August 4, 1806 in North Carolina, United States.  The date is based on the age of 59y/5m reported on her grave stone. The Stampers Creek Primitive Baptist Church membership list showed her birth date as 1807.

Chapter Four: Jonathan Lane

 

This is my family line.  As such, it is probably the best documented section of this book.  I have highlighted my direct ancestors in blue. 

 

First Generation

 

1.  Jonathan Lane1–8 was born on July 16, 1808 in North Carolina, United States.  He was a farmer.

 

He immigrated between 1821 and 1823 to Orange, Indiana, United States. History of Idaho, 1920, contains a biography of Silas and Dovey Lane Luttrell.  It states that Dovey's father Jonathan Lane came to Indiana as a child, with his parents.  See the data for William Lane for more information.  Jonathan and some of his siblings started appearing in Indiana records as early as 1832.

March 28, 1870 -- Jonathan Lane from Abraham Noblett, pt. E 1/2 NE 1/2 Sec 26 1N 2W
September 16, 1870 - Rebecca Lane from Thomas Lane, S 1/2 SE Sec 23, and SW NE Sec 26, 1N 2W.  She bought 40 acres from her son for $400 (book 33, page 300).   
June 14, 1884 -- Rebecca Lane to Thomas and Rachel Lane, pt. SE 1/3 Sec 23, 1N 2W.  She sold 20 acres to her son and daughter-in-law for $90 (book 36, page 56).  This was shortly after her husband Jonathan died and about the time she moved to Kansas.

 

He appeared in the census in 1840 in Greenfield Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. It lists 1 male 0-5 [Martin], 1 male 20-30 [Jonathan], 1 male 40-50 [?], 2 females 0-5 [Eliza and Mary] and 1 female 20-30 [Rebecca].  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (37), Rebecca (36), Liza (15), Mary (14), Martin (13), Lucy (11), Nancy (9), Jordan (7), David (5) and William (3).  Based on the age, the David listed here must have been Dovey.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (52), Rebecca (47), Martin (22), Dovey (14), William (11), Jordan (7), Thomas (5) and Franklin (5).  James (7) is listed with next-door neighbors David and Elizabeth Livengood.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (52), Rebecca (44), Martin (21), Jordan (17), Dovey (14), William (12), Sherrod (9), Thomas (6) and Franklin (6), living next door to Mordica Lane.  They apparently moved from French Lick Township to Jackson Township in August.  Because the French Lick census was taken July 28 and the Jackson census was taken Sept. 1, they appeared in both.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (63), Rebecca (57), Sherrod (19), Thomas (16), Franklin (16) and Nancy Burtt (8).  Neighbors include John and Abigail Lane Wolfington (sister), William and Nancy Lane Hobson (daughter), Jordan Lane (son), and Silas and Dovey Lane Luttrell (daughter).  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Jonathan (71), Rebecca (66) and grandson William (15), living next door to John and Abigail Lane Wolfington.

 

Jonathan and his son Martin served as sureters for Daniel Lane's bond when he served as guardian for Harmon Lane's minor children after his death.  See the death notes for Harmon Lane.

 

He died on October 31, 1883 at the age of 75 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  The Paoli Republican (Nov 7, 1883) reported "Old Jonathan Lane met with painful death last week.  He and his wife were in the wagon returning home.  The double-trees got of his fix. He got out of the wagon to adjust them when one of the horses kicked him so terribly that he died in a few hours afterwards." He was buried at Moore's Ridge Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.  His grave stone says "A loving husband, a father dear, a faithful friend, lies buried here".

 

Jonathan Lane and Rebecca Giles were married on February 1, 1832 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-2, page 41, which lists the date as February 2).   Thomas Combs' notes report that Jonathan and Rebecca had 13 children, but only 11 have been identified.  Rebecca Giles1–4,9, daughter of Thomas Giles and Lucinia Hazelwood, was born on January 29, 1813 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln, Kentucky, United States.  She was involved in a number of land transactions in Orange County, Indiana.  See the list for her husband, Jonathan Lane.  She appeared in the census in 1840 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She also appeared in French Lick township, see the census listings for Jonathan Lane for an explanation.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1885 in Junction Township, Osage, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists Rebecca (73), widow living with daughter Eliza. S he died on August 1, 1887 at the age of 74 in Kansas, United States.  Rebecca was with Calvin and Eliza Lane Leonard in Osage County in the 1885 census and may have still been with them at the time of her death.   However, her estate papers were filed in Franklin County.  John and Lucy Lane Leonard were the only heirs reported in Franklin County (they were living in Norwood, a small community north of Ottawa), so Rebecca may have been living with them.  John Leonard was appointed administrator of the estate.  In the estate papers her heirs are listed as E. J. Leonard, M. V. Lane, Nancy Hobson, J. S. Lane, all of Quenemo, Osage County, KS; Lucy Leonard of Norwood, KS; Mrs. D. Luttrell of Spokane Falls, Wash.; Mary Marlette and Thomas Lane, Newton Stuart, IN; and Will Lane, Clinton M (?).  Jordan and Franklin Lane had died by this time.  Her estate was $150.  The affidavit was filed Sep 23 1887, Case No. 3203.  John Leonard's name is misspelled Lenard in places but his signature is always Leonard.  She was buried at Prairie City Cemetery in Douglas, Kansas, United States.  Rebecca is buried next to Bailey Leonard, John Leonard's father and Lucy Lane Leonard's father-in-law, apparently in an unused burial plot.

 

Jonathan Lane and Rebecca Giles had the following children:

 

              2              i.   Eliza Jane Lane, born March, 1833.

              3             ii.   Mary Ann Lane, born February 1, 1836.

Second Generation

 

2.  Eliza Jane Lane1–4,10 was born in March, 1833 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  This was reported on the 1900 census.  Given that her sister Mary Ann was born February 1, 1835, this date is more reasonable than the 1835 date in family records.

 

She appeared in the census in 1840 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Ottawa Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1865 in Ottawa Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Franklin Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Ottawa Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States (see the census notes for Calvin Leonard).  She appeared in the census in 1875 in Junction Township, Osage, Kansas, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Junction Township, Osage, Kansas, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1885 in Hayes Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1900 in Homewood Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States. 

 

She died on March 24, 1912 at the age of 79 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States. This is the date on her grave stone.  However, she cannot be found in the 1910 census and Albert is living with his daughter, listed as a widower.  Also, Helen McDonald reported that the inventory of her estate was dated March 29, 1910, Ottawa, Franklin County, KS (page 49, Journal W).  Therefore it is likely that she died in 1910.  Eliza was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Osage, Kansas, United States.  She is buried with first husband Calvin Leonard.

 

Eliza Jane Lane and Calvin Leonard were married on December 15, 1853 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-3, page 514).  Calvin's first wife was Lucy Giles, sister of Eliza's mother Rebecca Giles Lane, making him Eliza's uncle.  Family told Gary Lane that Calvin and Eliza had no children of their own but raised several other children.  This is supported by the censuses.  Calvin Leonard1–3,10, son of James Leonard and Sarah Wolfington, was born on August 2, 1813 in North Carolina, United States.  He purchesed NE NW Sec. 31, 1N 1W on December 26, 1840 in Orange, Indiana, United States. He purchased this land from his future father-in-law, Jonathan Lane.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Ottawa Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States. It lists Calvin (47), Eliza (28), William (19) and J.A. (17).  He appeared in the census in 1865 in Ottawa Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists Calvin (51), L.J. (51) [name and age are incorrect], Ann Morris (8), H.M. Massee (6) and George Quiller (51).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Franklin Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  It lists Calvin (56), Eliza (37), Calvin (21), Annie Morris (18) and Henry Massey (10) living 3 houses from John and Lucy Lane Leonard.  His occupation was farmer.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Ottawa Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  It lists Calvin (55), Jane (45), Annie Leonard (13), Lee Wood (21) and Henry Massey (10).  They appear to have moved from Franklin Township to Ottawa Township in July, since they appear in both censuses.  The Franklin census was taken July 6 and the Ottawa census was taken July 20.  Gary Lane reported that they brought "Cousin Ann" with them from IN to KS and raised her.  Other household members are different between the two censuses, it is uncertain which information is correct.  He appeared in the census in 1875 in Hayes Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists Calvin (61), E. Jane (41), A.S. (18) and Henry M. (15).  His occupation was farmer.  It reports that they all came to Kansas from Indiana except for Henry, who came from Arkansas.  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Junction Township, Osage, Kansas, United States.  It lists Calvin (66) Eliza (48), William Bennett (13) from Illinois, Eugene Payne (21) from Indiana, and William Baker (52) from Iowa.  He appeared in the census in 1885 in Junction Township, Osage, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists Calvin (71), E.J. (53), mother-in-law Rebecca Lane (73), S.J. Dixon (30), John Dye (28) and Frank randall (18).   It reports that they all came to Kansas from Indiana.  The History of the State of Kansas, 1883, for Franklin County, p. 602 states that in 1857 quite a large number had settled on West Branch and on the East Branch of Ottawa Creek; Esquire Merchant, Calvin and John Leonard, and John Heek.  He died on December 11, 1891 at the age of 78 in Quenemo, Osage, Kansas, United States.  Calvin Leonard Estate, Probate Court, Osage County, KS, Case no. 2033. Property SW 1/4 Sec. 28 T 16, R 17 Junction Township.  Proceeds to son William Franklin Leonard and wife Eliza Jane.  Also lots 2 and 4, Block 4, Cloud Addition, Quenemo, also NW 1/4 Sec. 28, T 16, R 17, D. K. Lord, Executor.  Will executed December 26, 1888, son used the name Frank Leonard and lived in Lebo, KS in 1891.  The Lyndon, KS Peoples Herald (Thursday, December 24, 1891) reported that his first wife was Miss Lucy Jiles (Giles), married in 1840 in Orange County, IN.  They had two sons, one killed in the Civil War by bush-whackers and the other, Franklin Leonard, now living in Coffey County (this was his heir).  Calvin was born in North Carolina, moved to Indiana when 14 years old, moved to Kansas in 1859 (Pioneer settlement book says 1857).  Married Eliza Jane Lane in 1853.  Lived in Franklin County until 1871 when he moved to Osage County northwest of Lyndon, until a few years ago when he moved into Lyndon.  However, Eliza was reported as living in Quenemo in Rebecca Lane's estate papers.  The Lyndon report is taken from the Quenemo Republican paper, thus northwest of Lyndon was actually Quenemo. He was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Osage, Kansas, United States. Franklin County deed records show Calvin is grantor on September 22, 1859, of Lots N2, Sec. 33 T15S R20, Book A, P. 244; and grantee on June 7, 1858, Lots 3 and 4, Sec. 33, T15, R20, Book A, p. 444.  This is about 2.5 miles east of Norwood in a rural area.  Apparently there was some effort to establish a town there.  This shows Calvin was in the area as early as 1858. 

 

Eliza Jane Lane and Albert Augustus Alward were married on February 6, 1893 in Quenemo, Osage, Kansas, United States.  Albert Augustus Alward2–4,10–11 was born on November 29, 1830 in Fayette, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1900 in Homewood Township, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  It lists Albert (69) and Eliza (67).  His occupation was farmer. He appeared in the census in 1910 in Junction Township, Osage, Kansas, United States.  It lists Albert (80), widower, living with daughter Bertha.  He died on October 5, 1912 at the age of 81 in Quenemo, Osage, Kansas, United States.  He was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Osage, Kansas, United States.  He was buried with his first wife.

 

3.  Mary Ann Lane1–4 was born on February 1, 1836 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  The 1900 census lists the year as 1835.

 

She appeared in the census in 1840 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Mary (44), Martin (20) and his wife Emma (22), Isaac (18), Melinda (17), Rebecca (10), Jonathan (9), Delilah Compton (22) from her first marriage and stepsons James (28) and George (25) Marlette.  She appeared in the census in 1900 in Greenfield Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Mary (65) living with her son Jonathan.  Mary appeared in the census in 1910 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States. It lists Mary (74) living with her brother Martin.

 

Mary purchased S 1/2 SW 1/4 Sec. 2, 1S 2W on October 13, 1889 in Orange, Indiana, United States from Thomas Lane (book 39, page 507).

 

She immigrated in 1908 to Kansas, United States.  Cloe Anna Lane Beatty reported in a July 1965 letter to Gary Lane that Mary Marlette went from Orange Co., IN to Ottawa, KS to live with Martin in his last years.  Based on her obituary, this must have been about 1908.

 

She died on July 18, 1912 at the age of 76 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  The Ottawa, KS Weekly Herald for Thursday, July 20, 1912 reported that she died that morning, so the July 18 date may be wrong.  It also reports that she died at Martin V. Lane's house at 834 Burrough St., Ottawa, KS, she was survived by three children, Delilia Brent of Lebo, KS, Isaac Marlette of West Baden, IN, and Martin V. Marlette of Louisville, KY, and she came to Kansas 4 years ago to make her home with her brother. She was buried at Lincoln Cemetery in Coffey, Kansas, United States.  The cemetery is in Lebo.  She was probably buried there because Valentine and Delilia Brent were living in Lebo at the time of her death.

 

Mary Ann Lane and William Compton were married on January 13, 1853 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-3, page 461).  Niece and uncle Mary Ann and Thomas Lane married siblings William and Elizabeth Compton.  William Compton1–4, son of Larkin Compton and Becky Andrew, was born on March 19, 1830 in Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1840 in Southwest (historical) Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He died on February 9, 1857 at the age of 26 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  He was buried at Moore's Ridge Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

William Compton and Mary Ann Lane had the following children:

 

           13              i.   Sarah Jane Compton, born about 1854.

           14             ii.   Delila Ann Compton, born August 13, 1856.

 

Mary Ann Lane and James N. Marlette were married on November 25, 1858 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-4, page 256).  James N. Marlette2–4,12–13, son of William Marlette and Nancy Miles, was born on May 5, 1827 in Tennessee, United States.  The date is based on the age of 47y/11m/7d recorded on his grave stone.  He was a farmer.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists James (22), Margaret (25), Nancy (4) and William (2).  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists James (33), Mary (26),  Martin (10/12), Nancy (13), William (12), George (8), Malinda (6) and James (3) from his first marriage, and Sarah (6) and Delila Compton (4) from Mary's first marriage.  Martin was missed in the original count and was picked up in a supplemental section.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists James (43), Mary (35), James (13), Martin (11), Isaac (9), Eveline (6), Rebecca (1), George (17) and Malinda (15) from his first marriage, Sarah (16) and Delila Compton (14) from Mary's first marriage, and his mother, Nancy Miles Marlette.  In the History Of Orange County section on the town of Newton Stewart, Goodspeed records that James was a charter member of the Newton Stewart Masonic Lodge, No. 432, which was organized on May 23, 1871.  He died on April 12, 1875 at the age of 47 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  According to The Marlette Story, his will was written on March 25, 1875 and filed on April 19, 1875.  It lists children Nancy, William, George, James, Martin, Isaac, Malina, Rebecca, and Jonathan.  Items 10 and 11 were bequeaths to Sarah and Delilia Compton.  The last item was "the remainder of the estate to my beloved companion Mary Ann Marlett to hold as long as she remains my widow, and at her death to be divided between heirs".  He was buried at Marlett Family Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

James N. Marlette and Mary Ann Lane had the following children:

 

           15              i.   Martin Van Buren Marlette, born October, 1859.

           16             ii.   Isaac Michael Marlette, born September 29, 1861.

Martin immigrated between 1882 and 1884 to Kansas, United States. This is the time frame between the birth of his last child and his appearance in the 1885 Kansas state census.  He first settled in Quenemo.  His obituary stated that he had lived in Ottawa for about 15 years, so he must have moved from Quenemo to Ottawa about 1901.  

 

He appeared in the census in 1840 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He also appeared in French Lick township, see the census listings for Jonathan Lane for an explanation.  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Martin (43), Martha (34), Jordan (15), Philip (14), Wilford (11), Perry (10), Melcena (8), Ollie (6), Lorena (4), Charles (1), his mother-in-law, Penelope Shively (71) and niece Hetty Pickett (6) (her age is incorrect).  He appeared in the census in 1885 in Quenemo, Osage, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists Martin (47), single, living in the James Vaughn household.  His occupation was farmer.  He appeared in the census in 1905 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists M.V. (68).  His occupation was laborer.  He appeared in the census in 1910 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  It lists Martin (72) and sister Mary (74).  He appeared in the census in 1915 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  This Kansas state census lists M.V. (77).  No occupation was recorded.  "840 Burrows" was noted on the census, probably his address.

 

He died on May 13, 1916 at the age of 79 in Ottawa, Franklin, Kansas, United States.  His estate was settled on April 27, 1918, brother J. S. Lane executor.  Heirs were J. A. Lane, son, age 50, of 1175 Hudson St., KC, KS; Philip, 48, and Monroe, 46, of West Baden; Melvena Livengood, 40, Perry, Ollie, Lulu, Charles and Leta, all of French Lick.  Total estate was $307 in personal property.  His obituary was in the Ottawa Herald on Tuesday, May 16, 1916.  His address is given as Hamblin St. between 8th and 9th, so he apparently moved from the Burroughs St. house where he lived for many years (and where sister Mary Ann Lane Marlette died).  He was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Osage, Kansas, United States, next to his sister Eliza and her first husband, Calvin Leonard.

 

Martin Van Buren Lane and Martha Shively were married on February 13, 1862 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-5, page 3).  Cousins Martin and Levi Lane married sisters Martha and Elizabeth Shively.  Levi's sister (and Martin's cousin) Matilda Lane married Benjamin Chatham, a cousin of Elizabeth and Martha Shively.  They were divorced between 1882 and 1884 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  According to information passed down in the Charles Lane family, Martin V. Lane deserted Martha and the family sometime before the turn of the century and "went West".  Charles said that this caused him to leave school in order to help his mother support the family.  Given that Charles was around 6 years old when Martin left and he reported completing the 8th grade n the 1940 census, this statement is questionable.  Mona Robinson stated in her September 26, 1999 genealogy column Family Tree Leaves in the Bloomington Herald-Times that Indiana was reported to be a divorce mill in the middle 1800's because of easy divorce laws and short residency requirements.  The petitioner only had to place an ad in a newspaper where the action was filed; the spouse was not notified until after the divorce.  Martha Shively2–4,14–18, daughter of Philip Shively and Penelope Busick, was born on May 14, 1846 in Prospect, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1900 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Martha (54), Monroe (33), Oliver (27), Charley (21) and Mary (19).  She is listed as a widow, but she was actually divorced.  She appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Martha (64) and 3 boarders, among them is Ethel Breeden (18).  She appeared in the census in 1920 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Martha (73) and 3 boarders.  Martha sold to Napoleon Pierce on March 2, 1888, lots 1,2,8 in New Prospect, also undivided 2/3 of undivided 1/2 of SW SW Sec. 22, 2N 2W and E 1/2 of NW of Sec. 27, same T and R, and W 1/2 of NE of Sec. 27, same T and R, except for 15 acres sold by Philip Shively for the site of New Prospect town and for meeting house and graveyard.  All of said land being subject to life estate of Penelope Shively, widow of Philip, Deceased.  A judgment was filed against Martha on January 17, 1891, Book 41, p. 326-327, for $110.26 by Daniel N. Long, prosecuting attorney, for part of S 1/2 of SW, Sec. 6, pt. SW of SE of Sec. 6 and NW NW, Sec. 7 2N 2W.  Napoleon Pierce paid $49.65 at sheriff's auction on September 14, 1889 and turned over the land to Martha.  She died on March 15, 1920 at the age of 73 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States (book FL-3, page 9).  Her death certificate reported the following: place of death was at home, cause of death was angina pectoris, residence was French Lick, Indiana, occupation was housekeeper, marital status was widow.  Martin Lane was listed as her spouse, even though they had divorced many years before.  She was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Johns were married on February 10, 1886 in Franklin, Kansas, United States (book C, page 4 on October 2, 1886 and book C, page 403 on February 6, 1882).  Mary is listed as a widow in the 1885 census, so the 1886 date is probably correct.  They were divorced on September 1, 1902 in Franklin, Kansas, United States.  Mary M. Johns2 was born about 1844. She died Unknown.

 

5.  Lucy Lane1–4,20 was born on February 16, 1839 in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Nancy immigrated in 1863 to Kansas, United States. This was reported in husband William Hobson's obituary, but the family appears in the 1870 census for Orange County, Indiana.

According to family stories, Nancy Hobson didn't like the way Elizabeth Walls Lane, brother Jordan's second wife, treated her stepson, William S. Lane, born to Jordan and Hannah Hobson.  Nancy told her brother Jordan that one day she would take William, and she did.  She took him to Kansas without permission.

S. Lane's daughters.  It goes on to say that the Hobsons moved to Kansas in 1863 [However, they are in the 1870 Orange County census].  He was in Lawrence, KS at the time of the August 21, 1863 Quantrell raid that burned the town and killed many people.  The reason his obituary was so late was because the paper's linotype broke a gear and only scant news was published the week before. He was buried at Melvern City Cemetery in Osage, Kansas, United States.

He is now one of the veteran citizens of Boise bench, residing at his present home on Vista avenue since 1901. He was born in Orange county, Indiana, September 24, 1843, and is a son of Willis and Nancy (Silver) Luttrell, who were natives of Virginia and North Carolina respectively.  The father was born January 1, 1807, in Westmoreland county, Virginia, of one of the old families of that state, represented in the Revolutionary war and of French descent. Seven great-uncles of Silas Luttrell served under General Lafayette in the war for independence.  His grandfather, who also bore the name of Silas Luttrell, removed from Virginia to Orange county, Indiana, in 1816 - the year in which the state was admitted to the Union.  He became one of the pioneer settlers there and aided in the work of early development and progress in that section of the country. The mother of Silas Luttrell of this review was born in North Carolina, July 12, 1813, and when a little child was taken by her parents to Orange county, Indiana. There she grew to womanhood and became the wife of Willis Luttrell.  Their son, Silas Luttrell, was reared on a farm in his native county and hid the usual experiences of the farmbred boy.  He was married there on the 13th of April, 1865, the day before the assassination of President Lincoln, to Dovey Lane, who was born in Orange county, Indiana. March 1, 1846, a daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca (Giles) Lane, who were natives of North Carolina but went to Indiana with their respective parents when young. Mr. and Mrs. Luttrell were reared on neighboring farms in Orange county and attended the same school. Later he became a school teacher when eighteen years of age, teaching his first term in the old home district, and his wife was at that time one of his pupils. Four years later, when he was twenty-two and Mrs. Luttrell nineteen, they were married and they have now traveled life's journey happily together as husband and wife for fifty-five years. Mrs. Luttrell was connected with the Lane family of Indiana, to which belonged Henry S. Lane, one of the governors of that state, while his brother, James Lane, was at one time United States senator from Kansas.  For a long period after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Luttrell remained in Indiana and in 1870 removed to Ottawa, Kansas, while eventually they became residents of Ellis, Kansas. For six years Mr. Luttrell continued to follow farming in the Sunflower state and in 1876 crossed the plains to Oregon with a train of thirty-two wagons, he acting as captain of the train. There were one hundred and twenty-one men in the party who were old enough to vote and when they balloted to elect a captain Mr. Luttrell received one hundred and fifteen of the entire number of votes. The wagon train passed through Boise, a place then smaller than the town of Meridian today. They proceeded to Lebanon, Linn county, Oregon, and the Luttrell family resided in Washington and Oregon until 1901, when they returned to the Boise valley and took up their abode upon the bench, which was then a vast expanse of sagebrush. Mr. Luttrell purchased ten acres of land for seventy dollars per acre, erected thereon a home and planted an orchard of two acres. The trees are now large and are in splendid bearing. He also planted shade trees which have attained splendid size. He has since sold two and a half acres of the land for a thousand dollars per acre and could sell the remainder at any time at the same figure. While living in Wallowa county, Oregon, Mr. Luttrell gained a very substantial measure of prosperity and at one time was the owner of a ranch of four hundred and eighty acres, situated a mile and a half from Enterprise, the county seat. For several years he was a dealer in agricultural implements, but his chief pursuit throughout his long and useful life has been farming and his success has been most honorably won and worthily used.  To Mr. and Mrs. Luttrell were born eight children, of whom four are living: William Martin, Elbert J., Mrs. Lucy J. Mix and Chester Arthur. They also have three grandchildren: Gladys and Conrad Slagle, who are the children of Mrs. Lucy J. Mix, born of her first marriage; and Silas Luttrell, who is a son of Elbert J. Luttrell.  While Mr. Luttrell of this review has led a busy life in the conduct of his business affairs, he  has yet found time to devote to public duties. While a resident of Oregon he served as justice of the peace for ten years and his decisions were always strictly fair and impartial. He likewise served as sheriff and county judge of Wallowa county. He has been prominent in the prohibition movement in Idaho for twenty years and has made hundreds of speeches for the prohibition party. In 1908 he was a candidate for governor of Idaho. He and his wife are members of the Christian church, in which he is serving as a trustee, and is also teacher of the Bible class.  His entire career has been most honorable and upright. He has always been a firm believer in God and an active worker in the church and Sunday school for many years. In recent years defective eyesight has rendered it impossible for him to read but still his knowledge of the Bible is such that he can continue as teacher of the Bible class in Sunday school. He possesses a wonderful memory and his knowledge of current events is remarkable. His is the happiness and contentment of a clear conscience and a life well spent. It is a splendid thing that in former years he gave so much time to reading and study, for his mind is now a storehouse upon which he can continually draw. There is nothing so pitiable as a man of years who has no resources within himself and Mr. Luttrell is rich in knowledge and experience and one may gain from him a fund of information in the discussion of prominent men of former days, as he possesses an astonishing familiarity with them.”  He died on February 5, 1927 at the age of 83 in Boise, Ada, Idaho, United States (death certificate #056488).  This date is from the Idaho Death Index.  Some sources report it as July 2, 1927.  A Boise newspaper reported "Silas Luttrell died on Saturday at the family home on the bench, one-half mile east of the Union Pacific depot, at the age of 83 years.  Mr. Luttrell had been a resident of Boise valley since 1901 and was a member of the First Christian Church.  He is survived by his wife and two sons, C. A. Luttrell of Anaconda, Montana, E.J. Luttrell of Boise and one daughter, Mrs. Lucy J. Mix of Burley, Idaho.  The funeral will be held Monday at 3 o'clock at the Summers and Krebs chapel and the Rev. C. E. Burgess will officiate and burial will be in Morris Hill Cemetery."  He was buried at Morris Hill Cemetery in Ada, Idaho, United States.

Orange County Probate Order Book 36, case 1773, page 528, April 15, 1932 reports that Walter Lane by Harry W. Carpenter, Attorney, filed a verified application for letter of administration issued to Charles C. Lane upon the estate and property of Wilford M. Lane.  Probable value of the estate estimated at personal property of $250 and real estate of $1000.  Charles C. Lane posted bond of $500.  Probate Order Book 37, page 45, September 17, 1932 lists three claims against the estate: Perry Lane for $24.50, West Baden Feed Exchange for $12.00, and Phillip S. Lane for $425.00.  Page 92, October 8, 1932 reports that Charles C. Lane resigned as administrator due to moving to Sidell, IL. Page 93, October 8, 1932 reports that Phillip S. Lane posted $500 bond as de bonis non administrator for the estate.  Philip sold the real estate to Harry W. Carpenter on April 17, 1933 for $467, on the same day petitioned the court to declare the estate insolvent (pages 231-232), and one week later on April 24, 1933, bought the property back from Harry W. Carpenter for $500.  On May 17, 1934, Philip sold the property to Chester and Ermel Lane for $1200.  Apparently, Philip could not sell the land to himself since he was the administrator, so he basically paid Harry W. Carpenter $33 to take the sale for him, and within one year's time made a profit of $700 on the property.

This entry raises questions.  It lists Perry's wife as Sarah, the name of 2nd wife Sarah Campbell.  However, 1st wife Mary did not die until 1945 and Perry and Sarah were not married until 1946.  While there could be other explanations, it is assumed that the enumerator made a mistake.


He was injured in the automobile accident that killed his son (see the notes for Harry Gladden Lane).

James Edward Lane reported that Charles was a barber during the early years of his life.  Later, he operated a small grocery store across from the post office in French Lick, IN, until shortly after World War II.  The 1929 telephone directory lists his store at 205 College Street.  When coffee was a nickel a cup, with no free refills, Charley had the reputation of drinking his cup two-thirds to three-quarters of the way down, then asking for his coffee to be "warmed up".  Long after his death, there were people in southern Indiana, when they wanted their coffee warmed, would say "Charley Lane my coffee".

The Springs Valley Herald (February 3, 1905) reported " All kinds of people come to French Lick - millionaires and misers, princes and paupers, sports with money to throw at the birds and parsimonious old codgers who are so stingy and close that Pluto with all its penetration can't get through them.  But the tightest, flintiest specimen of Shylock that ever struck this valley ambled into Charlie Lane's barber shop the other day for a shave.  He sported the somewhat generous name of Pat Scanlan, and hailed from Peoria, Ill.  Before taking the chair he inquired the price of a shave, and when told that it was 15 cents he threw up his hands in holy horror and started to leave for another shop; but when told that it was the same price concluded to remain.  When Charlie came to the finishing touches and said 'Wet or dry?' Pat said, 'a little oil, please.'  Charlie suggested a little tonic which Pat accepted, but when he went to settle and found that the tonic was 10 cents extra he raised a howl and swore he'd been buncoed.  Then with tears in his eyes, he declared he was a poor man with barely enough to get home on.  Thinking he might be a pauper, Charlie let him off.  He is reported to be worth $200,000, and probably is, for he certainly has never squandered his money.  He left for home feeling that French Lick was a skin game from first to last."

James Edward Lane reported that when he was a child, he loved to go to Charlie's grocery store at closing time.  Charlie loved to go to the Shamrock (a bar and grill) to have a beer after work.  To keep James happy while he was enjoying his beer, Charlie would buy him a hamburger.  When Chester worked out of town (James thinks it might have been Lake Tahoe, NV) for a few months in the early 1940's, he asked Charles to take care of things.  Whiskey was hard to get at this time, so Chester had his supply of good whiskey locked up and left the cheap stuff for Charlie to drink.  However, Charlie found the key, and Chester returned to find much of his good whiskey gone and the cheap stuff practically untouched!

Chester Robert Lane reported "He ran a restaurant, a barbershop and a grocery where everyone bought their schoolbooks, new and used.  He was a social animal who loved the Kiwanis club and other civic activities. He built a new house on Maple Street in 1917 (he would have been 39), in which he died in his sleep in 1957.  He had given the house to Herb and Edie some years before.  We remember him in his white 1950 Chevy coupe, with his dog Chips (whom Dad referred to as 'C-note' because they paid a $100 for him), with which he drove along country roads spitting tobacco out the driver window, staining the side of his car. He loved whiskey, food, tobacco, women, and audiences.  Before the whole high school assembled, he would recite James Whitcomb Riley at great length.  When he was a widower, he took Sue to a Kiwanis meeting when she was a teenager.  She dressed up smartly, and he was proud to have her hanging on his arm.  He loved to go to Sue's Mom's house and have green beans and fresh tomatoes from the garden.  He and I shilled together at the Chateau and the Gorge, acting as if we were real gamblers, fooling no one at all.  Then I would leave early, and he'd let me borrow his 38 Chevy to go pick up Sue with.  He loved Sue and came to visit us in Sumter, SC in 1955, on the train, and Sue would feed him good food and we'd drive him around the country side.  I never knew a man who enjoyed life any more than Granddad Charlie."

The News of Yesteryear section in the Springs Valley Herald reported the following from May 15, 1947: "Rolla Wininger announced the sale of his meat market and grocery store located on College Ave.  The new owner is Howard Purkhiser who formerly operated a similar establishment on Indiana Ave.  Mr. Wininger has operated the business for the past sixteen months having purchased it from Charles Lane."

His 1918 World War I draft registration card described him as medium height, medium build, blue eyes and light hair.  His occupation was night watchman for Mr. Taggart and the railroad.  His address was 210 Maple, French Lick, IN.  Registrar's Report said "ankles imperfect due to accident."  His 1942 World War II draft registration card described him as 5’ 9” tall, 185 pounds, occupation was self-employed, address was 210 Maple, French Lick, IN.

Mrs. Zoe Kearby and Mrs. Geneva Clay of French Lick, Hugh of Azusa, California and Guy of Verdugo City, California, have so many precious memories to be cherished.  In later life she has had grandchildren upon whom she lavished her love and devotion and found it was returned to her full measure and pressed down.  One great grandchild, Donna Sue Cox, three sisters, Mrs. Maude Beatty, Mrs. Cloe Anna Beatty, Mrs. Pearl Briner, two brothers, Sampson and Noble Lane are left here.  Her father, mother, Ruth, Grace and William have gone on before."

A good man is gone.  The home, community and church will miss him.  We cannot know or understand God's plans but our faith gives us insight in the future and confidence to believe that this kind and loving father and husband who has made his home here one of paradise for his loved ones, has gone to prepare for them an eternal home where moth and rust cannot corrupt.  As he loved and adored his grandchildren he now stands waiting with outstretched arms to receive all who follow in grandfather's footsteps.  He leaves to mourn his departure four sisters, one brother, a devoted wife, two sons, three daughters, two son-in-laws, three granddaughters, a grandson and a host of relatives and friends.  His mother, father, one brother and two sisters preceded him to the city Beautiful."  He was buried at South Liberty Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Maple wood, in a wooded area near the Des Plaines River.  White said he was walking near the river about three-fourths of a mile north of Archer near Western Springs when he found a cosmetic case.  Nearby were a pair of glasses, make-up articles and bits of partly burned clothing.  White said he began searching the area and then found the suitcase about 300 feet from the river.  It was burned on one end and about the handle.  Severed letters were found in the suitcase and were being examined by police.  The police said Berndt told them his wife had phoned from Florida, asking him to meet her plane at 5:39 a.m. Sunday.  Berndt told the police he set his alarm, perparatory to meeting the plane, but then decided not to get up because he had been up late Saturday night.  He added he was afraid Marlette might also be at the airport and 'there might be trouble'.  Marlette told authorities that he an Mrs. Berndt were divorced three years ago.  Police found $120 in crisp new bills in her purse.  Chief Daniel Conway of the Forest Preserve Rangers said she apparently had been killed early Sunday in a car.  The body then was dumped, he said, in the spot where it was found.  The death scene is about eight miles east of the Chicago city limits at 3500 south.  Police were searching for witnesses who might have seen Mrs. Berndt leave the plane on which she was due to arrive from her vacation.  Dr. Jerome Kearns, chief coroner's physician, said there was no evidence of rape.  The body was found by Raymond Scantlen, 29, who lives in a trailer camp near Elmhurst.  Scantlen told police he had driven to the Forest Preserve and saw the body while walking on a footpath.  The discovery was made at 10:20 a.m.  The coroner's office estimated that Mrs. Berndt had been dead four or five hours.  The victim was wearing a red cloth coat with mouton fur collar and cuffs, a gray suit with horizontal pin stripes, nylon stockings, red alligator high-heeled shoes, a white blouse, girdle and pink slip.  None of the clothing was in disarray.  A pearl earring was on her right ear.  A matching earring was found several feet west of the path.  Chief Conway theorized that Mrs. Berndt had been riding in a car with a man - that they quarreled - and that the argument led to a blow on her cheek.  Mrs. Berndt's face was discolored on the cheek.  Conway said that the man then apparently seized the handkerchief from Mrs. Berndt and used it to kill her.  Forest Preserve Ranges found a scrap of paper near the body which bore the name of a Hinsdale man.  The clue proved worthless, however, when they discovered the man had lost the paper while practicing woodlore in the area several days ago with his Boy Scout son.  Police said that the soles of Mrs. Berndt's shoes were dry when she was found on the slushy ground, indicating she had been carried there.  Marlette said that his former wife lived at 5835 S. Mozart, where she operated a beauty shop.  He added that he and his ex-wife have a son, Donald, 21, a machinist, and a 9-year-old daughter, Linda.  Donald's wife, Emily, 19, of 5004 S. Aberdeen, said Mrs. Bendt last visited their home Jan. 17, the day after Donald's 21st birthday.  At that time, Emily said, Mrs. Berndt said she was separated from her husband and that she 'was through with men.'  'I don't intend to date any men and never plan to get married again,' the daughter-in-law quoted Mrs. Berndt as saying."  Her death notice in the Chicago Daily Tribune (February 11, 1953) reported "Ann Marlette Berndt, 5835 S. Mozart, wife of Walter Berndt, mother of Donald and Linda Marlette, daughter of Alta and John Parks of French Lick, Ind., sister of Mrs. Velva Lynn.  At chapel, 316 W. 63d Street at Harvard Avenue, until 10 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11.  Services and interment at French Lick, Ind."

Chester was not a scholar - he had to attend summer remedial classes at Indiana Central College at Danville, IN, in order to graduate from high school.  However, he always loved to read, and he was proud to have held card number 01 at the French Lick Library (now the Melton Public Library).  His favorite genre of literature was the historical novel, but he also enjoyed mysteries such as "Sherlock Holmes" and "the Saint".

He and his brother Clarence owned two gambling establishments, the Club Chateau in West Baden and the Green Acres Club in French Lick (their uncle, Perry C. Lane operated the Indiana Club, directly across from the Chateau Club).  Both of them worked for a brief time at casinos in Lake Tahoe, NV and Las Vegas, NV.  Casinos, Copperheads, Pioneers and Politicians reported "The Club Chateau, adjacent to the Indiana Club, provided casino operations, eventually became a Baptist parsonage and is at this writing a private residence."  It went on to say, "The 1950's club closings were dramatic incidents in the history of the valley.  On June 12, 1950, matters came to a head when Lieutenant Albert R. Stiles of the Indiana State Police at Jasper ... confiscated roulette, dice, and poker equipment at the Gorge and at the Club Chateau ... The Gorge and Club Chateau were again raided the week preceding the Kentucky Derby held the first Saturday in May 1951.  Law enforcement officers besieged the Club Chateau on Thursday evening, May 3, arresting three operators ... twelve visitors were also arrested."  The Green Acres Club was only open for a short while.  Bowing to pressure from the authorities, Chester converted the building into a motel around 1954.  The original building burned to the ground in 1959 during a flood, and Chester and Ermel built a new motel on the same site.  Ermel Lane retired and sold the motel in 1975, but the new owners kept the name Lane's Motel.  In November 1994, a fire once again burned the motel to the ground, and a new motel was built on the same site.  As of 2016, the owners continue to use the name Lane's Motel.

 

Chester purchased the farm on May 17, 1934 in Prospect, Orange, Indiana, United States. Gary  Lane reported that all of the land around Prospect originally belonged to Philip and Penelope Busick Shively.  When Philip died the land was divided among his children and this land went to Martha Shively Lane.  She ultimately gave or sold it to her son Wilford Monroe Lane.  When he died, his brother Philip Shively Lane, who was a banker at the time, managed to get the property for debts he claimed Wilford owed to him (see the probate records for Wilford), and eventually sold it to Chester.

 

Chester Robert Lane reported that he remembered digging a hole for his father under the floor of the garage, into which he put money wrapped in wax paper sealed in a mason jar.  He had strong views about money - getting it, spending it and saving it.

 

He appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1920 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.   He appeared in the census in 1930 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Chester (23), Ermel (23) and James (1).  They were renting a house at 217 Walnut Street in French Lick.  His occupation was clerk at the Indiana Club.   He appeared in the census in 1940 in Prospect, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Chester (33), Ermel (33), Jimmie (10), Robert (8) and Harry (2).  His occupation was clerk in a private business.  

 

He died on June 24, 1963 at the age of 56 in Paoli, Orange, Indiana, United States.  James Lane related that Chester had colon cancer about 1959.  He had had some rectal bleeding for some time before the cancer was discovered.  His doctor at Washington, IN, thought it was hemorrhoids.  He finally had a colonoscopy, which revealed the cancer.  After treatment, which improved his life somewhat, the cancer reappeared in his bones, and perhaps in his lungs.  Chester's last trip to the Orange County Hospital began with James and Ermel helping him into the back seat of the car to take him to the hospital.   However, they only made it as far as the Gulf filling station in West Baden when Chester said that he didn't think he could make it.  They called an ambulance to pick him up.  Chester's bones were so weakened by his cancer that his collar bone broke in the process of getting him into the car.  He died in the hospital about two weeks later.  The hospital put a cot in his room, and Ermel stayed with him all the time. His death certificate reported the following: cause of death was pneumonia and colon cancer, residence was French Lick, Indiana, occupation was motel operator, marital status was married.  He was buried on June 26, 1963 at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.  He was buried on son Bob's birthday.

 

Chester Gwynn Lane and Hattie Ermel Toliver were married on November 25, 1927 in Shoals, Martin, Indiana, United States.  Harry Lane reported that Ermel worked as a ticket-taker at the local cinema in high school and Chester used to hang around and "pester" her.  Eventually they started dating.  James Lane asked Ermel why she and Chester were married in Shoals and vaguely recalled being told something about it not appearing in the local paper if they were married out of the county.   Hattie Ermel Toliver4,14,16,41,54, daughter of William Maxfield Toliver and Lavinia Elma Stackhouse, was born on October 22, 1906 in West Baden, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1920 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She graduated in 1924 at French Lick High School in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She received a BA, Secondary Education (Math, Latin) degree in 1929 at Indiana University in Bloomington, Monroe, Indiana, United States.

102.  Clarence Philip Shively "Bud" Lane4,14,16,30,41 was born on January 22, 1909 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States. (book H-12, page 4).

 

He and his brother Chester owned two gambling establishments, the Club Chateau in West Baden and the Green Acres Club in French Lick (their uncle, Perry C. Lane operated the Indiana Club, directly across from the Chateau Club).  Both of them worked for a brief time at casinos in Lake Tahoe, NV and Las Vegas, NV.

 

He appeared in the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1920 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1930 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States. It lists Clarence (22) and Grace (22).   His occupation was clerk at the Indiana Club.  He appeared in the census in 1940 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Clarence (30), Grace (30), Patricia (8) and Barbara (4).  His occupation was night club operator.  His highest level of education was 12th grade, Grace's was the same.

 

He died on February 23, 1953 at the age of 44 in Las Vegas, Clark, Nevada, United States.  The Springs Valley Herald (February 26, 1953) reported "Clarence (Bud) Lane, 44, died in Las Vegas, Nevada, Monday morning about 4 o'clock. Bud had worked Sunday night until 3 A.M. and on returning home entered the bathroom to prepare for bed and collapsed from a heart attack.  He had complained during the day Sunday that he was not feeling up to par, but did not think it serious.  His son and daughter, Buddy Joe and Ann were living with him in the same motor court as were his brother Chester and wife.  Lane was a student of the French Lick High School from 1923 to 1927, a former partner with this brother Chester in the Club Chateau, West Baden and the Green Acres Club in French Lick.  The body is being returned here today (Thursday) and will arrive at five o'clock by train and will be taken to Ritter and Son Funeral Parlors.  Friends may call after 9 a.m. Friday.  Funeral arrangements are not definite as we go to press but it is thought that the funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at Ritters.  He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Patty Stevenson, Ann Lane, one son, Buddy Joe, and one grandson, Bruce Stevenson.  His father Charles Lane and a sister, Mrs. Herbert Bledsoe of French Lick, and a brother Chester of West Baden and Las Vegas."  The Springs Valley Herald also reported "Clarence Philip Lane, second son of Charles and Emma Connell Lane, was born in French Lick on January 22, 1909.  He suddenly passed from this world on February 23, 1953 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 44 years and 1 month.  Bud grew up in the home of his parents and attended French Lick High School.  Most of his life was spent in French Lick.  At an early age he was united in marriage to Grace Springer.  Into their home was born three children, Patricia, now Mrs. Gene Stevenson of Paoli, Ann and Buddy Joe at home.  Bud's cheerfulness, friendliness and his pleasing personality brought him many friends.  The gift of making friends is one of God's best gifts.  To make friends one must forget oneself.  It means finding that which is noble and loving in another and appreciating it.  His generosity is best known to the many who received help when it was needed.  One of the most essential qualities of real character is the willingness to accept responsibility and Bud accepted his responsibilities without a murmur or complaint.  He was baptized into membership in the First Christian Church on March 30, 1921 by Rev. N. L. Collins.  His gifts to his church were generously and cheerfully given.  His mother preceded him in death in 1943.  Surviving with his three children are his father, Charles Lane, brother Chester, sister Mrs. Edith Bledsoe and one grandson, Bruce Stevenson of Paoli.  We are never ready for death to claim our loved ones, and the mystery is even greater when a fine, stalwart young man is so suddenly stricken and taken from his children who need him so badly.  They were his very life and their welfare his one great interest.  God does not plan for us to understand all things but he has left us many promises that  comfort our hearts.  To the loved ones we would say: tighten your loins with God's promises and keep the strong staff of faith and hope in your hand.  Trust God in your dark hours of grief.  We are safer with Him in the dark than without Him in the sunshine.  His rod and staff never break.  Why he takes our loved ones whom we need so much we know not now but we shall know hereafter.  Hebrews 13:5 says 'I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.

For Thou Art With Me

I know not when I go, nor where,
From this familiar scene;
But He is Here and He is There
and all the way between;
And when I pass from all I know
To that dim, vast, unknown,
Though late I stay, or soon I go, I shall not go alone.

 

He was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Perhaps this is why she has been spared beyond the years he doctors though her heart could last.  Besides her husband she leaves her two daughters, Lucille and Mary Zoe, two sons-in-law, Harold Cox and Alva Taylor, whom she loved as her sons, three granddaughters, Mrs. Donald Bailey of Hawaii, Mary Lou Cox, Kay Lynn Taylor, and a new grandson Timothy Guy Taylor; two brothers, Hugh of Azusa, Calif., and Guy of Glendale, Calif.; two sisters Mrs. Marie Barber of Indianapolis and Mrs. Geneva Clay.  She also leaves nieces, nephews and many other relatives and friends."

The family moved frequently when James was young.  He was not sure of the time or order of the moves.  They lived on Walnut Street in French Lick for a while, and stayed with his grandparents, William and Lavinia Stackhouse Toliver when he was about 5 years old.  He remembered that Viney fixed biscuits and gravy for breakfast nearly every morning.  William would eat breakfast holding grandson Bob (Chester Robert Lane) on his knee.  They would both have gravy all over their faces.  He also spent a brief period of time with his other grandmother, Emma Dot Connell Lane, while Chester worked out of town.  He was in San Antonio, TX, for his time in the military.  He was in Hammond, IN, for the short time he worked for the Monon railroad.  He and Patricia then came to Terre Haute, IN, so that he could attend college on the GI Bill.  After he graduated, the family lived various places, including Flint, MI and Bloomington, IN.  They returned to Terre Haute in 1961 and stayed.

 

He attended various secondary schools in the French Lick area, graduating from French Lick High School in 1946.  He received a BS, Business Education degree in 1951 at Indiana State University (then named Indiana State Teachers College), Terre Haute, Vigo County, IN.  He received a MBA, General Business degree in 1959 at Indiana University, Bloomington, Monroe County, IN.  He received a DBA, Transportation degree in 1962 at Indiana University, Bloomington, Monroe County, IN.

 

He served in the military from May 16, 1946 to November 6, 1947 at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Bexar, Texas, United States.  He enlisted for 18 months shortly after graduating from high school to avoid being drafted for a longer period of time.  As it turned out, the draft ended shortly after he enlisted.  However, because of his prior service, he was not subject to the draft during the Korean War and was able to use the G.I. Bill of Rights to get his undergraduate degree.  After joining, he was sent to Camp Atterbury, IN to await assignment (with the short enlistment, you were not entitled to choose your branch of service).  He was scheduled for the armored division at Fort Knox, but a strike (coal miners, he believes) resulted in him being sent to the Lacklund Army Air Corps base at San Antonio, TX.  The sergeant had been asking for volunteers for the "Bedpan Commandos" (Medical Corps).  After having to pull K.P. duty for three days straight, James volunteered.  He was sent to Randolph Field, TX, took Medical Corps basic training, and was assigned to a mobile x-ray unit on the base, where he stayed until he was discharged as a corporal.  During his enlistment, the Army Air Corps became a separate branch known as the Air Force.

 

He worked briefly for the Monon Railroad after getting out of the military.  His first job out of college was as an auditor for a major accounting firm.  He took a job teaching accounting for General Motors in 1956, but left the following year.  He taught accounting and transportation at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN.  He was the first chairman of the Accounting Department.

 

He appeared in the census in 1930 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1940 in Prospect, Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

A short time after Patricia's death, James began dating Mary Ellen Myers, widow of Keith Myers.  Keith and Mary Ellen had been long-time friends of Jim and Pat, going back to the 1950's.  Although Jim and Mary Ellen never married, they remained close friends for the rest of his life.

 

He died on May 18, 2007 at the age of 78 in Terre Haute, Vigo, Indiana, United States (book 111, page 488).  He suffered from congestive heart failure for many years.  Periodically, he would retain more fluid than his oral diuretics could treat, and he would go to the hospital to be treated with stronger doses.  When this happened in March 2007, the stronger doses did not help and it was discovered that his kidneys were failing.  After about 3 weeks in the hospital, he was sent to Royal Oaks Rehabilitation Center in Terre Haute to help him regain some of his strength.  On May 4, he moved into Sycamore Manor, an assisted living facility.  However, his health deteriorated rapidly.  He passed away in his apartment with children Nicky and Robert, his lady friend Mary Ellen Myers, and Robert's fiancee Claudia Rost at his side.  The Terre Haute Tribune-Star (May 20, 2007) reported "James E. 'Jim' Lane died Friday, May 18, 2007.  He was formerly a certified public accountant and was retired from Indiana State University.  He was born Aug. 1, 1928, in Orange County, the first son of Chester G.

The operation was called the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre.  The 14th Air Force was the operational descendent of Claire Chennault's famed Flying Tigers.  By the time Reid entered China, most of the Japanese fighter force had retreated to the Homeland to defend against the B-29's that were laying waste to their cities.  However, they had to be watchful of anti-aircraft fire.  These aircraft went on their patrols alone and were assigned a particular area of ocean to cover.  They carried about 18 hours of fuel and their missions were about 16 hours in duration.  The B-24 had a ceiling of about 32,000 feet, so if a typhoon came in, they had to fly through it - the storms were too tall to fly over and too wide to fly around with limited fuel.  On one particular mission, the squadron sent two aircraft (Reid could not remember why).  To get home, they had to fly through a typhoon.  When they emerged, they were over Hainan (Hainandao) Island off North Vietnam, which was Japanese occupied, and the plane was immediately subjected to anti-aircraft fire.  While transiting the storm, the crew had left their battle stations and gathered in the fuselage behind the flight deck.  They were hit by at least one burst of flak, which took off a portion of one of the two vertical stabilizers and the rear gun turret, which made the aircraft very difficult to fly.  They were low on fuel, so the pilot had feathered one prop, and they were lost.  The pilot ordered the crew to bail out while he stayed to try to land the aircraft, but the crew took a vote (very unmilitary of them) and told him they would all bail out together or they would all ride it down together.  They finally found a field (their comm gear was primitive and they had no contact with their home base), but they didn't know which side it belonged to.  The fuel gauges were on "E", so they landed.  The field turned out to be British.  No one knows what became of the second aircraft.  Another incident involved them arriving in the vicinity of their home field one dark evening and not being able to find it.  There were no landing lights.  The navigator was pulling his hair, positive he was in the right place.  Again, fuel was low, one of two engines had been feathered, and nerves were frayed.  Just when they were preparing for a crash landing, the runway lights came on.  The pilot made a hot descent and landed safely.  It turns out that the field commander had been warned that there were Japanese bombers in the area and had ordered lights out and radio silence.  They could hear the plane circling and the pleas on the radio, but would not answer.  When it became clear that the craft was running out of fuel and about to crash, the order was given to turn the lights on for a short period.  He was about 10 weeks short of his 20th birthday when he returned home.  Reid received the Bronze Star, the Air Medal, and possibly, the Distinguished Flying Cross.  Don Hagan was unable to locate any of these and Reid couldn't remember where they were.  His first wife took one of them for a memento.  Reid served two terms as Orange County Treasurer.  He died on May 23, 2006 at the age of 80 at Orange County Hospital in Paoli, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Don Hagan reported that Reid fell in his basement on May 19.  He hit his head on the stairs, resulting in a blood clot on the brain.  He was taken to the Orange County Hospital, where he died a few days later.  His death certificate reported the following: cause of death was pneumonia and multiple trauma, residence was 2225 Old S.R. 145, French Lick, occupation was field supervisor for the State of Indiana, marital status was widower.  The Springs Valley Herald (Wednesday, May 31, 2006) reported "Graveside services will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday at Ames Chapel Cemetery for Reid C. Hagan, 80, French Lick, who died Tuesday at Bloomington Hospital of Orange County.  Born in Orange County on Sept. 17, 1925, he was the son of Luther and Agnes Cope Hagan.  He married Henrietta Thurston, and she preceded him in death.  He retired from Indiana Employment Security Division as a field supervisor, had been a public accountant and was a veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corp, having served in WWII.  Survivors include one stepson, Jim Thurston of Chicago, IL; and two brothers, Dr. Marion Hagan of French Lick and Don Hagan of Indianapolis.  Preceding him in death with the wife were his parents, two sisters, one brother and one stepson.  Graveside Military rites will be accorded by French Lick American Legion Post #76.  Brosmer-Kemple Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements." He was buried on May 27, 2006 at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Chapter Five: Daniel Lane

 

The evidence connecting Daniel to the family is strong.  There appears to have been only one Lane family in Orange County through the 1840 census, so it is likely that Daniel belongs to this family.  He was born in North Carolina.  He and Harmon Lane married Collins sisters at a time when it was common for siblings to marry siblings of another family.  He and Jonathan helped to handle Harmon’s estate and Harmon’s daughter Prudence lived with one of Daniel’s daughters after Harmon died.  He and Jonathan were also jointly sued over a debt in 1840.  He lived in the area of the county where the other Lanes first appear to have lived when they came to Orange County. 

 

First Generation

 

1.  Daniel Lane1–5 was born on July 29, 1814 in North Carolina, United States. The date is based on the age of 64y/9m/13d reported on his grave stone.  A listing printed in the Springs Valley Herald in the latter 1900's listed the age as 4y.  The error was probably due to the poor condition of the stone.  He was a farmer.

 

He immigrated between 1821 and 1823 to Orange, Indiana, United States.  History of Idaho, 1920, contains a biography of Silas and Dovey Lane Luttrell which states that Dovey's father (and Daniel's brother) Jonathan Lane came to Indiana as a child, with his parents.  Given his young age, Daniel must have come with the family.  See the data for William Lane for more information.

Daniel served as guardian for Harmon Lane's minor children after his death.  Jonathan Lane and his son Martin served as sureters for Daniel's bond.  See the death notes for Harmon Lane.

 

He appeared in the census in 1840 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists 1 male 0-5 [Levi], 1 male 20-30 [Daniel] and 1 female 20-30 [Mary].  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Daniel (36), Mary (32), Levi (13), Matilda (10), Clorenda (7), Louisa (8) and Lanceford (3) living next door to Mary's parents.  Hel appeared in the census in 1860 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Daniel (46), Mary (42), Clorinda (18), Louisa (15), Lanceford (11), Mary (9) and Elisabeth (5) living next door to Glapha Giles Wolfington and two of her children.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Daniel (57), Mary (53), Louisa (23), Mary (20), Elizabeth (14), Elzoria (9) and Lanceford (21).

 

He died on May 12, 1879 at the age of 64 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  Civil and probate records show that Mary Lane, widow of Daniel Lane filed a petition for widow's rights, which was granted in the October term of 1879.  He was buried at Prospect Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

Daniel Lane and Mary Collins were married on June 11, 1835 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-2, page 62).  Brothers Daniel and Harmon Lane married sisters Mary and Elizabeth Collins.  Mary Collins1–2,6–7, daughter of James Collins and Susannah Carter, was born on March 14, 1818 in Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1820 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1840 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She died on May 8, 1892 at the age of 74 in Bedford, Lawrence, Indiana, United States.  The Orleans Progress (May 12, 1892) reported "Mrs. Mary Lane died at Bedford last Sunday of paralysis, aged 76 years.  Her remains were shipped to West Baden Monday where the funeral services were conducted.  She was the mother of eight children [there were actually nine children, see Clorinda Lane's obituary], seven of whom survive her, one of them being Mrs. David Jones, near Mt. Pleasant. She was a cheerful, kind hearted old lady, whom it was a pleasure to know, and her death cast a shadow over a large circle of relatives and friends.  Lansford Lane, a prosperous farmer living near Terre Haute was at West Baden last Monday attending the funeral of his mother.  On his return he visited his sister, Mrs. David Jones, near Mt.

Second Generation

 

2.  Levi Lane1–2,9 was born on March 14, 1837 in Orange, Indiana, United States. He was a farmer.

 

He appeared in the census in 1840 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1860 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Levi (22), Elizabeth (22) and James (2).  He appeared in the census in 1870 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Levi (33), Elizabeth (32), Thomas (11), Cyrus (7), Alvin (5) and Benjamin (2).  He appeared in the census in 1880 in Linton Township, Vigo, Indiana, United States.  It lists Levi (42), Thomas (19), Cyrus (17), Alvin (15), Benjamin (13), Lenel (10) and Mary (7).

 

He is mentioned in deed record book 18, page 423 (June 21, 1858), which stated "Philip and Penelope Shively [Levi's in-laws] for natural love and affection, warranty deed to trustees of the Christian Church of New Prospect: John Purkhizer, Levi Lane, and Henry Hall."

 

Levi sold SE NE Section 11 1N 2W on September 24, 1874 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  This is in the Moore's Ridge area.  Levi's brother Lansford sold land about the same time.  This must be about the time they moved to Vigo County, IN.  Interestingly, brother-in-law Wesley Grigsby lived in Honey Creek Township in Vigo County for a short while before returning to Orange County to marry Mary Lane.  Could he have influenced Lansford and Levi to migrate to Vigo County?

 

He died Unknown.  Clorinda Lane Dixon's 1927 obituary reported that he had preceded her in death.

3.  Matilda Lane1–2,6,15 was born on August 20, 1840 in Orange, Indiana, United States.

 

She appeared in the census in 1850 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1860 in Orleans Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Orleans Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Orleans Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Matilda (39), Sarah (17), Clorinda (14), Reuben (12), Louisa (9) and Benjamin (6).

 

She died on December 13, 1897 at the age of 57 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  The Orleans Progress (December 16, 1897) reported "Mrs. Matilda Jones, whose illness was noted in a recent issue, died last Monday evening at a quarter past one o'clock.  Mrs. Jones has been a sufferer from paralysis of the lower limbs for nearly twelve years and was confined to her bed all the time.  She was born August 20, 1840 and was married January 29, 1857 to Ben P. Chatham.  Of this union seven children were born.  On Feb. 8, 1880, her husband died; leaving her the care of the family.  Three years later she married David Jones. Of this union one child, a girl was born, and shortly after she was stricken with paralysis and suffered all the agonies attendant until the day of her death.  However, she bore it all with that true Christian fortitude and patience that had characterized her early life.  She was a devout Christian and those who stood by her bedside and watched her sufferings and heard her agonizing prayers to 'go home' could have no doubt as to her future.  As we stood by her bedside during her last hours we were forcibly impressed with the beauties of a true Christian religion and realized the stability of a hope founded on the promises of the Redeemer.  She was well known to all of our people and was the recipient of many kind and sympathetic words from all who visited her. Hers was a cheerful disposition and until a few weeks before death, when her suffering grew so intense, was a congenial companion.  But the spirit has left its frail abide and joined the glad throng in a clime where suffering is unknown.  The children and friends, while losing a loving mother and a kind true friend, are glad that her suffering is over and that the body, that for so many years was packed with pain is now at rest.  The funeral services conducted by Eld. M. C. Clark, of Campbellsburg, were held at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. H. F. Johnson, yesterday at one o'clock, after which the remains were laid to rest in the beautiful I.O.O.F. cemetery by the side of the husband and son who had preceded her to that happy land.  Many beautiful floral emblems were laid on the casket, and the large concourse of people who followed her to the grave bore silent testimony to her worth as a lady and the high regard in which she was held by the community.  The children desire to return their sincere thanks to the host of friends who, by their many charitable and kindly acts contributed largely to her comfort during her last days.  Mr. Jones died two years ago and again she was left to battle alone."  The Orleans Progress (January 6, 1898) reported "Mrs. Matilda Jones was born near French Lick, Indiana, August 20, 1840.  She was the daughter of Daniel Lane, an old resident and prominent citizen of Orange County.  She was united in marriage to Benjamin P. Chatham, January 29, 1857.  They located on the old Chatham farm near Orleans. There were seven children born of this union.  The father and mother with their precious children composed a happy home.  The old home roof under the brow of the hill and the new residence afterwards built by the loving husband and father, where Lemuel Richardson now lives, are pictured indelibly on the minds and hearts of the surviving children as a model home and as one of the spots on earth where the sunlight of love and happiness shed their gentle influence in a glow of diffusive warmth, and where they all swelt in a strong bond of affection.  In the fall of 1879 Mr. Chatham, with his family, became residents of Orleans.  In the early part of 1880 he was attacked with pneumonia and died of the disease, February 8, 1880, being the first member to be separated from the hitherto unbroken family circle.  Mrs. Chatham remained a widow until October 12, 1882 when she entered into marriage relationship with David Jones, who lived in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood.  Tillie was born to them and survives both of her parents, her father having died March 23, 1896.  The subject of this sketch was an invalid about twelve before she was released from her dreadful pain.  She was stricken with paraplegia of the lower limbs and although she received the best treatment medical skill could devise the disease developed into general paralysis.  She lived to bestow her blessing on each one of her seven children by her first marriage in the ordinance of their marriage.  They all survive her except the youngest two, Lulu and Wesley, who awaited and welcomed her coming into the spirit world.  Mrs. Jones died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Homer F. Johnson, on the 13th inst. at 1:15 o'clock p.m., where she had lived ever since the death of Mr. Jones.  Now it only remains for me to speak of the estimable character and Christian fortitude of the deceased.  Through all of her life she practiced the strictest rules of rectitude.  She was scrupulously just, but withal liberal and charitable to a fault.  She possessed a loving nature. The good and beautiful found a true admirer in her; the poor and distressed a sympathizing friend.  She had a sunny social disposition and even in and through her long period of suffering she exercised great patience and due regard for the feelings of others.  Her friendship was a benediction and no doubt the many kind words and acts she bestowed on her acquaintances will be as bread cast upon the waters, if not to return to her to those who were dearer to her than all else in this world.  She lived a consistent Christian from her early girlhood.  She joined the Christian Church and remained a communicant of that order until after her marriage with Mr. Jones, when in account of the near proximity of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church to their home she identified herself with that church.  The same faith and love characterized every word and deed of her entire Christian experience.  It was her delight to have some one to read to her, and the Bible was the book that interested her most.  The 23rd Psalm was a favorite selection that she often asked might be read to her.  She trusted in the Lord and although she had suffered bereavements and afflictions greater than many mortals are called to endure she exclaimed with the psalmist, Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  It is an irreparable and heart-rending loss when we are called to part from such a mother, but her memory will always abide with us as a caress and a blessing.  Her precept and example will live in the hearts of her loved ones and the pages of the book of life will impart sweeter lessons, because mother helped to impress them.  She bore her physical suffering with as much fortitude as it was possible for a human being to do.  She appreciates the careful attention of her physicians and the loving friends, but when human love and help failed with her as they must with all of us one after another.  She quietly and peacefully fell asleep, leaning on the everlasting arms of her Savior." Matilda was buried at Orleans IOOF Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Her life having begun when Indiana as a state was yet young she has known the struggles and hardships of the early life of our country and has seen its development in various lines.  In education from the log school house few in number with their rude equipment to the schools as they exist today.  The churches from the worship in the home of some devout Christian who chose to convert his home into a sanctuary rather than be denied Christian worship, the little log chapels and on to the churches of today.  Our highway system from its unimproved condition to the present system.  Our towns as they are today from villages of only a few homes.  She has known of the struggles and conflicts of our nation for more that three quarters of a century and though never bereft of loved ones in war as many have been, her heart went out in sympathy to those who suffered loss from the ravages of war.  All her life has been spent in Orange County.  In the year 1858 the Church of Christ was organized at New Prospect with about twenty charter members of which she was one and where her membership remained until death.

C. Campbell where she had made her home and where all was done for her that could be done. After little more than a day of suffering the end came so peacefully that we are made to say, 'O, death where is thy sting? O, grave where is thy victory?'  As we are told the sting of death is sin, we think there was no sting in death for her."  She was buried on March 28, 1927 at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Pinnick, who was named commander in an election of officers held recently.  Mr. Pinnick, who resides at 1516 North C street, is 82 years of age and served with the 144th Indiana Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War.  He enlisted at Orangeville, Ind., on February 1865 and was mustered out of service, by reason of the ending of the war, on August 15, 1865.  The new officers will be installed at a special ceremony to be held Saturday afternoon, January 4."  He died on July 29, 1934 at the age of 87 in Richmond, Wayne, Indiana, United States.  The Richmond Palladium (July 30, 1934) reported "George W.

6.  Lansford Lane1–2,5–6,19 was born on September 30, 1847 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  This date is on his death certificate.   Heidi Kuhn reported the year as 1848, in West Baden, Orange County, IN.

 

His mother's 1892 obituary reported that he was a prosperous farmer living on a large farm near Terre Haute where he operated a dairy and kept a large number of fine horses.  This farm must have been in Honey Creek Township, where he was reported in the 1880 census and the 1890 Terre Haute City Directory.  He moved into the city of Terre Haute in 1892, based on the fact that he is listed there in the 1892 Terre Haute City Directory, and ran a livery stable.

 

He sold E 1/2 NW Section 16 2N 2W on August 17, 1874 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  This is in the Moore's Ridge area.  Lansford's brother Levi sold land about the same time.  This must be about the time they moved to Vigo County, IN.  Interestingly, brother-in-law Wesley Grigsby lived in Honey Creek Township in Vigo County for a short while before returning to Orange County to marry Mary Lane.  Could he have influenced Lansford and Levi to migrate to Vigo County?

He died on February 18, 1903 at the age of 55 in Terre Haute, Vigo, Indiana, United States.  His death certificate reported the following: cause of death was acute nephritis, residence was 2300 Poplar St. in Terre Haute, Indiana, marital status was married.  The Terre Haute Gazette (February 20, 1903) reported "Lansford Lane, 55 years of age, died at 1:45 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at his residence, 23rd and Poplar streets, of Bright's disease.  Mr. Lane is survived by his wife, four daughters and four sons.  Mr. Lane, who at one time operated a livery stable in Terre Haute, was a member of the I.O.O.F.  He was prominent in politics and was at one time a candidate for nomination before the Democratic convention for the office of sheriff.  Interment will be at Mount Pleasant cemetery."  He was buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Vigo, Indiana, United States.

Underwood, daughter of Henry and Nancy Underwood, a young woman possessing all the qualities of a woman of highest character. To this union was born a daughter, Nannie May, Jan. 8, 1880, who died in infancy.  Bereft for the loss of a child, they seemed to live more devoted to each other until at length the wife's health failed and death came Sept. 3, 1896, leaving the home broken.  At this time he went to the home of his eldest sister, Caroline M., Mrs. Van R. Noblitt of Orangeville, In., where he remained until he united in marriage to Asenath Pinnick, daughter of James B. and Clarinda Lane Pinnick. Feb. 20, 1901.  They at once established a home in Orangeville where they lived comfortably and happily until the death of the sister, Mrs. Noblitt, in March 1907, he having spoken of his happiness to again be in a home of his own.  After the death of his sister, they moved into her home with a nephew, John A. Campbell, where they resided until his death.  This home, a part of the Campbell homestead, just across the state highway from the place of his birth. This home was dearer to him because of these early attachments and memories.  No man was more devoted to his home and companion.  He was always doing all in his power to make it a home in its fullest sense. Soon after the death of his first wife, he was converted at his home. He loved to go to church, to mingle with neighbors and friends and to have them come to their home, doing his utmost in his unassuming way to make all who came feel a welcome.  Their home was shared with the wife's mother during the greater part of the last three years of her life.  Churches, charitable causes and those in need received help at his hand.   It can be truly said that the beauty of his life was portrayed by his gentleness, meekness, honesty and trueness, making a character of highest integrity.  At the age of 81 years, 8 months and 1 day, on March 5, 1932, just as the shadows of night were gently and silently falling over the earth, the shadow of death fell upon him and his spirit was wafted to that new bright home, having told his companion that morning that he was ready to go.  With his passing one of the pioneers of the community has gone.  While the wife and near ones so deeply feel the great loss, may they look to Him who in the fullness of his love and mercy can heal all our sorrows, and may all who knew him, though touched by his departure from this life, rather rejoice that they have come in contact with one whose life was so full of years and so rich in mercy, love and sympathy.  Christ said, 'In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye may be also.'  Besides those mentioned who had preceded him in death, he was also preceded by the mother on April 6, 1890; by a sister, Sarah E. Charles, Jan. 24, 1892; by George W. Campbell, Nov. 25, 1906; Caroline M. Noblitt, March 8, 1907, and James P. Campbell, March 23, 1913.  He is survived by the wife, seven nephews and two nieces, several great nephews and nieces and a number of great, great nephews and nieces, besides many other relatives and friends.  Funeral services were held at Ames Chapel, Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., conducted by Rev. A. H. Rumbley of West Baden, Rev. Horace Hines of Sullivan, Ind. and Rev. N. F. Denny of Indianapolis, Ind."  He was buried at Ames Chapel Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.

Chapter Six: Harmon Lane

 

The evidence connecting Harmon to the family is strong.  There appears to have been only one Lane family in Orange County through the 1840 census, so it is likely that Harmon belongs to this family.  His mother Nancy lived with him when the 1850 census was taken.  He was born in North Carolina.  He and Daniel Lane married Collins sisters at a time when it was common for siblings to marry siblings of another family.  He lived in the area of the county where the other Lanes first appear to have lived when they came to Orange County.  Daniel and Jonathan helped to handle his estate and his daughter Prudence lived with one of Daniel’s daughters after Harmon died. 

 

First Generation

 

1.  Harmon Lane1–4 was born about 1814 in North Carolina, United States.

 

He immigrated between 1821 and 1823 to Orange, Indiana, United States.  History of Idaho, 1920, contains a biography of Silas and Dovey Lane Luttrell which states that Dovey's father (and Harmon's brother) Jonathan Lane came to Indiana as a child, with his parents.  Given his young age, Harmon must have also come with the family.   See the document for William Lane for more information.

 

Orange County land transactions involving Harmon Lane (research by Gary Lane):
 
November 3, 1838        Harmon Lane from Wm. Lindley, SE 1/4 NW 1/4 Sec 18 1N 1W
September 23, 1853      Harmon Lane from J.B. Bush, SE 1/4 SE 1/4 Sec 18 1N 1W

 

He appeared in the census in 1840 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. It list 1 male 20-30 and 1 female 15-20.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Harmon (36), Elizabeth (24), Alvin (7), Mary (3), Prudence (6/12) and his mother, Nancy (70).

 

Harmon died in 1857 at the age of 43 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  In probate court records, Daniel Lane served as guardian for Harmon's minor children.  Later Jonathan Lane and his son Martin served as sureters for Daniel's bond, and then later asked to be released, at which point Daniel came with his son Levi.  Probate court records include:

July 7, 1858                    Daniel Lane appointed guardian of Alvin, Mary, Prudence and Margaret; Reuben Moore                                 appointed  administrator.

April 12, 1859                Henry Underwood appointed guardian of Harmon Lane heirs.

June 4, 1863                   Daniel Lane vs. Alvin Lane (Harmon's son).

June 3, 1864                   Daniel Lane posted $100 bond as guardian for Harmon's minor children.

November 2, 1864        Jonathan and Martin Lane file to be released as sureters of Daniel.  Daniel then comes with son Levi  Lane, John W. Pinnick, William Daugherty and Volney J. Pinnick.
October 21, 1866 Daniel Lane is appointed guardian for $21.

 

Harmon Lane and Elizabeth Collins were married on November 16, 1837 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-2, page 81).   Brothers Harmon and Daniel Lane married sisters Elizabeth and Mary Collins.  Elizabeth Collins2–3, daughter of James Collins and Susannah Carter, was born between 1820 and 1825 in Indiana, United States.  This is based on the 1840 census, which lists her in the 15-20 age range.  The 1850 census lists her age as 24, which would mean she was only 11 when she married Harmon, so her age must be incorrect.  She appeared in the census in 1830 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1840 in Paoli Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She died Unknown.  It is likely that she died before her husband.  Why else would the children need a guardian when Harmon died?

 

Harmon Lane and Elizabeth Collins had the following children:

 

              2              i.   Alvin Lane, born June 20, 1843.

              3             ii.   Mary J. Lane, born about 1847.

              4            iii.   Prudence Lane, born about 1849.

              5            iv.   Margaret Lane, born after 1850.

 

Second Generation

 

2.  Alvin Lane3,5–6 was born on June 20, 1843 in Orange, Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  He served in the military in 1864 in the American Civil War. He mustered into Company F, 131st Regiment of the Thirteenth Cavalry as a private on January 28, 1864.  His military record reports his residence as Orleans, IN.  Alvin died on March 2, 1864 at the age of 20 in New Albany, Floyd, Indiana, United States.  He died of disease while in the military.  He was buried at Scott Cemetery in Orange, Indiana, United States.  His grave stone says he was in the Indiana Cavalry and has lines from the Star-Spangled Banner.

 

3.  Mary J. Lane3 was born about 1847 in Orange, Indiana, United States. 

 

She appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. 

 

Mary died Unknown.

 

Mary J. Lane and George W. Pruett were married on April 28, 1866 in Orange, Indiana, United States (book C-5, page 263). George W. Pruett2–3 was born about 1844 in Indiana, United States.  He appeared in the census in 1870 in Jackson Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists George (26) and Mary (28).  He died Unknown.

     

4.  Prudence Lane3 was born about 1849 in Orange, Indiana, United States. She appeared in the census in 1850 in French Lick Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Orleans Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Matilda (12) living with her cousin, Matilda Lane Chatham.  She appeared in the census in 1870 in Orleans Township, Orange, Indiana, United States.  It lists Prudence (20) living with her cousin, Matilda Lane Chatham.  She appeared in the census in 1880 in Orleans Township, Orange, Indiana, United States. It lists Prudence (28) in the Moses Lewis household.  It is not completely certain that this is the right person.  The name, age, township and birth place fit, but her parents' birth places are listed as Kentucky, which is not a match.  She is reported to have flux (dysentery).  There is no trace of her after this census.  Could her condition have resulted in death?  She died Unknown.

Chapter Seven: Abigail Lane

 

Like many of her siblings, the evidence connecting Abigail to the family is circumstantial, but in my opinion, it is fairly convincing.  There appears to have been only one Lane family in Orange County through the 1840 census, so it is likely that Abigail belongs to this family.  She was born in North Carolina.  She and Nancy Lane married Wolfington brothers at a time when it was common for siblings to marry siblings of another family.  Her brother-in-law William married Glapha Giles, whose sister Rebecca married Jonathan Lane.  Abigail, Jonathan and Mordica lived next door to each other at various times.  She lived in the area of the county where the other Lanes first appear to have lived when they came to Orange County.

Rosetta and Harold only stayed awhile and then went to be with the Heavenly Father of which we find the following word recorded in one of Brother Wolfington's books: 'A short time ago, I was called upon to give in death my precious wife and three weeks later, our dear little boy of five summers.  The blow fell heavily as they were all I had. As the fiery days of grief grew on apace, I felt myself in the very crucible of Gethsemane's sadness.  Truly, it was a fiery furnace, but faith can fight her battles in the abyss of hell itself.'  On March 18, 1912, he was again united in marriage to Ethel Catherine May.  She also preceded him in death January 3, 1923.  To this union one child, Jerold Ellsworth, was born.  He was again married to Iva Mae DeWitt October 1, 1925.  One child, Edward Elwood, being born to this union.

Rev. Wilburn Ellsworth Wolfington and Ethel Catherine May were married on March 18, 1912.  Ethel Catherine May4 was born on June 21, 1892 in Lucas, Iowa, United States.  This date is from her obituary.  Her death certificate listed the year as 1883, but this doesn't match the age listed on the certificate, so the obituary is assumed to be correct.  She died on January 3, 1923 at the age of 30 in French Lick, Orange, Indiana, United States.  Her death certificate reported the following: cause of death was lagrippe (Spanish Flu), occupation was housewife, marital status was married.  The Springs Valley Herald (February 8, 1923) reported "Ethel C. May Wolfington was born in Lucas County, Iowa, June 21, 1892 and died at French Lick, Ind. January 3, 1923.  She was 30 years, 6 months and 12 days old.  She was married to Rev. W. E. Wolfington in March 1921. To them was born one child, Jarold, now eight months old.  Ethel was the daughter of J. W. and Mary May, who were prominent farmers in Lucas County and retired four years ago and located in Chariton, the County seat.  Her girlhood days and younger years were passed in the quiet retreat of her beautiful country home.  This was reflected in her exceptional knowledge of the things of nature.  At the age of twelve she was converted and joined the United Brethren Church near her country home where her parents were members. She grew up in this church and became an effective worker and leader until the family moved to town.  She placed her membership with the United Brethren church in Chariton where it yet remains.  There she quickly became a worker and leader.  She served as head of the various departments and was secretary of the quarterly conference when she left.  Ethel was absolutely consistent in her religious convictions and lived what she professed.  She possessed a kind disposition and was good to everyone. Her attachment to her husband and baby was strong and she was sacrificial and altruistic in the last degree in the home she made so sweet and happy.  The last two weeks before her sickness her untiring efforts were given to save the life of her husband and baby who were ill with the flu.  Both day and night without sleep or rest her labor and devotion were unflagging until she too was suddenly attacked with the deadly influenza from which she never recovered.  She suffered terribly and much, but was never heard to complain.  Her brother came from Iowa, but she was too ill to recognize him.  He accompanied her body to Chariton where she was buried in the family cemetery at the request of her parents.  She leaves to mourn her husband, W. Ellsworth Wolfington and baby, Jarold and mother and father, J. W. and Mary May, four brothers to mourn their loss."  She was buried at Russell Cemetery in Lucas, Iowa, United States.

Transcriber's addendum: This obituary points out two pertinent facts general to this era.  The first is the devastating effect of influenza on the population.  The influenza epidemic that ran world wide from 1915 till 1925 killed millions of people, and was a major contribution to ending World War I.  In fact more soldiers died of influenza during that War than died of warfare.  The epidemic swept through the county during this period and caused the death of many of our folks.  The second point is the tie to Iowa.  During the 1850s and 1860s there was a large contingent of Southeast Township families that moved to Lucas, Marion and Monroe counties, Iowa.  The Mays were part of this move, which is how W. Ellsworth met Ethel, he was visiting family members in Iowa.  An excellent example detailing Orange County families that migrated to Iowa can be found online in the Oakdale Cemetery, Knoxville, Iowa listing, where practically all those interred are from Orange County.

Maple wood, in a wooded area near the Des Plaines River.  White said he was walking near the river about three-fourths of a mile north of Archer near Western Springs when he found a cosmetic case.  Nearby were a pair of glasses, make-up articles and bits of partly burned clothing.  White said he began searching the area and then found the suitcase about 300 feet from the river.  It was burned on one end and about the handle.  Severed letters were found in the suitcase and were being examined by police.  The police said Berndt told them his wife had phoned from Florida, asking him to meet her plane at 5:39 a.m. Sunday.  Berndt told the police he set his alarm, perparatory to meeting the plane, but then decided not to get up because he had been up late Saturday night.  He added he was afraid Marlette might also be at the airport and 'there might be trouble'.  Marlette told authorities that he an Mrs. Berndt were divorced three years ago.  Police found $120 in crisp new bills in her purse.  Chief Daniel Conway of the Forest Preserve Rangers said she apparently had been killed early Sunday in a car.  The body then was dumped, he said, in the spot where it was found.  The death scene is about eight miles east of the Chicago city limits at 3500 south.  Police were searching for witnesses who might have seen Mrs. Berndt leave the plane on which she was due to arrive from her vacation.  Dr. Jerome Kearns, chief coroner's physician, said there was no evidence of rape.  The body was found by Raymond Scantlen, 29, who lives in a trailer camp near Elmhurst.  Scantlen told police he had driven to the Forest Preserve and saw the body while walking on a footpath.  The discovery was made at 10:20 a.m.  The coroner's office estimated that Mrs. Berndt had been dead four or five hours.  The victim was wearing a red cloth coat with mouton fur collar and cuffs, a gray suit with horizontal pin stripes, nylon stockings, red alligator high-heeled shoes, a white blouse, girdle and pink slip.  None of the clothing was in disarray.  A pearl earring was on her right ear.  A matching earring was found several feet west of the path.  Chief Conway theorized that Mrs. Berndt had been riding in a car with a man - that they quarreled - and that the argument led to a blow on her cheek.  Mrs. Berndt's face was discolored on the cheek.  Conway said that the man then apparently seized the handkerchief from Mrs. Berndt and used it to kill her.  Forest Preserve Ranges found a scrap of paper near the body which bore the name of a Hinsdale man.  The clue proved worthless, however, when they discovered the man had lost the paper while practicing woodlore in the area several days ago with his Boy Scout son.  Police said that the soles of Mrs. Berndt's shoes were dry when she was found on the slushy ground, indicating she had been carried there.  Marlette said that his former wife lived at 5835 S. Mozart, where she operated a beauty shop.  He added that he and his ex-wife have a son, Donald, 21, a machinist, and a 9-year-old daughter, Linda.  Donald's wife, Emily, 19, of 5004 S. Aberdeen, said Mrs. Bendt last visited their home Jan. 17, the day after Donald's 21st birthday.  At that time, Emily said, Mrs. Berndt said she was separated from her husband and that she 'was through with men.'  'I don't intend to date any men and never plan to get married again,' the daughter-in-law quoted Mrs. Berndt as saying."  Her death notice in the Chicago Daily Tribune (February 11, 1953) reported "Ann Marlette Berndt, 5835 S. Mozart, wife of Walter Berndt, mother of Donald and Linda Marlette, daughter of Alta and John Parks of French Lick, Ind., sister of Mrs. Velva Lynn.  At chapel, 316 W. 63d Street at Harvard Avenue, until 10 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11.  Services and interment at French Lick, Ind."

Chapter Eight: Thomas Lane

 

Like many of his siblings, the evidence connecting Thomas to the family is circumstantial, but in my opinion, it is fairly convincing.  There appears to have been only one Lane family in Orange County through the 1840 census, so it is likely that Thomas belongs to this family.  He was born in North Carolina.  He lived in the area of the county where the other Lanes first appear to have lived when they came to Orange County. 

 

First Generation

 

1.  Thomas Lane1–5 was born about 1820 in North Carolina, United States.  He was a farmer.

 

He immigrated between 1821 and 1823 to Orange, Indiana, United States.  History of Idaho, 1920, contains a biography of Silas and Dovey Lane Luttrell which states that Dovey's father (and Thomas's brother) Jonathan Lane came to Indiana as a child, with his parents.  Given his young age, Thomas must have come with the family.  See the document for William Lane for more information.

Notes

 

1.       Census Data:  Rather than repeat the detail from a family census entry in each person’s record, it has been recorded only in the Head of Household record, and only the census year and location are recorded in the family member records (with a few exceptions, like adult children living with their parents).  If you are reviewing a person who is not the Head of Household, be sure to look at the Head of Household entry to see if there is additional information.

 

 

2.       Name Spelling:  Spelling of names in obituaries, newspaper articles, census records, etc., was often incorrect.  The spelling could be different in every place it is found.  When I report these facts for a person, I usually report the name as it was spelled, but in some cases I chose to correct the spelling. 

 

3.       Place Naming Convention:  I use the following:  place (township, city, institution, etc.), county, state, country.  Descriptive words are only used when needed for clarification.  Here are some examples:

 

Orangeville Town = Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States

Orangeville Township = Orangeville Township, Orange, Indiana, United States

 

4.       Direct Ancestral Line:  The direct ancestors of the author of this document are highlighted in blue.

 

5.       To the best of my knowledge, this document excludes living people.  However, mistakes happen.  If you have evidence that I have incorrectly listed a person as deceased, please contact me and I will correct my information. 

 

Genealogy research is always a work in progress.  No matter how much information you have, it is never complete.  No matter how much you check your work, it will always contain mistakes.  Please keep this in mind as you read this document.  If you can offer additional information or correct any mistakes, I would love to hear from you.
