her home to Paoli, and the light of her faith never dimmed, she had long weeks of suffering (14 weeks in bed) and the
knowledge that she was not to recover, came to her own mind.  She called to her bedside her friend, Mrs. Ed. Nuss (who had
long been like a sister to her) and explained in detail the plans she wished carried out in the funeral.  She wanted to live,
particularly for her family - they needed her so - but expressed continually her readiness to die, if it be the Lord's Will.  
Her last audible words were: 'Dear Precious Lord.'  Jeannie was rather a self-conscious woman, not showy in her life, but
quick in sympathy, loyal and earnest, full of live for the beautiful, beautiful herself, she loved the best, in material and
spiritual things.  Only a girl, in years, but who shall estimate or measure the scope of her life in influence upon the
stricken home from which she has flown like the eagle, mounting higher and higher until, all at once we realized she is not
with us, she has gone to be with God.  To realize the fullness of his promises, leaving behind her the wonderful legacies of
wifehood and motherhood, beautifully lived - her own life made beautiful by suffering, until the perfume therefrom pervades
the atmosphere wherein her life was lived, and she has but gone on, out of sight, for a time, as if into another room, with
Him face to face."  She was buried in Ames Chapel Cemetery, Orange County, IN.

County, IN.  He appeared on the census in 1880 in Jackson Township, Orange County, IN.  He appeared on the census in
1900 in French Lick Township, Orange County, IN.  He appeared on the census in 1910 in French Lick Township, Orange
County, IN.  It lists Charles, Emma, Chester, and Clarence.  It lists his occupation as barber shop.  He appeared on the

occupation is listed as Barber At Hotel.  He died on August 22, 1957 in French Lick, Orange County, IN.  He was buried in
Ames Chapel Cemetery, Orange County, IN.  James Edward Lane reported that Charles (known as Charley) 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.  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 Chevie 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."  Emma Dot Connell and Charles Edward Lane had the following
