Obituary
F. Lane-1914
After Several Years of Illness Prominent Richland County Man Passes Away The community was grieved to learn last Saturday of the death of H. F. Lane, which occurred at the farm home shortly before noon of that day. Mr. Lane had been a sufferer for a number of years from throat trouble and complications the result of service and exposure during the civil war. Of late years this trouble has become more serious and he was a great sufferer most of the time.
The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, first a brief service at the home and then at Fairview cemetery where interment was made and to where the remains of other members of the family, who were buried in the private burying ground on the Lane farm, are soon to be removed.
Rev. Sewrey officiated and the following acted as pallbearers: W. E. Purcell, C. D. Rittenhouse, G. J. Johnson, Math Braun, N. Klein and Chas. Glander. Dozens of automobiles carried a large number of the friends of the family out to the Lane home for the funeral services and the members of the G. A. R. Post and the Relief Corps attended on a body. A great many very beautiful and costly floral tributes were sent out by friends and the societies to which Mrs. Lanes belongs.
