Mrs. Jane Lane, a well known and highly respected lady, died at 6:20 o’clock Tuesday evening at the family residence, 1210 Vigo street. While Mrs. Lane had been in poor health for the past two weeks, and had been considered seriously ill for several days, her death, which was due to heart trouble, came rather unexpectedly.
The deceased was born at Nashville, Tenn., and was aged seventy-nine years, five months and twenty-nine days. She was twice married, her first husband Ephriam Jordan, having died a number of years ago. Later she was united in marriage to Isaac Lane, who also preceded her to the grave. She is survived by one son by her first husband, Jesse C. Jordan, of this city, and by two daughters by her second husband, they being Mrs. Charles Padarmel, of Iona, this county, and Mrs. Frank [illegible], of this city. She is also survived by thirteen grandchildren and four great grand children [sic].
The deceased, during the greater part of her life, resided in the West Salem vicinity, having moved to this city several years ago. She was a life-long and faithful member of the Bethany Presbyterian church. Arrangements for the funeral will not be completed until word has been received from absent relatives. The internment, will, in all probability, take place at West Salem.
