"Ladoga" Mrs. Preston Lane, who was hurt in an automobile accident Sunday, four miles W. of this city, died this morning at 9 o'clock at the home of her brother-in-law, Marcus Lane. She was 63 years old and is survived by her husband, two daugthers and one son. Mr. & Mrs. Lane were driving Sunday and had just crossed the Midland RR crossing, four miles W. of here, when in some way Mr. Lane lost control of his machine and they went over an embankment. Mrs. Lane's arm was broken in three places and she suffered from internal injuries, which caused her death. The body will be taken to her home in Judson where funeral services and interment will take place.

Note: I can not figure out who this gal is -- I am going to guess Preston Lane is Preston LAYNE but possibly could be Lane, since Marcus is not a name found in the LAYNE family.
