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."

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: The spelling of names in source documents is often incorrect, with the name being spelled the way the writer thought it sounded. The spelling could be different in every document. In most cases the name is reported in this document as it was written, but some gross misspellings have been corrected.

3. Direct Ancestral Line: The direct ancestors of Robert Edward Lane are highlighted in blue.
