Biographical History of Cherokee County, Iowa
W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 478]

    H. M. LANE is one of the early settlers of Cherokee County, settling
    there in 1869.  He was born in Wayne County, Indiana, March 15, 1849,
    and is a son of J. A. LANE, Esq.  When he was seven years old his
    parents removed to Clayton County, Iowa, and there he grew to manhood.
    He was reared to the occupation of farming, and obtained his education
    in the common schools.  He did not leave the parental roof until his
    marriage, which occurred September 8, 1872, when he was united to Miss
    SARAH DUBES, a daughter of ELIAS DUBES, a prominent citizen of the
    township.  Mr. LANE took a homestead on section 4, Silver Township,
    on which he lived eight years.  He then removed to his present farm,
    which contains eighty acres of as rich land as can be found in the
    county.  There is a good house, buildings for stock and grain, a
    grove and an orchard, and many indications of thrift and wise manage-
    ment.  Mr. LANE devotes himself to farming and stock-raising, and his
    efforts have been rewarded with uniform success.  Mr. and Mrs. LANE
    have had eight children: JAMES WILBUR, ELEN, CORA BELLE, CLARA OLIVE,
    HARRIETT, WILLIS ELIAS, HOWARD and FLORENCE ELSIE.  Mr. LANE is an
    active member of the Baptist Church.  Politically he affiliates with
    the Republican Party.  He has served his township as constable and
    as a member of the School Board.  He is ever ready to lend a helping
    hand to advance the best interests of the community in which he lives.
