OBITUARY Wilford Monroe Lane, son of Martin V. and Martha Shively Lane, was born June 15, 1867 at New Prospect, Ind. and died April 10, 1932, aged 64 years, 9 months and 25 days. He was married to Lou Olive Bowman on May 1, 1901, and to this union was born three sons, Walter of Jackson, Miss., Charles C. of French Lick and Marion, who died when seven years of age. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Leta Jackson of Paoli, Mrs. Mellie Livengood of French Lick and five brothers, Jordan of Kansas City, Kan., Oliver of Paoli, Charles E. of French Lick and Philip S. and Perry C. of West Baden. He also leaves one grandson, Norman Gary Lane and a host of other relatives and friends whose devotion was unexcelled in his few weeks of suffering. His faith and hope centered around the dear Redeemer, who 'By the grace of God tasted death for every man' and with the full assurance that the ransom paid on Calvary's cross will in God's due time cause all the dead again to live, for He 'tasted death for every man to be testified in due time.' He was united with the Christian Church at Antioch when 21 years of age, and has remained a member of that church. He has ever been an influence for good in the community in which he lived, his circle of friends being limited only by the number of his acquaintances. He was past Noble Grand of the West Baden Lodge of Odd Fellows and was also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. ===========================================================================
