Mrs. Sarah A. Lane

Mrs. Sarah Ann Lane departed this life at her home in Cleveland, Iowa, on Saturday evening, April 14, 1906, at 5:30 o'clock, at the age of 63 year. Death came suddenly and was a great shock to her family and friends. She had been in ill health for some time, suffering with Bright's disease which it is thought caused apoplexy of the brain.

She retired on Friday evening in her usual health and a few hours later her husband found that she was in serious condition and was speechless. Her children were immediately summoned to her beside and on Saturday evening she passed away. The remains were brought to Chariton on No. 10 Monday morning and at 10:30 o'clock funeral services conducted by Rev. M.S. Clark were held at the Baptist church after which the body was placed in the vault in the Chariton Cemetery. As soon as the roads are in good condition the remains will be taken to Wayne county and interred in the cemetery near Sharon church.

Deceased was born in Franklin County, Ohio on Feb. 14, 1837. She was married there about 52 years ago to Jas. A. Lane who survives her. They were the parents of twelve children, ten of whom are living and all but one daughter were present at the last sad rites. About half of her life was spent in northern Wayne county, this state, but a few years age the family moved to Cleveland. She has been a member of the Baptist church for many years and had lived a faithful, Christian life. She was devoted to her family and friends and was beloved by all who knew her. Those who morn her death have the deepest sympathy of the community.
