MERRILL ITEMS:
Record,14th:

Last Sunday morning while attempting to yard some hogs, Wm. H. Lane of
Stanton township dropped dead from heart disease. A few minutes before his
wife had called him to breakfast when he told her he was not through and
would come in a minute. But after waiting some time she called again and
getting no answer, she went out and found her husband lying dead by his corn
cribs. It is supposed that over-exertion in chasing the hogs caused instant
death from heart failure. Mr. Lane who had lived in this county since
boyhood was 32 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. His sudden
demise has moved the whole community where he was much respected as a
neighbor, and Mrs. Lane has the deepest sympathy of all, in her sore
bereavement. The funeral services were conducted at the house on Monday
afternoon, by Rev. Wm. Semple, and then the remains were taken to the LeMars
cemetery, followed by a large cortege.
