Obituary	James Lane James Lane, who suffered a shock nearly two years ago, passed away early Friday morning, Feb. 19. He had passed the three score and ten years of man's allotted time. For the past seven weeks he suffered much and welcomed death as a relief. Besides his brother, G. W. Lane, who with his wife cared for him to the last, he leaves two aged brothers in Bangor, Rev. Jotham Lane and Eliphlet, and two sisters in Massachu-setts, none of whom were able to be present at the funeral services at the home conducted by Rev. S. G. Spear the following Sunday. Mr. Lane died on the same farm (the old Sarchwell Lane place near the head of Lake Wassookeag) on which he was born. He worked for several years in Massachusetts, coming back about ten years ago, since which time he and his brother have built a new house on the old place. Mr. Lane was never married. The Eastern Gazette 3-4-1909, p.5 James W. Lane. Died in Dexter, Feb. 19, 1909, James W. Lane, aged 68 years. Mr. Lane was born in Dexter, the son of Sarchwell and Hannah (Thompson) Lane. Three brothers and two sisters survive him, Jotham B., now of Sangerville, but for many years a resident of Bangor; Eliphalet S. of Bangor, and. G. W. with whom he lived and who, with his wife, has so tenderly and faithfully cared for him during his long illness; Mrs. Rosanna Corliss and Mrs. Hannah Morrill of Lynn, Mass. Three brothers and two sisters have passed on before him. He was an honest, upright citizen, a kind neighbor and friend and his lose will be mourned by many friends. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition, fond of his home and reading, yet ready to welcome his friends and lend a helping hand. He will ever be remembered for his kindly and generous nature. It fell, to his lot to care for his widowed mother for several years, which he did with an untiring, and unselfish devotion. When she was called home and he was left alone, he went to Lynn, Mass., where sisters and other relatives resided. After living there a number of years, the attachment for the old home, where their boyhood days were spent, was so strong that he and his brother, G. W., returned, took up their abode and built a comfortable and substantial home. His friends regret that his life and health could not have been spared longer to enjoy living at the old home he loved so well and amid familiar scenes. The funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon, Feb. 21, conducted by Rev. S. G. Spear, pastor of the Universalist church. Mr. C. S. Hutchinson had charge of the arrangements.
