Obituary	William Lane Our people were shocked last Saturday to learn that William Lane, who recently came here on a visit with his wife and son, had died suddenly on Lake Onawa. The party left Dexter last week Tuesday for Lake Onawa to meet Dr. George Ricker of Washington, an old friend. They arrived there safely and on Friday Mr. Lane his son were out boating on the lake. Mr. Lane was paddling while his son was rowing. Noticing his father did not keep stroke with his paddle his son looked up and saw him fall toward the side of the boat. He sprang to his side and caught him but he breathed but twice. The remains were taken to Greenville and from there brought here by train Saturday afternoon on the 1.35 train where they were taken in charge by undertaker Wyman. Delegations from Plymouth lodge and H. F. Safford Post were at the station to escort the remains. Mr. Lane was a former resident of Dexter and at that time was a member of the two orders mentioned. He was a member of the 17th Maine in the civil war and lived in Dexter for many years, going from here to California and then to British Columbia. His age was 66 years. The funeral was held in the Baptist church Sunday afternoon under the auspices of Plymouth lodge and H. F. Safford Post. Rev. E. C. Whittemore of Waterville, an old friend and neighbor, officiated. There was a large attendance. Burial was in Mount Pleasant cemetery. The afflicted family have the sympathy of our people generally.
