W. Stanford Lane is a native of Arkansas, having been born and
reared in the State which has always been his home. His father, W. Q.
Lane, was born in Tennessee, and moved to this State about 1832. His
mother, Caroline (Harris) Lane, was a native of South Carolina. Of this
union, seven children were the issue, and the four survivors are all
residents of Craighead County. The father was an honest, hard working
farmer, who achieved success through earnest endeavor. He was a worthy
member of the Masonic order. Stanford Lane is one of the enterprising
farmers of Craighead County, and owns 700 acres of land, of which about
100 acres are well improved. By patient toil and industry he has made his
farm one of the best in the county. He was united in marriage with Elnora
Carter, a native of Tennessee, who came with her father to this State in
1850. This union has been blessed with three children: Jarvis Q., Harry
B. and Daisy E. Mrs. Lane is a devoted wife and mother, a zealous
Christian, and a member of the ethodist Church. Mr. Lane is a stanch
Democrat, but prefers rather to serve his party than receive official
favors. It may be truly [p.340] said of him that he is one of the
progressive citizens of the county.
