Hanford Morning Journal January 27, 1920
Oliver P. Lane Laid To Rest
Under the auspices of Welcome Lodge of Masons, of Lemoore, of which he was a 
member, and with old-soldier comrades attending as pallbearers, the remains of 
Oliver Perry Lane, pioneer Kings countian who passed away quite suddenly at 
his home Sunday morning, were laid to rest in the family plot in Hanford 
cemetery yesterday afternoon. Mr. Lane's death at his home at 502 West Cameron 
street shortly before 11 o'clock came as a sudden shock to a large circle of 
friends. He had not been in the best of health for some months, but his 
condition was not considered serious until an attack of influenza which he 
suffered within the last week developed complications of an acute nature. O.P. 
Lane was born near Carthage, Illinois, May 7, 1848, and passed his boyhood 
there. In 1873 he and Miss Nancy J. Mott were united in marriage and a year 
later they came to California, settling first in San Joaquin county where 
there lived for four years. They moved then, traveling by team, to Washington 
territory and after a residence in that state for about four years they 
returned to the Mississippi valley, to Missouri and after one year they moved 
back to California, settling south of Hanford, living there for eighteen 
years,  then coming to Hanford to make their home. Mr. Lane was a member of 
Company H, 118th Illinois Infantry during the civil war and fought throughout 
the three years it endured. He was a member of McPherson Post No. 51, G.A.R. 
of this city and a member of the Lemoore lodge of Masons. Besides the widow, 
Mrs. Nancy J. Lane,  seven daughters and one son survive. The daughters are 
Mrs. W.S. Hand, Mrs. Antone Leoni and Mrs. Olive Keiffer of Hanford, Mrs. 
Harry Hammond of Wasco, Mrs. P.C.J. Derkum of Bakersfield, Mrs. Ralph Hammond 
of Los Angeles and Miss Willa Lane of Hanford, and the son is Thomas J. Lane 
of Tyron, Pennsylvania. The funeral, directed by the People's Undertaking 
Association, was held at 2 o'clock yesterday. The remains were viewed at the 
home and taken to the family plot in Hanford cemetery where the Masons of 
Welcome Lodge said the burial ritual. Many friends of Hanford Lodge No. 279, 
F. and A.M. of Hanford were present also, and 
Francis Cunningham filled the office of master during the burial service. M.C. 
Carter and W.H. Sanborn, of Lemoore were chaplain  and marshal respectively. 
The pallbearers were members of McPherson Post No. 51 G.A.R. being W.H. 
Martin, Charls Adolph, C.H. Watson, J.F. Alvord, Samuel Westcott and C.M. 
Smith.
