LANE

    Mr. Joseph Lane, Sr., Luther Melvin Lane, Joseph Lane, Jr., Charles W. Lane
all came from Portland, Maine, in 1837. Mr. Joseph Jane, Sr., came to fulfill a
contract with one Col. Rockwell, to erect his beautiful home, which is now
occupied by O. M. Ennis. After the completion of this contract, they built the
grand old edifice of learning known as Oglethorpe University. After the
completion of this, Joseph Lane, Jr., surviving partner, built many beautiful
homes and business houses in Milledgeville.

    Charles Lane became a graduate of Oglethorpe University and soon thereafter
was elected to the chair of mathematics in that institution. After a number of
years he was admitted to the bar. After this, he studied for the ministry and
became duly ordained as pastor of the Milledgeville Presbyterian Church, which
he served for several years. He then received a call from the church at
Greensboro, Georgia, which he accepted. After several years he was called back
to the church at Milledgeville. He was greatly beloved by all his congregations.
His longest pastorate was in Athens, Ga., where one third of his life was spent
At the age of seventy-three years and six months the end came, and as he had
always desired, he "died in harness." His last word, "beautiful," was spoken on
Friday afternoon, and as the sun went down on Sunday afternoon he was laid to
rest in the beautiful cemetery of Athens, beside his loved ones who had gone
before. His only surviving daughter, Miss Louie Lane, still lives in Athens and
teaches in the mission school.

    Edward P. Lane, only surviving son of Joseph Lane, Jr., has been tax
receiver of Baldwin County, for fourteen years. In 1885, he was married to Miss
Willie Gause. They, their two children, Edward Joseph Lane and Carolyn Frances
Lane, and sister, Miss Mary Lane, are still living at the Lane place.
