Jackson Argus – Week of January 14, 1897
Mrs. M. J. Lane

Mrs. M. L. Lane died at her home in Jasper County last week after an illness of
only a few days.   She was buried at the family graveyard after an appropriate
and feeling service.  Concluded by the pastor of Bethel Baptist church where
Mrs. Lane had been a beloved and useful member for many years.

A gentleman said to The Argus this week:  Mrs. Lane has been married twice, Mrs.
McKinley of Jackson being the only child by the first marriage.   Afterwards she
was married to Major Augustus Lane who died about twelve years ago.  They were
an ideal husband and wife and from my intimate knowledge of them I can
truthfully say I never knew  two more loveable characters.

Too much cannot be said in praise of Mrs. Lane – noble woman! Said Mr. R. L.
Daughtry.

Mrs. Lane had many friends in this county who are made sad indeed by the
announcement of her death.

Six children blessed Mrs. Lane last marriage.   Two of her sons who are well and
favorably known in Jackson are Col. Tom Lane of Americus and Col. Major Lane of
Macon, each of whom are winning bright laurels in the practice of law and is
reflecting in their lives those humble qualities of heart when distinguished
their sainted mother.

 Mrs. Lane would have celebrated her 66th birthday this week by gathering
together her children in a happy reunion.  But Providence interred.
