ALLAN K. LANE, M.D., of Odon, Ind., was born in Washington County, Ind.,
January 25, 1843, and is one of five children born to Richard and Jane
(Martin) Lane, born in Tennessee and Kentucky, in 1811 and 1813 respectively.
The father was of French-Irish descent, and was a merchant, and a minister
of the Christian Church.  He was married in Kentucky, about 1837, and soon
after moved to Martinsburg, Ind., where he passed the remainder of his days.
He died in 1845.  The mother died in 1873.  Our subject's literary education
was acquired in the common schools.  At the age of seventeen, he commenced 
the study of medicine under Dr. James McPheeters, at Fredericksburg, Ind.,
with whom he remained about four years.  In 1865 he commenced practicing his
profession at Pitt's Point, Ky.  He remained there until 1869, when he came
to Daviess County, Ind., and located first in Raglesville, and then in Odon,
in 1876.  By a thorough knowledge of his profession, he has the entire con-
fidence of the people and is pronounced a first-class physician and surgeon.
He owns 200 acres of fine land on the outskirts of Odon, besides his fine
town property.  In politics he is conservative, but rather favors Republican
principles.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and I.O.O.F.  He has
been married three times.  He married his first wife, Angie Glenn, in 1863.
She was born in 1844 and bore three children: only two, Maud and Blanche,
are living.  Mrs. Lane died in 1875, and the next year he married Mary J.
Kelsey, born in 1853, and died in 1878.  To them was born one child, now
deceased.  Dr. Lane took for his third wife Sarah Kelsey, sister of his
second wife.  They have one child named Bradie.  The Doctor and his wife
are members of the Christian Church.
