The Portland Observe, Thursday, May 4, 1922

With the death of Lyman G. Crane, which occurred at his home in this village, 
Saturday, Portland again loses another one of its aged pioneer farmers who 
have lived to see this country grow from a wilderness into one of the garden 
spots of the state.

Mr. Crane was born in Saginaw county in 1842 and when a young man married 
Sarah Webster at Pontiac, shortly after coming to Portland, locating on the 
place now known as the Chas. Frost farm.  He later purchased a farm in Lyons 
township where he resided for over 40 years, when he retired from farming, 
selling the property to his son-in-law, and located in Portland.

In 1908 his wife passed away and later he was married to Alice Cobb of 
Milwaukee, who with six daughters and one son by his first wife survive him.  
They are Mrs. Loren Wandel, Mrs. George Baker and Mrs. Norah Samain of Ionia, 
Mrs. Horace Cooper of Danby, Mrs. Ellis Dorin of Sebewa, Mrs. Frank Cooper of 
Lyons and Lyman Crane of Portland.  A sister, Mrs. Nathan Knight of Ithaca, 
who arrived in Portland shortly before his death also survives.

The funeral was held from the residence Tuesday afternoon, in charge of Rev. 
Floyd Blewfield.  Interment was made in Portland cemetery.
