in his home a dining~ table with an inlaid top, a beautiful and valuable 
piece of furniture, all of which he has made in his spare time. In 1897 
he came to St. Michael, where, with the exception of a term spent in the 
agricultural department of the University of Minnesota, he has since 
remained, winning wide favor among the patrons and among the general 
public, lie is one of the active "boosters" in the St. Michael Commercial 
club, and he hats done good service on the village council, a position in 
which he is now serving. Mr. Fane married Lillie Hoehstine, a daughter of 
Adam Hoehstine, of Hennepin county. The grandparents were pioneers, having 
come from Germany to Hennepin county in the early days. Mr. and Mrs. Faue 
have five children, Irene, Mildred, Wilford, Hattie and Lambert.
