**********************************************************************

Albert Lane, M. D., a practicing physician and druggist of Sullivan,
Franklin Co., Mo., is a native of Stafford County, Va., and was born
August 16, 1838.  He is the fifth of nine children, six sons and three
daughters, born to Fountain H. and Virginia (Bridges) Lane.  He was
reared and schooled in his native country until fourteen years of age,
when he moved with his parents to Franklin County, Mo., and settled on
a farm of 220 acres on Bucklick and Boeuf Creeks, where, with his 
father and brothers, he followed agricultural pursuits for some time.
In 1861 he began the study of medicine under Drs. J. S. Hiatt, H. F.
Gilbert and D. Jones; he studied three years and then entered the
college in St. Louis, where he graduated, and subsequently engaged in
practice in Sullivan, Franklin Co., Mo., in partnership with Dr. J.
Gregory.  His means were very limited, but patience, perseverance,
close attention to his professional duties, and study, have gained
for him a large patronage and enviable reputation.  He married Miss
Drusilla J., only daughter of Jacob Clark, a Presbyterian minister.
They have had five children, viz.: Fountain (deceased in infancy),
Ruth A., Meredith B., Jesse A. and Freddie (deceased).  Prior to his
marriage Dr. Lane dissolved partnership with Dr. Gregory, and has
since been alone in his practice; he owns about 500 acres of land,
and carries a stock of drugs worth about $500.  He is a member of the
A. O. U. W. and a stanch Democrat.  Mrs. Lane is a member of the 
Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
