                     FRANKLIN LANE, M. D.

                   Communicated by Mr. John A. Lane.

      Dr. Franklin Lane was born in Exeter, N. H. on December 6, 1822. He was
educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and at Bowdoin College. He studied medicine
at Bellevue College, N. Y, and at the Berkshire Medical School, Pittsfield,
Mass., graduating in 1846.

      In 1855 he went to Baltimore, Md., where he practiced his profession with
marked success. He was connected with one of the largest hospitals in Baltimore
for nine years. He went from Baltimore to Vineland in 1869, hoping by the change
to restore his failing health. The genial climate of Vineland had the desired
effect upon him and in a short time his health was quite restored.

      Dr. Lane had marked literary ability, and was a graceful and logical
writer. He was a frequent contributor to the medical journals, and in the
earlier part of his professional career he delivered several courses of lectures
on Physiology, Hygiene and kindred subjects.

      In Vineland he obtained a large practice and made many warm friends. He
was endeared to many to whom he ministered by his gentle and kindly spirit. He
was ever more than a professional attendant for he felt a warm personal interest
in all his patients. He gave especial care and attention to the needs of the
suffering poor, to whom he was always a true friend.

      In 1889 he had a stroke of paralysis, which compelled his retirement from
active practice. He removed with his family in 1891 to East Orange, N. J., where
he resided until his death which took place July 24th, 1893.

      East Orange, New Jersey.
