The Verden News
January 13, 1928



The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack McLane, who reside about six miles west of 
Verden was made very sad Sunday, when their son Charles accidentally 
killed himself with a gun. It was reported to us that he and a sister 
were riding home together when Charles saw some birds he said he was 
going to shoot, and in getting the gun it discharged, killing him 
instantly.

Charles Patrick McLane was born January 11, 1900 and departed this life 
January 8, 1928, reaching the age of 27 years, 11 months and 27 days. 
The funeral was held here at the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon with 
Rev. Taylor in charge of the funeral services.

There was a large crowd in attendance and a very beautiful floral 
offering displayed. Charles was one of Verdens popular young men among 
the young people, one of his boy friends sang a beautiful solo at the 
funeral service. He leaves to mourn his departure, his mother and 
father, three sisters and two brothers, a host of relatives and friends.
