ELDERLY RESIDENT OF SOUTH NORFOLK FATALLY STRICKEN
James Thomas Lane, Aged 70, Dies While On Visit To Odd Fellows Hall

James Thomas Lane, aged 70, a lifelong resident of South Norfolk, widely 
known and esteemed, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Odd 
Fellows Hall.
Mr. Lane and J.H. Duncan, Paulet Lane, Fally Hall, Noah Howell, John Newbern 
and a Mr. Smith, were sitting in the upper hall talking, when Mr. Lane 
slumped in his chair, unconscious, and died about three minutes later.  He 
had been in failing health for several years, but was able to be about.
Mr. Lane was a native of the South Norfolk community when the spot on which 
the city stands was covered with fields and farmhouses.
His parents were William T. and Mrs. Martha Brinkley Lane.  Mrs. Lane died 
only a year ago at the age of 93.  They  also lived in the community for 
many years, and while his immediate family is composed of a son, five 
daughters, and a brother, more distant kinsmen living in the community 
number several hundred.
The son is Waverly Lane and the daughters are Mrs. Myrtle White, Mrs. Nellie 
VanVleek, Mrs. Bernetta Abbott, the latter of Union, N.J.; Mrs. Helen 
Overton and Mrs. Emma T. Fulford.  The brother is W.H. Lane, and there are 
several grandchildren.
Mr. Lane was in the retail drug business in South Norfolk for many years.  
He retired about 15 years ago.  He was a member of Oakdale Lodge 70, 
I.O.O.F., and of Thomas Jefferson Council 16, Order Fraternal Americans.
The body was taken to the funeral home of J.R. Williams, 1027 Chesapeake 
avenue, South Norfolk.  Funeral services will be announced later.
The home of Mr. Lane was at Chesapeake avenue and Guerrier street, where 
several of his children lived with him.  His wife died several years ago.
