The funeral of Mr. Charla "a Lane took place

The funeral of Mr.. Charles Lane took place
from his late home in Madison at half past
two Sunday AFTERNOON. Owing to the severe
storm many of the friends were unable to be
present. The services were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Moore of North Madison. Mr.. and
Mrs. Elliott Field, Mrs. George Champion
and Mr.. Albert Champion of the Madison
Congregational church choir rendered very
effectively ''It Is Well With My SOUL" and
"Till We Meet Again" Mr.. Moore took as
the subject of his remark the last verse of
the fourth chapter of second Corinthians.
In the course of his discourse he compared
the life of man to ship, and said that q
ship was built on land but each part was
formed not with reference to its present sur
roundings, bat for its usefulness and power
of endurance on tho sea. So the life Of man
is formed and fitted by its temporal exis.
tence for the "Unseen and Spiritual"
The remains repossd in handsome casket
bearing the inscription "Charlss Lane, age
SO years." A handsome wreath surrounded
the plate, bearing in immortelles the word
Gather" A shsaf of wheat, symbolical of
a ripened life, rested on the foot of the
casket. At the close of the services at the
house the remains were taken to the cemetery
at South West district for interment.
The pallbearers were: Deacon Henry Hill,
Samuel Redfeld and Amos Norton Of North
Madison, and Messrs. Payson Tucker, Edwin
Munger and Ellsworth Stannara of Madison.
The deceased was born in Killingworth
his home up to within few years of his
death. In 1847 he married Miss
Harriet Parmelee also of Killingworsh who,
with two daughters, she elder, Mrs. Jennie,
wife of Sanford Stone, of the firm of Stone
& Norton, of Now Haven, and Miss Leora
Lane, survive him. One daughter, Elsietta,
lived to be only three years of age. He also
and Miss Maud Stone, of New Haven. Two
years ago last February Mr.. Lane was
taken with stroke of paralysis, and in
March of the same year received . second
stroke. He and his wife were then
living in North Madison, but in
April they moved to the place
known as the Quicker place. in East River.
Twice during the two years Mr.. Lane visited
his daughter In New Haven and laat New
Dor, Mr.. Payson Tucker. Aside from this,
he has lived very quietly. Friday night,
September 9Th, he apparently suffered a
third stroke of paralysis, though the imme
>diats cause of his death is given as dropsy of
the heart. The last few days he was unable
to lie down at all, and Friday, October 4th,
as it was noticed that he was rapidly failing,
his daughter and Granddaughter were sua-
moned from New Haven and at 12:45, sur
rounded by those whom he held dear on
earth, his spirit took its fight,
his last words as he looked at
each being, "Mest me in heaven" and
"Good-by, till We meet again." Mr.. Lane
possessed q remarkable memory and was
great reader. No great event connected with
A. e 18th nfr{o
escaped his notice, and the exact dates,
names of persons and places, were at his
command. Dates of birth, marriage and
death of anyone he had ever known were
never forgotten. In the short time he has
been in East River he has made many friends,
whose sympathies are extended to the be-
reaved family.

There the services were conducted by the
Rev. @. A. Dinsmore. After reading from
the scriptures the pastor, in few well
chosen words, spoke of the life and oharac-
ter of the deceased, how the met sorrows
she was called upon to bear were such with
true Christian fortitude and resignation, and
how she died strong in the faith and hope of
everlasting life with her Savior. The choir,
under the direction of Mr.. @. P. Augur, then
sang "Abide with Me-" For many years
both Mrs. Ives and her husband had been
members of the choir and the singing of her
favorite hymn WAS peculiarly appropriate
and touching. After an opportunity had
been given to those present to view the re-
