Obituary.

From the Harbor Springs Craphic:-
Irving III. Lane was born at Paw Paw,
December %, ls40, and died at his home
in Harbor Springs, November %, 1900.
He remained on the home farm with his
parents until the breaking out OF the re-
bellion, when he enlisted in the 18th
the war and was menber of Sherman S
army in hegrand march from ATLANTA
to the sea-" Returning to his native
town after his discharge, he married
Miss Flora Il. Powell of Lansing, Mich,
May /, 1867. For a few years they re-
mained in Paw Paw, but removed to
Sawyer, Berrien county, March, 1873,
where he engaged in farming until they
removed To Harbor Springs in October,
1890.
For several years he engaged in the
lumber business, owning and operating
steam saw-mill a few miles northeast
of this village. Disposing of this he en-
gagged in the livery business, which he
continued until his sudden death from
pneumonia. No children ever came to
bless their union or brighten their pleas
ant home, but peace and love were ever
present with them and never "A ripple
disturbed the perfect harmony of their
domestic relations. MIR. Lane was an
honest man, "the noblest work of God, "
model husband, IA kind and generous
neghbor, useful and highly respected
citizen, beloved by all who knew him.
He was never member of any church,
but was one of Gods noblemen who
lived his religion every day, following the
one commandment of the Savior that
ye love one another"
The funeral obsequies were held at the
Presby yterian church, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. VIM. Cochran, and the re-
mains were taken to his childhood's home
at Paw Paw for interment by his brother
in-law, Mr.. j. W. Free, whose home is
in that village. Relatives who attended
the obsequies from abroad were Mr.. and
Mrs.IJ w. Free of Paw Paw, w. f.. Holt
of EAllevue, Mrs. j. n. Bush of Lansing
and }. G. Sherman of Vermontvlle, and
the large number of sympathizing friends
who rendered their assistance and were
present at the funeral showed the re-
spect in which he was held by the com
munity.
