Mrs. Susan Lane
Passes to Her Reward
Was One of This CIty's Very Best
Women and Was Widely
Known and Loved

Mrs. Susan Ratliff Lane, aged 90
years, February last, passed from
earth TO her eternal home Wednes-
day morning at 8 o'clock. Mrs.
lane was the wife Of James G. Lane,
-<who preceded her to the grave Il
years ago. They we're natives OF
Bath county and removed to this
county 35 years ago.
Mrs. Lane is survived by three
sons, r. II. Lane, of Rosenberg,
Texas; J. w. Lane, Owingsville, and
Fl. T.. Lane, Of this city, and seven
daughters, Misses Pearl, Lula, Fam
ME, Mrs. Ed. William and Mrs. Fife

late home on Sycamore street Fri
day afternoon at / o'clock conduct
ed by her pastor. Elder p. g. Les
ter, of West Virginia, after which
remains will be taken to Sharpsburg

terry.
The subject of this notice, one of
Gods elects, has long fingered on
the brink between earth and heaven,
and though frail, just step to the
divide. She patiently waited and
doubtless longed for the time for alb
sence in the flesh and the everlast-
ing with Him who long ago pre-
pared home for His own. Fer
sixty years and more she has been
a faithful member of Old Baptist
church and very frequently her home
has been a place of worship for this
flock 1t was her joy to listen to the
way of the cross and to join with
the redeemed in songs of praise. She
loved the old-time melodies, the songs
our mothers sang and their senti-
ment was hers, "Jesus lover of my
SOUL" was source of inspiration;
like the disciples who waited down to
cid age, the hours became tedious and
tasteless, and she looked with JOY
for the time when ties broken here
would be reunited and with His fam
lily she would ever be.
BY the death of Mrs. Susan Ratliff
Lane,one of our very best women
passes, and while earth us poorer,
Heaven is richer by her going.
