JAMES HARVEY LANE

Lowry City Missouri – Harvey Lane Dies

Harvey Lane, old time resident on Weaubleau creek, five miles east of Osceola, died in his home there at 6 o'clock, Sunday evening, April 7, 1929, after an illness of several weeks. Death was due to Pneumonia.

Mr. Lane was born in Indiana, July 30, 1849, and would have been 80 years of age next July. He later removed to Illinois with his parents, and with them came to Missouri in 1870, his father, James A. Lane buying an 80-acre farm north of Lowry City, which he occupied until his death. L. Homes later purchased 40 acres of the farm, and T.R. North the other forty.

J.N. Bond of Lowry City, who came to Missouri in the spring of 1871, helped James Lane on his farm. Mr. Bond was the son-in-law of James Lane, having married the twin sister of Harvey Lane.

Following his marriage to Miss Rachel Penix, Harvey Lane moved to the old Penix homestead on Weaubleau creek, where he spent the remainder of his life with the exception of a short period spent in Osceola and another farm in the neighborhood. He had returned to the old home farm with his son, Clay, March 1.

His wife died in July 1927. Four children survive: Mrs. Nellie Pedigo of Mullinville, Ks.; Walter Lane, Long Beach, Calif.; Mrs. Della Rooney of Kansas City, and Clay Lane, with whom the father made his home.

Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. Burial was in the cemetery at Corbin.
