St. Clair County Obits

MARY E. JORDAN LANE

DIED -- At the home of her daughter in this city on August 27, 1895, Mrs. Mary Lane. She was born May 8, 1816 and was married to James A. Lane, July 16, 1833 in Jackson County, Ohio, to which union there were born nine children who mourn her. In 1870, her husband concluded to move to Missouri and settled in St. Clair Co. on a farm near Lowry City, where they continually lived until 24 of Nov. 1883, when here Husband was called to the home on high, leaving her with 6 children to mourn his departure. She shortly afterward removed to Lowry to make her home until God and his infinite wisdom see fit to call her home. When many years of age, she united in the Christian Church and remained a faithful and consistant member until her death.

Her remains were laid tenderly to rest in the Breon Cemetery. The last Service was performed by Rev. Newton. In all of her great affliction, she ever looked to God for strength and mercy and death found her ready to obey its call. The family has our sympathy in this, their dark hour of trial.
