WILLIAM B. LANE

St. Clair Republican
13 December 1923
William B. Lane, born in 1893, died December 5, 1923, aged 30 years. He was a son of Harve and Rachel Lane. He leaves father, mother, two brothers and three sisters to mourn their loss, but it is his eternal gain. Three sisters preceded him to the spirit world. William was a splendid young man, always attending strictly to his own business. He was Just Willie every day of his life. He suffered much near the close of his life, having been operated on for appendicitis. This, with tuberculosis ended his life. He suffered much just at the last.

Funeral services were conducted by Eld. T.J. Simmons at William's request sometime before he was called away.

Willie saw a hand you could not see
Which beckoned him away
He heard a voice you could not hear
It did not let him stay.
