The Ionia County News, Thursday, January 18, 1940


Funeral services for Edward Lane, 81, who died suddenly Saturday at his home 
north of here after a long period of ill health, were held Monday at 2:00 p.m. 
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Normington.  Rev. E. Humphrey officiated.  
Burial was in Lakeside.

Mr. Lane married Miss Savina Lawyer of Lowell December 5, 1878.  The couple 
came to Odessa township 55 years ago and settled on the farm now owned by his 
son, Roy.

The home founded was a short distance from South Cass, now known as Odessa 
Center, which was the first trading center in Odessa township.  He saw Bonanza, 
a trading center a mile and a half to the south, boom to a busy district when 
it was thought the Pere Marquette railroad would come that way, only to move 
further south to Lake Odessa, where the tracks were laid.  Now both original 
districts are entirely gone.

Mr. and Mrs. Lane celebrated their sixty-fist wedding anniversary December 5.  
Besides Mrs. Lane he is survived by one son, Roy, four grandchildren and 10 
great-grandchildren.
