New North, May 4, 1893⁷¹³⁵

W. A. Lane joined the Order of Macabees just before his fatal sickness began. He took out a $2,000 policy on his life. Friday John Lawson, recorder of the Local lodge, received a check for the two thousand, payable to Mrs. Lane. It is one of the clearest illustrations of what value a life policy is to a man, no matter if he be in the best of health. Mrs. Lane is left with a good home, and money besides, and all through the foresight of her husband in taking care of her future by securing the insurance. The Macabees will no doubt add greatly to their numbers on account of this prompt payment, and they should. They are a good lodge, and the insurance is cheaper than almost any other.

Death of W. A. Lane

As time passes by we are often called upon to chronicle the death of some unexpected one in the vigor of health and manhood. This time, a respected citizen in the person of W. A. Lane is taken. Feeling sick on Sunday of last week, said to a friend that he thought he would go home and doctor up a little. He was not obliged to take to his bed for a day or two, and indeed no one thought him in a dangerous condition until Friday, when he grew suddenly worse, and died Saturday morning about 2:30 o'clock.

Willard Adelbert Lane was born at Hixton, Jackson county, Wis., Sept. 23, 1866, and consequently was only 27 years of age at the time of his death. He moved to Clear Lake, Wis., in 1882, where he became acquainted with Miss Mamie Hill. They were married April 25, 1887, and came to Rhinelander Jun. 18, 1889, where he has resided until his death, March 11, 1893. A wife and four children are left to mourn the loss of a husband and father, and the sympathy of a host of friends and acquaintances here and elsewhere go out to them in this their great and terrible affliction—the loss of one who did everything he could to make them happy and contented at all times. He was the oldest son of G. W. and Laura Lane, of Ashland, who greatly mourn his death. They arrived before he died, but he was unconscious and did not recognize them.

Owing to the fact that three of his four children were sick in the house with scarlet fever at the time of his death it was impossible to hold a public funeral, but a large number of friends gathered outside and a short service was conducted by Rev. D. C. Savage, Sunday afternoon, when thay all followed the remains to the grave. The lodge of Macabees, of which order he was an honored member and held a high office, had charge of the funeral. Amid the tears and sorrows of surviving relatives and friends, his body, by the hands of sympathizing Brethren has been lowered to the narrow confines of the tomb. No words of adequate consolation can be offered to those who mourn.

New North, March 16, 1893⁷¹³⁷

Monday morning Bera, the two-year old daughter of Mrs. W. A. Lane, died of scarlet fever. The cup of sorrow of the bereaved mother is indeed full to overflowing.
