Cora Ann (Miller) Lane 1873-1958

Mrs. George W. Lane, Sr. Succumbed At Hospital Here, Funeral Yesterday

Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon in the First Baptist Church for Mrs. George W. Lane, Sr., who passed away Monday at Waynesville General Hospital, where she had been a patient for the past ten days.

Mrs. Lane was a member of a pioneer Pulaski County family, having been born at Big Piney, Missouri, almost eighty-five years ago. She had spent her entire life in this county except for a few years she resided in Jefferson City when her husband, the late George W. Lane, Sr., was a representative of Pulaski County in the Missouri House of Representatives. Mr. Lane passed away about two years ago.

Mrs. Lane was one of the best loved ladies of this county and by her gracious and friendly attitude made friends wherever she went. The large crowd which attended the services attested to the respect and love of her host of friends. She had been a member of the First Baptist Church for many years and was also a member of the Order of Eastern Star.

The Rev. John L. Hicks, who had at one time been her pastor and who was a lifetime friend of the family, made a few remarks at the services. The Rev. B.R. Tatom delivered the funeral services, which was followed by a short funeral service by members of the Order of Eastern Star. The pallbearers were Ewell Johnson, Sterling Rollins, James Laughlin, Byron Eldredge, Leslie A. Smith, and LeClair Long.

(Handwritten note: Born 16 March, 1873 Died 3 March, 1958)
