Mrs. Susanna Lane passed away last Sunday, March 29, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Eva Mulford, of this city. At her death she was 71 years, 9 months and 11 days old, and had been a resident of Blair for the past 65 years.

She was married to Linze Stricklett on January 10, 1888. The husband passed on in 1903, and on October 24, 1913 she was remarried to David Lane, and they lived together until 1930 when he too passed on.
