General Notes: Husband - William Culbertson Lane, M.D.

---

He was a pupil of his father and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, in 1851. In the autumn of 1851 he went to Greensburg, Westmoreland County, and four years later to Mendon, Adams County, Illinois, at which place he met and was afterward married. Two years later he returned to Pennsylvania, and practiced his profession in his native county.
He was surgeon in the One Hundred and Twenty-second Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, during the war of the Rebellion, and afterward served as surgeon of the board of enrollment of the Sixteenth District of Pennsylvania the last year of the war. In politics he was Republican.

He was a writer of wonderful facility, rapidity and accuracy, and was a conversationalist of exquisite ease, fluency and magnetism. Thoroughly educated in his profession, well read in the classics, and in modern history and literature, absolutely honest and painfully scrupulous, loving and trusting, as if guile and villainy were phantasies of the "Inferno."
He won special distinction as local historian of his native county.

Of the eight children born to the Doctor and wife, five were living in 1887.
