To Mr. and Mrs. Shane were born thirteen children, two of whom died in childhood, and the oldest daughter in her young womanhood.
Mr. Shane is survived by his wife and ten children. Osmund, David, William, Charles, Anna, Mary, Joseph, Benjamin, Ensley and Eugene. He is also survived by four brothers and two sisters.
Mr. Shane came from a family of early pioneers, being one of the oldest settlers. Inmured to the hardships and privations of early times, he manifested by the prosperity that crowned his efforts in acquiring first place in all that goes to make for honesty, uprightness and a well spent life.
He, together with his wife, in early life united with the Prospect Presbyterian Church of Dunalp, and when he moved to his late home, he transferred his membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church of Lawn Ridge, to which he remained a member till he passed from life.
