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.

8. | Shane, David was born on 10 Oct 1809 in the former Berkeley Springs in Berkeley County, Virginia;, Berkeley Springs, Morgan, West Virginia, USA (son of Shane, James and Shrode, Catherine); died on 4 Sep 1885 in Lawn Ridge-a hamlet near Speer, Illinois, Marshall, Illinois, USA; was buried . Notes:
Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office Records; Washington D.C., ; Federal Land Patents, State Volumes records David Shane of Peoria County purchased 150 1/16 acres at the SW 1/4 Section 6 Township 10 north of the baseline of Range Six East of the 4th PM,
In 1865, David Shane has a boy and a girl under 10; a boy and a girl from 10 to 19;
PLACE NOTES: In 1772, the springs were part of the newly formed Berkeley County, named after its colonial governor, Norborne Berkeley. The waters became known as Berkeley Springs because the existing protocol was to name springs after the colonial Virginia county in which they were located. Previously, the area had been called Warm Springs and Medicinal Springs among other names.
Bath became known permanently to the world as Berkeley Springs in 1802 when the Virginia postal system was established in the new nation, and there already was a Bath, Virginia, in Bath County.
In 1861, many residents of Virginia were opposed to Virginia's secession from the United States, some calling the act of secession treasonous. Following the Wheeling Conventions of 1861, a referendum was held in 41 mostly northwestern Virginia counties on whether to secede from Virginia and seek admission to the United States as a new state. An overwhelming majority of voters in these counties voted in favor of the proposal. The United States admitted the State of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. Berkeley Springs remained the conventional name used for the town. Its sister city is Bath, England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Springs,_West_Virginia; accessed 12 Nov 2022
