         FRED. LANE, lumber dealer, Alma, was born in Germany, Jan.
       15, 1833. He came to America in 1852, and his first permanent 
       settlement was in Buffalo City, where he erected a steam saw 
       mill. In 1865, he removed to Alma, where he built another 
       extensive mill, and still continues in the lumber business. 
       His mill has the capacity - 25,000 feet per day. He employs 
       about twenty-five men. He has been twice married, first to 
       JULIA HORST, a native of Germany. They had five children, 
       three of whom are now living - LAURA, MATILDA and JULIA. 
       His second wife was MARGARET MASON, a native of Kentucky; 
       they have five children - FREDERICK, EDDIE, WILLIAM, ADOLPH 
       and CHARLES.
