Aged Resident of Newton Township Has Passed Away.

John Lane, about 85 years of age, father of Trustee Ed Lane, of Newton township, died this Thursday morning at his home northwest of this city. He had been falling for a long time, the Infirmities of age gradually weighing him down. Arrangements for his funeral have not been completed, but it will probably take place from St. Augustine’s Catholic church in this City Friday or Saturday morning. Father Augustine Seifert, for so many years president of St. Joseph’s College, is now at Maria Stein, Ohio, where he has a retreat position in the sisters’ institute. Father Benedict Boebner, of .Sedalia, Mo., visited Father Christian Daniel and the college yesterday. In the latter nineties he was the president of St. Joseph’s College for two or three years, during a time when Father Seifert’s health failed and he was absent for the purpose of recuperation. Father Boebner was very much pleased with the splendid growth of the institution with which he had served several years ago. 55
