CHARLIE LANE DEAD.

Prominent Young School Teacher Succumbs to Dread Pneumonia. One of the most sudden deaths from disease that ever occurred in Jasper ecunty was that of Charlie Lane, eon of Joseph Lane of Newton tp., who died at the home of Elias Arnold in Barkley township, where he was teaching school, last Sunday morning at 7:30 o’clock. The young man had taught his school the Monday previous to his death, but had not felt well that day. Monday night he was taken down sick with pnenmonia, and the disease developed very fast. Two physicians were at his side a part of the time and a trained nurse was secured from Chicago Saturday. All that medical skill and nursing could do was done for him, but to no avail. Early Sunday morning his condition became so very alarming that his friends were sent for, and soon after day had dawned he breathed his last. The funeral was held Thursday forenoon from St. Augustine’s Catholic church in this city, and was largely attended, in fact one of the largest funerals ever held here. A great many of the teachers of the county were also in attemdance. Interment was made in Mt. Calvary cemetery south of town. Charlie was about 21 years and 6 months of age, and was very popular among his associates. This was his first term of school, and he was well liked in the community in which he taught, and the tears of his pupils and the patrons of the school mingle with those of the sorrowing parents and family. A CARD.
