I've "rescued" an old photograph of Olga LANE which was taken at the P.
Datesman Studio in Redding, California. The photograph is dated Aug 20,
1895 and indicates that Olga is five years old at the time it was taken.
The photograph appears to have been given to "Johnie CATES" as that name
also appears on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was
able to locate the following information regarding Olga and her family in
census records:
1900 census of Sacramento River Township, CA:
Lemuel M. LANE, age 50, born Apr ?, a widower, born IL, parents born TN/IL,
a Lumberman
William E. LANE, son, age 20, born Jan 1880, born KS, parents born IL/MO, an
Engineer
Robert A. LANE, son, age 17, born Sept 1882, born AR, parents born IL/MO, a
Sawmill Laborer
Joey P. LANE, son, age 13, born Jan 1887, born AR, parents born IL/MO, at
School
Minerva O. LANE, dau, age 9, born Aug 1880, born CA, parents born IL/MO
Annie B. CATES, servant, age 26, born Jan 1874, born CA, parents born MO, a
Housekeeper
I am hoping to locate someone from this LANE family so that this wonderful
old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of
this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
