"Lam" Shaner was LANE Shaner. Probably the child listed as Joseph on Abraham
Shaner's 1880 census in Daviess Co., IN. Lane Shaner is on the 1900 Daviess County
census as a farm laborer in the household of a Rainy family. Lane Shaner d.8 Jan 1912 in
Evansville, Indiana, at the hospital for the insane; there are several news articles re.
his death and naming his brother Lewis who claimed the body. It gave his wife's name
as Mary (which seems to have been a reporting error but possible I haven't found the
marriage yet) and says they were divorced. Lane and Adam Shaner were not the same men.
Lane Shaner m.7 Aug 1903 Knox Co., IN, to (Mrs. Sarah) Jane Reel, daughter of James Wyant
and Martha E. Creech. On 11 Jan 1912 in Pike Co., IN, Janie Shaner, dau of James Wyant
& Martha Screach, married Emanuel Fair. Janie died in Ohio.
Adam P. Shaner's half-sis, Sarah Carrico, named in his obit, was Sarah Shaner b.Feb
1890 to Seymour Abraham Shaner and Eliza Margaret White. This Sarah m.5 Oct 1907 Pike Co.,
IN, to "Kelly" Wyan(t), son of James Wyan(t) and Martha Serch (Screech/Creech).
They had two children: Lee P./A., and Martha E. who was b.30 Aug 1910 Daviess Co., IN.
Apparently "Kelly" and Sarah were divorced because he d.4 Nov 1925 and Sarah had
a son Forrest J. Carrico b.16 Sep 1925 with Basil Carrico. The Carricos are on the 1930
census in Knox Co., IN.
I have been unable to learn what became of the two Wyant children, Lee and Martha, but
sure would like to know if anybody comes across any references.
Thanks.
