FRED D. LANE, Superintendent of the People's Electric Light and Power Company,
was born August 15, 1867, in Flint, and is the son of John and Ellen (Mackin)
Lane, natives of Queens County, Ireland. His grandfather, John Lane, Sr., was
also born there but emigrated to Ameca, coming directly to Michigan, where he
purchased a farm in Flint Township, Genesee County, some time in the '50s. This
place he improved with a substantial set of buildings, and cultivated the soil,
bringing it to a splendid condition > through proper rotation of crops and the
planting of the cereals best adapted to the land. He died in Lewiston, N. Y.
John Lane, Jr., the father of our subject, accompanied his parents to America,
when a youth of fifteen years, and spent the remainder of his life in Michigan.
He was a prudent, industrious man, honored by the people wherever he resided and
a successful farmer.
Fred D., of this sketch, who is now in his early manhood, is already well
established as an enterprising business man. He was reared in Flint, attending
the grammar and High Schools of this city until he was fourteen. He then entered
the telephone office, beginning at the bottom round of the ladder and working up
through various promotions until after three and one-half years spent in the
office, he became inspector of the various lines, and then inspector of the
Michigan Bell Telephone Company, for the greater portion of this State. In 1884
he became an employe of the Electric Light Company, accepting at first a
position of minor importance and by steady industry and faithfulness to his
employers' interests he was promoted to the position of Superintendent of the
company. This important position he has held since 1885 with marked success.
Mr. Lane is a member of the National Association of Engineers and is
Vice-President of the Flint Association. The electric light plant is located on
Flint River at the head of Saginaw Street and is on a firm financial basis, with
a capital stock of $100,000. It is run by steam with two hundred horse power,
and consists of one hundred and thirty arc and twelve hundred incandescent
lights. Since 1886 Mr. Lane has been a member of the Fire Department of Flint.
He is a Knight of Pythias, and a member of the Presbyterian Church. In his
political affiliations he is a Republican, and believes that the principles of
that party are for the highest good of the Government. His marriage in Flint
August 12, 1890, united him with Miss Helen Van Wormer, daughter of C. W. and
Rillie (Clapp) Van Wormer. Mrs. Lane is a cultured lady with many graces of
character and occupies a high place in the social circles of Flint.

St Joseph [MI] Herald May 2, 1868
On Saturday the 25th ult. of congestive chills, Mrs. Fanny Osborn, aged about
60 years.
On Sunday the 26th ult. of Lung complaint, Mr. Enoch Osborn, consort to the
above. Aged 61 years.
There is something peculiarly touching in this dispensation of Providence. For
nearly half a century this venerable couple had walked together sharing the
blessings of life, and expectants of that blessed immortality which awaits the
faithful. Mr. Osborn had been confined to his bed about one week, when worn
out with care and anxiety, the chill band? of disease laid its hand upon the
partner of his life, and in two or three days from the time the disease set
in, she was laid in the cold embrace of death. Mr. Osborn survived her just 30
hours. Their funerals were held together on Monday last in the Church at
Benton Harbor, which had just been finished by Mr. Osborn's own hands. The
large concourse of citizens in attendance upon the funeral, was but a slight
attestation of respect in which this venerable couple were held.
