"Edwin Digges Lane, brother to the late William A. Lane, died at the home of Mrs. W. A. Lane on North Washington Street Tuesday night at 11 o'clock of old age and a complication of diseases. Mr. Lane had been failing rapidly during the past few months and had been sinking for several days. His illness was of two years' duration, during which time he had been almost helpless, although not confined to his room.
Mr. Lane had never been identified with Chillicothe in a business way, but was chiefly known by his relationship to W. A. Lane. He was a native of Locust Hill, Prince William County, Virginia, his birth having occurred there in July 1821. At the age of about 28, he went to Texas and engaged in ranching there. He prospered until the Civil War came on. In 1858, he was married to Miss Eliza Richardson. Three daughters were born to them, all of whom were married to regular army officiers. At the close of the war, Mr. Lane became engaged in an army sutler's at Fort Sanders, doing well at that occupation. He afterwards lived at El Paso, where he still owned property at the time of his death. He came here 16 years ago and had ever since made his home with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Lane.
Of his daughters, one is the widow of Major Webster, who recently died in the Philippines, another the wife of Captain Sibley, located at San Antonio, Tex., the other the wife of Captain Liggett, while with his company in Cuba, Mrs. Liggett is in New York. His wife, who makes her home with her children, also survives him.
In Chillicothe, Mr. Lane was known as a courteous southern gentleman, commanding sympathy for his afflictions. He was a familiar figure on the streets and never lacked for respect and attention.
The funeral will take place from the Lane home Thursday morning at 10 o'clock." The Chillicothe Constitution, August 8, 1901
"Col. Edwin D. Lane, aged 80 years, died at his home in Chillicothe last Tuesday." Chariton Courier, August 16, 1901
