"Biographical Records of Sandusky and Ottawa Counties, Ohio," (1896)

Rev. Samuel T. Lane, retired minister of the U. B. Church, and formerly a pioneer itinerant preacher in Sandusky and Ottawa counties, was born in the town of Candor, Tioga Co., N. Y., Apr 15, 1815, a son of James and Jane (Colter) Lane, who lived on a farm where he for several years operated a sawmill.

Mrs. Lane by a former marriage with Samuel Taylor (deceased) had two children, one of whom passed away in childhood, and the other grew to maturity, reared a family and died near the homestead. James Lane died in Tioga county, N. Y., about the year 1875.

The children of James and Jane Lane were: Samuel T., Nancy Ann, Eliza, Rachel, Charles, Lindley Aaron, and Catharine. Of these Nancy Ann married John Vandemark, lived in Candor, then moved to Michigan, near Ann Arbor, where she died leaving two children; Eliza married Albert Barton, of Tioga county, where they still reside, and have one son living; Rachel married a Mr. Goodrich, lives in Oswego, N. Y., and has four children: Charles married and had a family near the old homestead; Lindley Aaron married, lives near the same place, and has two children: Catharine married a Mr. Barton, and they live near Chenang[o] Point, New York.

The subject proper of these lines was raised to hard work in a sawmill and on a farm, and in his boyhood began to serve a three-years' apprenticeship to the blacksmith trade, then after completing his term worked about three years longer at the same place. He received only three months' schooling, with which as a starting point he went on acquiring knowledge by himself in his spare moments, often reading books and papers by the dim light of a tallow-dip candle or a slut-lamp hanging in the chimney corner of a long cabin or by the flickering light of a shell-bark hickory torch in the woods, until he found himself capable to teach a country school.

About this time he married Miss Julia McDonald, by whom he had one child; but about two years later his wife died, and a year afterward he married Miss Lydia Ann Schoonover, of Tioga county, N. Y. He then removed to Mexico, Wyandot county, where he operated a sawmill and remained until his second wife died.

While living here he received exhorting license from the M. E. Church, and not long afterward was given a call to supply preaching on a large circuit which included Port Clinton, Danbury, Lakeside, and the country seven miles up the Portage river, embracing twenty-two different appointments, mostly at school-houses or log cabin dwellings, and requiring one hundred miles travel to make one round every three weeks. He attended the first quarterly meeting in 1850 at Lower Sandusky, where Rev. Beatty, his colleague, was stationed.

Mr. Lane traveled mostly on horseback, carrying his Bible and hymn books in a leather saddle-bag. In 1851 he located at Lacarne, Ottawa county, and at Port Clinton was married to Miss Mary G. King, February 27, 1851. While living here he superintended the grading of the Northern Division of the L. S. & M. S. R. R., for three miles west of the Portage river, and a year later put in the culverts and cattle-guards between Lacarne and Oak Harbor, being in the employ of the railroad company for about two years.

Four years after preaching for the M. E. Church he, in 1856, jointed the U. B. Church, at Flat Rock, Ohio, and served as itinerant preacher nearly thirty year, or until 1885, when at the age of seventy he was superannuated. His last circuit was at Rising Sun, Wood county, his present home.

Rev. S. T. Lane's children by his last wife were: Sarah, Lydia Ann, Sylvester L., Samuel T., Nancy, Mary and Eva E.; of these Sarah married James Kleinhans, lives in Waterville, Lucas Co., Ohio, and has five children; Lydia Ann married John Otten, lived at Deerfield, Mich., and has five children; Sylvester L., unmarried is a publisher, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Samuel T. married Ada Nowlan, is clerk at the "Arlington House," Findlay, Ohio; Nancy married Charles K. Beach, lives at Findlay, Ohio, and has two children; Eva E., married to Harry C. Hollinshead, a sketch of whom follows.
Lydia married Rev. Samuel Taylor Lane (15 Apr 1815 - 7 Dec 1895) on 4 July 1837 as his second wife.

Rev. Lane had [1st] married Julia (McDonald) Lane (died c.1836) and they had one child. Julia died about two years after the birth of their child.
