Sarah Jane Humphries was born in Worchester, England, June 25, 1858, and died in Oregon on October 14, 1936, at the age of 78 years, three months and nineteen days. At the age of fourteen years she came to America with her parents, who made their home in Iowa. On October 27, 1880, she was married to Robert E. Bane at Fairfield, Iowa. To this union seven children were born: Mrs. W. H. Shields of Salt Lake City, Utah; Mrs. G. A. Goldsmith of Athol, Kansas; Albert Leroy, missing since the World war; Mrs. A. E. Graham of Portland, Oregon, at whose home the mother passed away; Mrs. A. F. Garner of Salt Lake City, Utah; Ray and Ethel who preceded her in death.
...Mr. and Mrs. Bane came to Smith county in 1883 and located on a homestead south of Athol.

Here she lived until the sudden death of her son on October 7, 1935. Since then she had visited with all her daughters.
...Mrs. Bane was a loving wife and mother, always willing to do for others even to depriving herself. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her, especially by the daughters. She leaves to mourn her departure, besides the children named above, eleven grandchildren, one brother, other relatives and a host of friends.
...The funeral services were conducted from the Congregational church in Athol by the Rev. W. Carl Greene, and interment was in the Fairview [Pleasant View] (Myers) cemetery.
