I have a typescript of the obituary for Catherine Anelia BOWLING LANE. She
died on 4 April 1906 in Royalton, Fairfield County. It states that there was
a picture attached. I do not think it was from the Lancaster paper, as I have
had no luck locating it. Was there another paper published in the area at
that time? I would love to see the picture that accompanied the obituary. She
was my husband's GG Grandmother and we have been unable to find much about her
family. I know she was born near Fredericksburg, VA and came to Ohio as a 3
year old but I do not know who her parents were.

I think she was the grandchild of Charles Bowling who was a Revolutionary
soldier in Fairfield County records. I also think that a sister of her husband,
John LANE, married her brother. That couple were Nancy Lane and J. J.
Bowling, Jr. (Marriage record says J. J. Poling, Jr.) Would certainly like to know
the story of that family. He disappears after the birth of a son and she is
shown living with her brother and his family in the 1850 census.

If anyone knows of a different newspaper published in 1906, I would really
like to know of it. I think there was, at some time, a paper published in
Pickerington but am not sure. Help!! Jeanne T. Lane
