Note: Lowell
Edison Flack, the baby in this photo, was born, according to Sallie's
data, 30 Dec 1900 in Westboro, Atchison Co., MO. Here he appears
to be perhaps a year old, so let's estimate the date to be about
December 1901. That would've been a perfect opportunity to
celebrate four things: the first Christmas of the new century, the
first birthday of this first great-grandchild of both Eliza and Josiah
Mumford, and the first Christmas in John's and Emma's brand new home in
Colorado. I can imagine everyone's anticipation of this
event--train rides across Kansas (and even farther for Mr. Mumford),
getting the new house ready for its first house guests, first visit
from the great-grandparents, wanting everything to be just perfect, and
on and on. On another note, Ezra would die in two and a half
years, so this may have been the only time these people were
photographed together. Finally, John Gwin Lane's father, Henry
William Lane, whose photo appears above this photo, had died some
seventeen years earlier, perhaps leading to John's reunion with his
mother and stepfather, Eliza and Ezra (though we do not yet know
exactly when John was first reunited with his mother).]

Yuma County,
Colorado, was formed in 1889 from a portion of Washington County.
Located on the Northeastern Colorado Plains with Nebraska and Kansas at
its border, Yuma County has an area of approximately 2,379 square
miles. The county seat has resided in Wray, Colorado, since 1902, and
as of 2005 approximately 9,789 people reside in Yuma County according
to the Colorado Demography Office. The county offers moderate summers,
crisp falls, cool winters and warm springs. We average 260 days of
sunshine and 16.7" of annual rainfall. Yuma County offers a wholesome
quality of life with fresh, clean air in a serene agricultural setting.

John G. Lane
Imbued with the typical progressive spirit of the west, John G. Lane
has become the owner of one of the fine farms of Atchison County
[MO], owning a
valuable tract of three hundred and ten acres. A native of Iowa, he was
born in Richmond, Washington County, on the 22nd of September 1855, and
is a son of Henry W. Lane, who was one of the first settlers of that
county. The father was a native of Ohio and a son of Reynolds Lane, who
removed from the Buckeye state to Indiana, locating near Terra Haute.
In that locality Henry W. Lane spent the days of his boyhood and youth
upon a farm, and when twenty years of age he made his way to the wilds
of Iowa, settling at Richmond, Washington County. His father also came
to this state and died in Madison County at the age of eighty-two. His
wife passed away in Indiana. When the Hawkeye state was upon the wild
western frontier, Henry W. Lane became identified with its interests.
Indians stalked in motley garb through the forest, and deer and wolves
were frequently killed.
He married Miss Eliza Guinn [sic--Eliza
Louisa
Gwin, above],
a lady of intelligence and refinement, belonging to one of the old
southern families. She was born in Burlington, Iowa, and was a
daughter of Richard Guinn [sic--Richard W. Gwin],
a
prominent
resident
and
one
of the early settlers of the Hawkeye
state. He died in Montgomery, Kansas, at the age eighty-two, and his
wife passed away at the age of eighty years. At the time of the Civil
war, Mr. Lane, the father of our subject, responded to the country's
call for troops and aided in the preservation of the Union. He was a
farmer by occupation, and for many years followed that pursuit in Lucas
county, Iowa, where he died in 1883, at the age of fifty-five years. In
politics he was a stalwart Republican, and socially he was connected
with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. At the time when he "wore
the blue" on southern battlefields he sustained a gunshot wound which
ultimately caused his demise. His widow married E. T. Willis [sic--Ezra
T. Wells,
above and below] and now resides
in Wilson county, Kansas.
John G. Lane, the only child of his parents, was reared on the old home
farm in Iowa and from an early age was employed at work in the fields,
assisting in the plowing, planting and harvesting. The public schools
of the neighborhood afforded him his educational privileges, and his
boyhood days were quietly passed on the home farm. At the age of
twenty-two he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Mumford, a lady of
good family, who was born, reared and educated in Lucas county, Iowa,
and was a daughter of Josiah Mumford. Her father was one of the
pioneers of the Hawkeye state, and was one of the veterans of the Civil
war.
Mr. and Mrs. Lane remained in Iowa until 1882, when they came to
Atchison County, and for five years thereafter our subject cultivated
rented land. With the capital he had then acquired through his industry
and energy he purchased a fine farm in 1887, the tract comprising three
hundred and ten acres of good land. His is one of the desirable and
attractive farms of the county, everything about the place being in
excellent condition. A substantial residence stands upon a natural
building site and is surrounded by ornamental trees. There is likewise
a house for a tenant upon the place, and the facilities for raising
stock are ample. Mr. Lane now feeds about one hundred head of cattle
each year, besides a like number of hogs.
He has four children, namely: Tempa, the wife of Ed Flack; Zella, Lloyd
and Rex; and he has also lost two children, who died in early life. Mr.
Lane gives his political support to the men and measures of the
Republican party. His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church. He possesses a cordial nature that wins friends, a social
disposition that enables him to keep them, and as a citizen has gained
a reputation for sterling worth that is indeed enviable.

MRS J. G. LANE DEAD
- Westboro relatives received notice Thursday morning of the
death of Mrs. J. G. Lane, at Yuma, Colorado. Mrs. Lane had been a
sufferer of tuberculosis for some time and her death was not
unexpected. She was a woman loved and esteemed by all who
knew her, and the news of her death is cause for much sadness here
which was the home of the Lanes for many years and where they raised
their family. She left to mourn her death her husband, two
daughters, Mrs. Ed Flack and Mrs. David Lackey, and two sons, Lloyd and
Rex Lane, all of Yuma, Colorado. Besides these she is survived by
four sisters and two brothers, Mrs. J. D. Macrander [Note: Cora May
Mumford] Miller Anis Mumford of Westboro, Mrs. Ed Hutt and Mrs. Joe
Hutt of Blanchard, Colfax Twp, Page Co., Iowa, Theodore Mumford of
Winston, Daviess Co., MO, and Mrs. Lyman Dixon, Nortonville, Atchison

OBITUARY
Greeley Tribune - 4 Jan
2005
Lula "Lu" M. Flack, 93, of
Greeley died Friday, Dec. 31, at North Colorado Medical Center.
Mrs. Flack was born June 13, 1911, in Granger, Wash., to Alfred and
Alesa (Zessin) Markley.
On June 15, 1932, she married Carroll E. Flack in Denver.
Mrs. Flack was born on a farm near Granger. Soon after her birth, the
family moved to Humboldt, Kan. When she was 6, the family moved to
Weldona to live on a farm.
The children drove a horse and buggy to school and graduated from
Weldona High School.
Music was an important part of her life. She first substituted as her
father's accompanist by chording on the piano for his fiddle playing.
In high school, she played piano at the silent movie theater. She
attended Colorado Women's College on a scholarship and graduated with a
degree in music in June 1932.
After she married, the Flacks moved to Albuquerque, N.M., where their
son, Duane, was born in 1935. The Flacks moved to Greeley in 1937.
Their second son, Norman, was born in 1939. In 1951, Mrs. Flack began
working for the Weld County treasurer's office. She later transferred
to the county clerk's office. She also served as acting clerk to the
board of commissioners and retired in 1974.
Mrs. Flack enjoyed traveling to many states and Europe. She celebrated
her 75th birthday with a hot air balloon ride near the Front Range. The
center of her life was her family.
She was a member of First Methodist Church, the Garden City Chapter
Order of the Eastern Star No. 3, and the Order of White Shrine No. 18.
Survivors are two sons, Duane Flack and wife Colleen of Greeley, and
Norman E. Flack and wife Linda of Boulder; six grandchildren, 13
great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. Her husband
is deceased.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at Bonell Good Samaritan Center
Chapel, 708 22nd St. Interment will be at Sunset Memorial Gardens.

M. Gwin Note: John G. Lane's father died 1 Jun 1883
and was buried in Lucas Co., IA. Some 40 days later his
granddaughter, Cordah, was born in Atchison Co., MO, some 150 miles wsw
of Lucas Co., IA. The Lanes' move to Atchison had taken place a
year earlier in 1882. The proximity of the two events--Henry
Will's death and Cordah's birth--makes me wonder if perhaps the first
didn't somehow have something to do with Cordah's death the following
spring. For example, was she born on the trip back to Iowa and
get sick, never to recover?]

Two
sources
({1} John Gwin Lane's biographer, 1901, in the Biographical
History of Nodaway and Atchison Counties Missouri,
quoted in the box, above, and
{2} Emma Iowa Mumford Lane's enumerator in the 1900 census) report that
John and Emma had other children than the four named here who survived
childhood. However, the former source says there were only two,
and the latter declares there were three. Though we don't know in
what gaps they were actually born, I have chosen for expediency's sake to list the three here, in the
ten-year gap between Tempa and Zella. I chose three over two
because three is closer to what I feel must have been even more and
unmentioned early deaths (in the form of miscarriages) in the five-year
and six-year gaps between Zella and Lloyd and Lloyd and Rex,
respectively. UPDATE,
24 Jan 2013:
Today we received a Findagrave tip from Dawn Needles that led us to her
good memorial for Cordah, above, with a grave photo from Betty Judy. Thank you, ladies!]

Church
Centennial
Celebrated 100 years of service 12 Sep 2010
From the online church
history
page maintained by Lee
Zion
comes the following
paragraph regarding the church's first service:
"The building was
dedicated August
28,
1910, and the Yuma Pioneer reported that the building
contained a "splendid Williams organ". Upon
completion, the congregation boasted nineteen members and a salaried
preacher. Rev. York was paid a yearly salary of $69.65 by the
churches he served; Pleasant Valley’s share was $12.40. The first
service at the new church was a gala affair. A quartet consisting of
Wesley and Ralph Weekly, Lena Buchanan and Zella Lane Lackey,
drove
out
from
Yuma
in
a carriage rented from the local livery stable
to perform."

[Sally
Harper
Note: My {grand} uncle Rex visited my Grandma
Harper on occasion when I was a little girl. I remember him being a
very tall man with a strong build, and of course, he had a large nose.
He was a formidable presence in the household when he came to see
us--polite, but in charge.
Nelly Lane (Uncle Lloyd's wife) was still alive when
my grandmother passed. She was a tiny, bent woman at the time. I have
met Stanley Lane, who is still living. I can't remember if
Stanley is Lloyd's or Rex's son; I'll have to look that up. Stanley's
wife passed away last summer. I think he must be Lloyd's
son. Anyway, he is a minister and conducted the service for my
grandmother. I believe he worked in prisons for several years.
There is a Dallas Lane on Ancestry.com who is a
cousin; again, not sure which family. I would like to find the
Lackeys--Zella's family. Her grave is in San Bernardino. My dad
told several funny stories about their son Donald Lackey trying to work
on the farm--and invariably messing something up.]

Karen Kay Nally. We all have children, and there are quite a few
grandkids, too!
Mom (Floy) was born in Neodesha, KS (on her mothers' birthday).
They moved to Blanchard, Iowa, when she was four. That is where I
grew up. Blanchard is around 15 miles from Westboro, MO. When I
was a young teen, we went out to Colorado to see our distant
cousins. I remember meeting these cousins who looked a lot like
my grandpa Rex and my uncles. Grandma Lane's (Beva) family also
lived in Neodesha and are buried there. I moved to Kansas eight
years ago and am located only 90 minutes from Neodesha. Mom
and I visited the town a few years ago and saw the locations of where
everyone lived. Kathy

Eliza L. Gwin Lane m2. Ezra T. Wells
Cousin Sallie Harper's family photo,
above, confirms this photo, right,
owned
and
contributed
by Cousin
Cordelia Fischer, to be that of Ezra
T.
Wells, not Richard Gwin, as Cordi and I had earlier surmised
from the pencilled inscription, visible
here, in Cordi's album.
|
Cordi Fischer
says that this photo is labeled on the back,"Sis of Anna Bear Freeman".
Since
it
was
taken
in
Independence,
Kansas (photographer's stamp visible above), where Ezra and
Eliza lived and worked, Cordi believed--and I agreed--that
it was most likely Ezra and Eliza. But we
were wrong--see below.
|
This means that the photo Cordi and I had earlier thought was that of
Ezra and Eliza, left,
is
not
them
at
all.
See below for the remaining six possibilities.

the
mystery
couple
in
the
above picture could be that of ANY one of
Anna Bear Freeman's sisters and her husband. We had only chosen
Eliza because she lived in Independence, KS, where the photo was
taken. A list of all eight--now six-- possibilities,
then,
follows:
24.01--Mary
Gwin and Gideon
Bear [No, a
photo
we
just
got
from
Cousin Pat Critz eliminates Mary.]
24.04--Jane
Gwin and Jehu
William Haigler
24.05--Sarah
Ann
Gwin and Enoch Haigler
24.06--Martha
Gwin and William W. Snyder
24.08--Eliza Louise
Gwin and Henry
Lane [No, we now
know they were divorced before she moved to KS; he stayed in Iowa and
probably never was in Independence. And now we even have his
photograph.]
24.10--Elizabeth
Gwin and either Moses
Adams or William S.
Bartholomew
24.11--Margaret
M.
Gwin and Ephraim
Moore, John Dillon,
or Dr. Benjamin Parker
24.12--Caroline

This stone for Patricia J. Wells, right, has only a date of birth on
it, leading us at first to believe she was still alive in May
2008. However, when the family of Paul and Helen were later found
in the 1930 census with one-year-old
son Royce A. but without
Patricia, it became an even greater possibility that Patricia's
dates of birth and death were the same, she perhaps even being
stillborn. |
|
It reads:
PATRICIA J.
SEPT. 3, 1925
|
Since Helen's
dates, above, seem to correspond to Paul's, she must be his wife, and Patricia must be their daughter.

{John M. Gwin
Note: In her notes on the illness and death of R. W. Gwin,
Sr., above,
Cousin
Cordelia
Fischer
identified
"Mrs.
E. T. Wells" as being "Eliza
T. Gwin, wife of Ezra T. Wells". If her identification is correct
(and I have no reason to believe it is not), then this Mrs. Wells could
be this Eliza Louisa Gwin, since cursive capital ells and tees are
often mistranscribed for each other.
Mrs. E. T.
Wells has been called twice of late to the bedside of her aged
father, R. W. Gwin, living near Independence, who is not expected to
live. He is 82 years of age. [Cordelia
Fischer
Note:
This is Eliza Gwin, wife of Ezra T. Wells.]}

This
is
clearly
the
family
of
our Ezra T. Wells. Butler, MO, is 35 mi. SE of
Paola, KS. Ezra and Eliza were living in Stanton,
KS, in 1860 just after they were married; in Indiana in 1861 when
Albert was born; here in Butler, MO, in 1870; and finally in Neodesha,
KS, in 1880 (and where Eliza is still living in 1910).

This
is
clearly
the
family
of
our Ezra T. Wells. Cousin Cordi Fischer says
that Ezra was a druggist as was his son Albert; however, I've not yet
seen any evidence of Ezra being a druggist. He is listed as a shoemaker
in 1860 and 1880, a farmer in 1870, and a Justice of the Peace in 1900.

Albert's

Vanhorn, or did she marry again after Albert's death to a Mr. Vanhorn
who also died? I suspect the latter.

Hello, Mr. Gwin,
I just came across your genealogy pages on the web, and I believe we
are relatives.
Eliza Louise Gwin is my great-great-great grandmother. Her parents were
Richard W. Gwin and Nancy Watkins. As noted on your site, Eliza was
married twice, first to Henry Lane, from whom she was divorced. She
then married Mr. E.T. Wells. She states on a late census that she had
two living children. While you have Albert Wells as one of her
children, the guess that her other living child was also a Wells is
incorrect. She had a son with Mr. Lane--John Guinn Lane--my great-great
grandfather. I am enclosing a photograph. Standing in the back
row (L to R) are my great-grandfather Edwin P. Flack, Mr. E. T. Wells,
Eliza Gwin Wells, and Mr. Mumford, father-in-law to John Lane. Seated
(L to R) are my great-grandmother, Tempa LeAlva Lane Flack, holding her
firstborn son Lowell Edison Flack, Eliza Gwin's son John Guinn Lane,
and his wife, Emma Mumford Lane. This photo was taken in John &
Emma Lane's home in Yuma, Colorado, which John Lane had built for Emma,
and where my family still lives and farms. In fact, we are an official
Centennial Farm in Colorado, thanks to John Lane and Edwin Flack and
their descendants. Edwin and Tempa are the parents of my grandmother,
Betheen Faris Flack. She and her husband Earle Harper raised three
sons, Max, Howard, and Jim. Max (my father) and Jim are still
living. (I would prefer information about living people is not posted
on the web.)
While it is difficult to say, the photo you have identified on your
page as being Mr. E. T. Wells and Eliza Gwin does not look like the
same couple to me. Eliza Gwin had a dark complexion, according to what
I have been told. I do not believe there was much contact between my
grandfather John Lane and his Lane and Wells half-siblings after he
moved his family to eastern Colorado.
Thanks so much for all of your hard work. It was great to see the
picture of Richard and Nancy Gwin and to have the information about the
location of their graves. I do have a public family tree on
ancestry.com, but until finding your site today, I was not sure of some
of my information.
Sincerely,
Sallie Harper
Max Harper -->
Betheen Faris Flack Harper --> Tempa LeAlva Lane Flack --> John
Guinn Lane --> Eliza Louse Gwin --> Richard W. & Nancy Gwin.
Thanks
for writing back, cousin John. I thought you might be excited to know
about a "missing" branch of the family.
I am enclosing a link to John G. Lane's profile in my ancestry.com
Harper Family Tree. There are some other photos of the family, as well
as some information about the land. The story about John Lane is
interesting - as it claims his mother Eliza
was widowed. I know this isn't the case, as John's father Henry Lane
remarried a Clarissa
Godlove - and had several more children with him. I recall seeing a
census where John was living with his father and step-mother and
half-siblings prior to his marriage. A cousin Jim Macrander - from Emma
Mumford Lane's side - has provided me with information on the Lane
siblings, as well as the Mumfords.
We were told by an old aunt that the Lanes were Cherokee. I have been
thinking that Nancy Watkins was perhaps then the Cherokee relative, but
it is obvious from her photo that she is not. Interesting that they
ended up living in Osage country.
I look forward to more reading on your site tomorrow. Yes, you
can use the names of living relatives. Just leave out the details
about location for the time being.
All my best,

Hello, Cousin John,
I thought you might be interested in this document:
http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1930usfedcen&h=34029813&ti=0&indiv=try&gss=pt&ssrc=pt_t1462426_p-1925603372_kpidz0q3d-1925603372z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgPLz0q3dpid
Albert Wells (John Lane's half brother) is living with Rex Lane and his
family in Neodesha in 1930. Also - Rex's middle name is Wells -
Albert's last name.
Obviously, the families stayed close.
Hope all is well with you and yours,
Sallie Harper
Thanks,
Sally!
I posted it to the page--great find!
John
John,
My Uncle Rex visited my Grandma Harper on occasion when I was a little
girl. I remember him being a very tall man with a strong build, and of
course, he had a large nose. He was a formidable presence in the
household when he came to see us. Polite - but in charge.
Nelly Lane (Uncle Lloyd's wife) was still alive when my grandmother
passed. She was a tiny, bent woman at the time. I have met Stanley Lane
- who is still living. I can't remember if Stanley is Lloyd or Rex's
son; I'll have to look that up. Stanley's wife passed away last summer.
I think he must be Lloyd's son. Anyway, he is a minister and conducted
the service for my grandmother. I believe he worked in prisons for
several years.
There is a Dallas Lane on ancestry.com - who is cousin; again - not
sure which family. I would like to find the Lackey's - Zella's family.
Her grave is in San Bernadino. My dad told several funny stories about
their son Donald Lackey trying to work on the farm - and invariably
messing something up.
Have a good day,
Cousin Sallie
I have a gg grandfather, Henry William Lane,
b. Madison OH, 2/16/1832 and died Lucas County, IA, 6/1/1883. My
records show Clarissa Tatman as his 2nd
wife, b. about 1836. His first wife was Eliza
Jane Gwin, b. 1832
in
Washington IA. Henry was in the Civil War. Please
let me know where your info comes from and how you are related. Glad to
share with you also.

And now
another precinct heard from...
In June 2012, Cousin Teresa
Perry emailed us and updated several details in her line--thanks,
Teresa!
Directly below is a copy
of an
1859 Plat Map of English River Township,
Washington
Co., IA, sent
in by my cousin, Pat Critz, in May 2012.
INTRODUCTION
For the benefit of
readers who may not know, a township is a six-mile square of land
containing 36 square miles. Each of these square miles is called
a "section". The 36 sections are always numbered starting in the
northeast corner of the township with Section 1. Section 2 is
immediately to the west, continuing west through sections 3, 4, 5, and
6. Section 7 is immediately south of section 6, then the sections
are numbered to the east with 8 through 12. This back-and-forth
pattern continues until section 36 is reached in the southeast corner
of the township. In the map below, I used red ink to highlight
the borders of each section and to circle each of the 36 section
numbers.
Each section contains 640 acres. Half a section, then, is 320
acres, and a quarter section is 160 acres. A quarter of a quarter
section is 40 acres. Find section 1 in the map below. Can
you see that the northeast quarter section (160 acres) belonged to
someone whose name appears to be John Wembarker (if i'm reading it
correctly)? The southeast quarter section belonged to a John
Jegge. In the northwest quarter section, S. Deitz owned the top
80 acres, and two people with the initials T. F. and J. M. owned the
bottom two 40-acre plots. The southwest quarter section was
subdivided into four forty-acre plots, one of which was owned by the
same T. F., two of which were owned by a J. S., and one of which was
evidently unowned.
SOME POINTS OF INTEREST
With that introduction,
several landmarks can be readily seen:
- First, find the English
River meandering from west to east across the middle of the
township through sections 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13.
- Next, see Absalom
Bush's 80-acre farm in section 19. (His daughter
Catherine married Richard W. Gwin's son, William W. Gwin (click any link
to go to the page for that individual).
- Moving east to sections 23 and 26, one will notice
the 240 acres of the J.
Critz family. Gideon and Mary Gwin Bear's
youngest child, Winnie Bear, made the connection to this family when
she married Charles Henry Critz
in 1886, and they became ancestors-to be of Hal and Pat Critz (who sent us this
plat map and Bible pages).
- The town of
Richmond lay on 80 acres in section 30, and the 200
acres of Richard W. Gwin and
Sarah Watkins Gwin appear a half mile to the west in
sections 30 and 31.
- A dotted line, which appears to be a road, crosses
the township through sections 5, 8, 17, 20, 19, 30, and 31, connecting
the town of Richmond with what could be a smaller village on the east
side of section 8 and extending to points north and south of the
township.
- Four 40-acre plots appear in sections 31 and 33, each
labeled "G. B." and outlined in pink. I cannot prove this, but I
believe them to have been those of Gideon
Bear and Mary Gwin Bear.
- And finally, sections 34 and 35 contained the 160
acres (and one more 40-acre plot marked P. F. east of and adjacent to
those 160) of Pressley Figgins who married Nancy E. Bear.
