Barnesville -
ISAAC R. LANE - His great-grandfather,
Thomas Lane, died Dec. 10, 1819, in his one hundred and seventh
year. His grandfather, Richard Lane, died in the same
year, about forty-two years of age. His father, Harrison
Lane, born July 14, 1812, deceased Oct. 1, 1875, was a native of
Maryland. He migrated to Belmont county in the fall of 1833,
and like most of the pioneers, possessed no capital but a pair of
strong hands and an earnest purpose. He was married on the
25th of September, 1834, to Miss Rebecca Cox, then in her
seventeenth year. Her mother's family consisted of one son and
four daughters, her father having died in January, 1833. The
family removed to Barnesville in the spring of 1834 and stopped for
the first night in an unfinished brick house west of town, then
occupied by Thomas Tanneyhill, lately removed to give place
to a new one, Isaac, the only son, for whom our subject was
named, arising in the night, accidentally tell down stairs and was
killed. Mrs. Cox with four daughters were left to fight
the battle of life in the then almost wilderness.
Isaac R. Lane was born Oct. 20,
1842, in the little frames near the west end of Main street.
He first went to school in the little old brick which was situated
near the site now occupied by the union school house. At the
age of sixteen he entered the office of the intelligencer to
learn the printer's trade. There worked in the office at this
time Samuel Craft, John Q. Judkins and George
Williams.
He entered the army as private in company H, 94th Ohio
Infantry, Aug. 5, 1862, and was in active service until the close of
the war. The regiment was almost immediately put into the
field, and within one month one-third of the 94th were prisoners in
the hands of General Scott's Confederate cavalry. They,
including Mr. Lane, were paroled near Lexington, Kentucky,
were exchanged and started for the front at
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Christmas morning, 1862. The regiment
was port of General Thomas' famous "14th army corps," and
were in Rosecrans' Tennessee campaign and Chickamauga battle,
Sept. 19 and 20, 1863. Afterward they were nearly starved at
Chattanooga until Bragg's siege was raised. The "94th"
took part in Hooker's "Battle above the Clouds," "Mission
Ridge," and during the summer of 1864, was under Sherman in
the siege and capture of Atlanta, after which they joined in his
famous "march to the sea." In the early part of 1865, the
"94th" campaigned through the Carolinas, arriving finally at
Washington in time for the "grand review." Our subject was
mustered out of sersice June 5, 1865, having served two years
and ten months.
He was married Feb. 18, 1868, to Miss Mary A.
Warfield, daughter of Dr. J. W. Warfield, who was well
known in this section of Ohio as a leading surgeon and citizen.
Since the war our subject has been a railroad clerk at Bellaire,
book-keeper in a wholesale house at Columbus, secretary and
treasurer of a large iron company at Portsmouth, Ohio, and now the
agent of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at Barnesville.
