 Re: Midcap Family
I think my great-grandparents are Alfred Lane and Ollie ???? maybe Bowers. There was an Alfred Wilson Lane Jr. born Feb 14 1875 who died April 7, 1963. This Mr. Lane was married to a Anna Puckett. He died at Gordon Memorial Hospital and is buried at Swank Cemetery. His wife died before him. He was a retired farmer. I don't know which Alfred I am related to. I have found Midcap in two obituaries. Unsure which Alfred/Alford we are realted to.
