  • Notes 
    • Have a map of Akron Township Illinois, USA showing James Henry's farm.

      James H. Shane, son of David and Lydia Shane, was born in Brimfield, Peoria County, Illinois. He lived there until he was eleven years of age, when the family came to Hallock Township, his late home.
      He was married August 12th, 1860, to Martha C. Nelson. He lived a few years near Dunlap, Ill, returning to his home in 1876, where he has lived since.
      To Mr. and Mrs. Shane were born thirteen children, two of whom died in childhood, and the oldest daughter in her young womanhood.
      Mr. Shane is survived by his wife and ten children. Osmund, David, William, Charles, Anna, Mary, Joseph, Benjamin, Ensley and Eugene. He is also survived by four brothers and two sisters.
      Mr. Shane came from a family of early pioneers, being one of the oldest settlers. Inmured to the hardships and privations of early times, he manifested by the prosperity that crowned his efforts in acquiring first place in all that goes to make for honesty, uprightness and a well spent life.
      He, together with his wife, in early life united with the Prospect Presbyterian Church of Dunalp, and when he moved to his late home, he transferred his membership to the Methodist Episcopal Church of Lawn Ridge, to which he remained a member till he passed from life.

      The Shane Estate
      Will of the Late Princeville agriculturalist Admitted to probate

      The will of the late James H. Shane of Princeville, father of the first wife of Frank J. Potter, was admitted to probate yesterday. By the terms of the will the wife is to receive a life estate in 160 acres of land, $500 in cash and half the livestock, implements, etc., belonging to the deceased.

      In return, she relinquishes her widow's award and dower right in the three "eighties" in Stark County.
