    3. Just added the article below that Lacinda sent to the Newspaper abstracts, but it is so wonderful I thought I would share it with the list: 7/13/1906 RETURNED FROM KENTUCKY Mr. Tillman LANE and wife returned last week from the great Kentucky Home coming and they report one of the most enjoyable experiences of their lives. The citizens of Thompkinsville, thirty miles from Glasgow, heard that Mr. and Mrs. LANE were coming and a veritable ovation awaited them. Some home comer arrived in advance, and told the people of the aged town in the hills, that a gentleman who had founded and given his name to a good town in Illinois, was returning to visit Thompkinsville, after an absence of seventy-nine years. Mr. and Mrs. LANE, greatly surprised a delegation of kind-hearted people who expected to help an aged couple on tottering feet, when the latter saw their nimbleness. Mr. LANE distinctly remembered the scenes of his childhood, though but four years old when his father Ezekial LANE and, grandfather Tillman LANE emigrated to Long Point, DeWitt county, in 1827. Mr. and Mrs. LANE attended worship in an old log church adjacent to a cemetery in which the remains of their grandparents rest. Mr. LANE will give a talk at the annual "Old Four Families" reunion, which will be held at Weldon Springs in September.
