There are still several people listed in the local telephone directory with the LANE surname. I do not know any of those listed. I knew Milton (Pappy) LANE for many years. Back in the 1950s I had the job of shoveling eight ton of coal from one of my father's dump trucks into the Lane's coal house each fall. Milton and my father (Harley SHOCKEY) grew up in the Wilding area and Milton lived in the old LANE farmhouse all his life as far as I know. The LANE house was across the road from the store building that once operated in Wilding and the farm laid up the valley behind the house. I also knew Curry and Currey families. On of the two Curry farms was at the mouth of Beatty's Run near Crow Summit. The other was out the ridge to the east between Sandyville and Ripley.
