Facts and Events
My Brother, told us of a story about a Aunt Laine who owned a pencil company in New York and that she offered to take Mom (Katherine Lane) and him raise him and pay for everything they wanted, When I was about ready to graduate from High School my mother recievied a letter asking her to bring me and her out to New York from Aunt Lanie and she would sent me to any college I wanted. I just found who this Aunt Lanie was - She was Elaine Lane who was married to Julian Hiram Schermerhorn who was part owner, Treasure and later became Vice president of Dixon Crucible Company one of the oldest American Companies still in exsisteance, he also became Vice president of the American Graphite Company of Ticonderoga in New York an member of the board of Directors. Mom told us they owned much of RI NY. I have just started to do research on this section of my Lane family - May 2008 |
