LANE, Beatrice Matilda (1876-1907)

It was with very deep regret that we heard that Mrs Lane (née Carter) had passed away on November 30th at the early age of 31.  It was thus only by a few weeks that she survived her grandfather, the late Mr Edward Wilson, who had done so much for her in her childhood, and to whom she was so devoted.  It will be fresh in the minds of many how that her marriage had taken place as recently as June 1906, when she left London for her new home in Birmingham, where she resided until her death.  The greater part of her earlier life was spent in Badsey, and her memory will always be cherished by her many friends there.  She will also be remembered as a devout and loyal member of the Church.  She was patient, thoughtful, and ever ready to do all in her power to add to the comfort of others, and with such qualities she endeared herself to all who knew her.
