FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready: May Lane; "Came from California.--Vesta Newcomb I have no recollection of him, but remember her as being excessively "proper." She thought a woman should never mention perspiration. She said "Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies become all aglow." She also considered any infraction of the rules as next to criminal. She came downstairs one evening just as Harry, Laurie, Robbie, Ruth, Nina and I were leaving the bakery room behind the kitchen, where we had been having a
snack and was apparently horrified. She followed us girls upstairs as far as the second floor, saying "Shame on you; shame on you," while we disrespectfully giggled and went on to the third."

Individual Note:
THE KORESHAN UNITY MEMBERSHIP LIST by Claude J. Rahn: Loretta Lane; Born: 3 Jun 1855, Hartville, Ohio.

FOLKS WE KNEW WHILE IN THE K.U. by Marie McCready; Loretta Lane, mother: Loretta always looked like a Dresden figurine, tiny and delicate with snow white hair but black brows and lashes; always sweet and smiling, I remember the older girls had reading aloud sessions in her room, which was a large one, and I sometimes attended with Catharine. She was the first to die after we went to Chicago. Myran was also small, and prided herself on her sarcasm. She washed the individual sugars and creamers in the butler's pantry and I dried for her, so heard much of this talent. She and Winn Sweet married after leaving and both worked as telegraph operators."
