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."
