The Rev. Frere T. Lane

Dies In Brisbane

rE Rev. Prere T. Lane, of the New Guinea Anglican Mission, and well known in that area, died suddenly at the end of July.

He was formerly stationed at Menapi with his wife, until the women were evacuated in October, 1942. Mr. Lane stayed on at Menapi, but came south early in 1944 for a much needed fur lough. He was waiting in Brisbane for a steamer to take him back to New Guinea when he suffered a slight attack of influenza, but his condition did not cause any anxiety.

Later, on arrival at St. Martin’s Hos pital, some internal trouble caused his sudden collapse.

At the time, Mrs. Lane was also in Brisbane awaiting passage to New Guinea.
