The Lane and Wheller Families were joined by the marriage of Charles F. Lane to Delia Wheller in 1878. Warren Lane, the father of Charles F. Lane, was born in Vermont in 1808, the son of John Flagg Lane and Zarina Perkins Lane. By 1839 he had moved to Ohio, where he resided first in Tallmadge (Summit County) and then in Swanton (Fulton County). In 1857, he and his second wife and their children moved to Berea in Cuyahoga County. During the Civil War, Warren Lane served in the 103rd Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry as a nurse at Camp Cleveland and at the General Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. He was discharged at Cleveland in September 1863. Before his death in 1877, Warren Lane was a farmer and storekeeper in Berea.
Among the children of Warren Lane were Charles F., Warren J., Frank, Eugene, and Cora Lane. By far the most prominent was Charles F. Lane. Born in Swanton in 1856, Charles worked as a clerk in the Chickasaw National Indian Territory from 1876-1877. In 1878 he married Delia Wheller, and soon began a career in politics. Charles F. Lane was village clerk in Berea from 1886-1894, mayor from 1900-1902, and Cuyahoga County Representative to the Ohio House from 1904-1905.
James Wheller, the father-in-law of Charles F. Lane, was born in England. By 1854 he had immigrated to the United States and in 1859 he became a naturalized citizen. In 1886 he married Sarah Roughton. James Wheller, a shoemaker, resided first in Columbia, Ohio, in Lorain County and made later moves to Strongsville (Cuyahoga County), and to Copapa and Beebetown in Lorain County.
