EDWARD E. ZANE

Edward E. Zane, a prominent young citizen of Glen Dale, Marshall
county, is a descendant of the family of great importance in the
history of the upper Ohio valley.

His father, Daniel Zane, was a son of Col. Ebenezer Zane, one of the
foremost of the early heroes of the frontier, a brother of the celebrated
Elizabeth Zane, whose famous adventure at the siege of Fort Henry
will never be forgotten.

Col. Zane was a man of great bravery, rare good sense, and was
upright in character. A similar man was his brother, Jonathan Zane,
a noted Indian fighter and hunter, whose rifle was known from the
river to the lakes by the name of "Old Destruction," so deadly was
its aim. Had the advice of these two wary frontiersmen been followed
by Col. Crawford, that soldier would have escaped death at the stake
and his men a cruel massacre.

Daniel Zane, who was born August 3, 1792, was married March 3, 1812,
to Cynthia, daughter of his uncle, Jonathan Zane. She, a beautiful woman
and a devoted Christian, died of consumption, June 5, 1841.

On September 16, 1859, Daniel Zane was again married to Angeline P. Tomlinson,
who was born November 18, 1840, at Kate's Rock (Glen Dale),
Marshall county, the daughter of Abelard and Annie Tomlinson.

Abelard was the grandson of Joseph Tomlinson, who settled on the Grave Creek 

flats about 1770, being the only white settler in Marshall county, and came into
possession of a large tract of land, including the famous mound at Moundsville,
he willed to his son Jesse, the father of Abelard, who opened the mound
in 1838.

Daniel and Angeline Zane had one son, Edward E., born June
18, 1860. Daniel died July 8, 1860, and on September 16, 1861, his
widow was married to Theodore Fink, a well known river man, who died
March 4, 1875.

Edward E. Zane at the age of fourteen years began the
trade of carpentry, at which he afterward worked for several years
with Thomas and James Clark, contractors. Subsequently he was
employed for three years in the store of H. R. Kingman, at Wheeling,
after which he resumed his trade and followed that until 1885, when
he bought a farm on which he now resides. On May 14, 1887, he
established the postoffice at Glen Dale, of which he is now
postmaster, the office being on his farm. June 18, 1884, he was
married to Helena, only daughter of Michael Schaub, of Woodsfield,
Ohio, a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He died May
4, 1885, aged forty-seven years. Mr. and Mrs. Zane have one son,
Frank Edward, born April 27, 1886.
