HISTORY OF JERICHO, VERMONT.
Salisbury, Conn., moving the family and goods on a sled with an ox team, and d. June 20, 1818 when on a visit to his old home in Conn. where he is buried. He was a man of consider- able wealth and owned large tracts of land in the vicinity of Jericho Corners, having settled on what is now known as the R. M. Galusha farm just west of Jericho Corners.
Jedediah was among the very first settlers in town. He at first built a log cabin near the Essex line and soon after was elected by the voters of Jericho to represent them in the General Assembly, which convened that year at Rutland. His election was contested on the ground that his residence was in Essex. Whereupon Jedediah sent for the surveyor saying to him, "I came to Jericho to live and if I am not on Jericho soil I want to know it." The survey was accordingly made and the cabin was found to be over the line a few rods in Essex. The following winter he drew logs to Winooski, the nearest saw mill, the road through the pine forest being laid out by marked trees, and made the return trip with the lumber. In the spring and summer of 1787 he built the first framed house in Jericho. Jedediah Lane was one of the first six freemen, one of the first selectmen, the first representative and was particularly prominent in town affairs.

INTERESTING INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF JOHN LANE.
It was in 1848 that John Lane, in common with many others, broke away from home for California in search of gold. The trip to Ohio was made by stage or team and some of the way they were obliged to go on foot. Here Mr. Lane purchased a yoke of oxen, but weeks and months passed before they reached the alkaline district. Food and even water for man and animal growing more scarce the suffering became intense and many of the party died. Once the heights were passed, food and water gradually became more plentiful.
