The old estate, on which the bridge is found, is still known, locally*, as the “bane Place,” for old Clarke bane, the founder of the family, came to Mount Healthy about 1813. . Clarke Cane was an inventive genius, and ono of tho products ot his skill is this suspension bridge, ft was made by him and a son— W nliam—from memory, they having seen a model of the siuspen* siou bridge soon to bo erected over Niagara: Bearing tho model well in mind, the Lanes made their bridge, finishing it long before the other, larger bridge was completed. That they built well will be seen when it is stated that aside from a few iron girders, added to strengthen the sides, the bridge remains substantially as they left it.
