Biography
Lane was born to Frederic Henry Lane and Louise Abbott Mosely. He started training in shooting at the Manhattan Rifle and Revolver Association in New York and, by the age of 19, won several U.S. Revolver Association (USRA) championships. After the 1912 Olympics, he held USRA Champion titles for three consecutive years. He was later employed by Remington Arms for their advertising campaigns and then became head of the photographic department for a magazine publisher.[3]
His five gold medals and one bronze medal were on loan from his family and on display at the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia.[4] He was inducted into the United States International Shooters Hall of Fame in 1991.[5][4]
