Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 476-478:
Charles C. Scane, a retired lumberman and one of the substantial and prominent citizens of the County of Kent, now a resident of Ridgetown, was born in that county Aug. 7, 1834, a son of John and Elizabeth (Mitton) Scane, the former of whom was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1800, and the latter in the same shire in 1805. They grew up in England, and there attended school. Both came to Canada, in 1819, and were soon after married. For a short time they lived near Toronto, and then came to Ridgetown where John Scane became the second permant settler, Mr. Marsh having been the first.
     The location of the little log house which was the family's first home, was on the west side of the site of the present town of Ridgetown, Mr. Scane's land comprising 100 acres. Here were actively carried on those marvelous feats of energy and industry which changed the raw land into cleared and cultivated fields. Soon the cabin of logs was replaced with a neat frame house, which is still in a fair state of preservation. The faithful wife and devoted mother died in this home she had so materially assissted in founding, in 1860, Mr. Scane surviving fifteen years. Both he and his wife were most active in the work of the Methodist Church, and it was largely through their pious and continued efforts that a church of that denomination was so early established, Mr. Scane serving on its official body for many years. He never took any deep interest in political questions, favoring, however, the Conservative party. The children of John and Elizabeth Scane consisted of five sons and one daughter: Jane, born in Toronto, married the late John Tolls, and still resides on the farm in Harwich left her by her husband; John, born in Ridgetown, married Catherine Marsh, thus uniting two old families of County Kent; James, married Miss Jane Spence, of Howard, and they reside on the old homestead; Joseph, born on the old homestead, married Miss Hattie Spence, and they now reside on a part of the old homestead, engaging in farming, and have a family of seven children, Louisa, Minnie, Anna, James, Mabel, Maud and Ethel; Charles W.; Ebenezer W., the youngest of the family, who was educated for the law and is now a barrister in Chatham, married Miss Mary Spencer, of Chatham, and has four children, Walter, Adda (the wife of Joseph Haley, a prominent lumberman, of Chatham), and Dr. John (a practicing physician of Montreal).
     Thomas Scane, the father of John came with his sons, John and Thomas, from Yorkshire to the Dominion, and settled on land adjoining theirs, where he remained through the balance of his life. His wife died in England, and their family consisted of but the two sons.
     Charles C. Scane, son of John and Elizabeth Scane, acquired a good district school education and a thorough training in farm work. When he reached maturity he purchased a farm in the 8th Concession of Howard township and there he followed farming for twelve years. In June, 1862, he married Amanda Stover, the estimable daughter of Reuben and Sarah (Delaney) Stover, one of the old and prominent families of Chatham, where Mrs. Scane was born in 1841. Her parents moved to Ridgetown in her girlhood and lived there until death in 1874. They left six children: Samuel, of Windsor; Abram, of Chicago; Lydia, the wife of Dwight Mickle, of Cass City, Michigan; Amelia, wife of James Fenesy (deceased), of Ridgetown; Sarah, the wife of William Jenks, a farmer of County Kent, near Thamesville; and Amanda, the wife of Mr. Scane.
     In 1874 Mr. Scane sold his farm and moved to Ridgetown, where he purchased a comfortable home, and entered into a sash and planing mill business, which he followed continuously for some twenty-four years. In 1897 he retired from this industry. He was one of the stockholders in the casket business, a large manufactory being located here, which after ten years, was sold to a company in London, Ont. Mr. Scane has since that time lived at ease in retirement.
     Of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Scane four are living; (1) Wilbur, born in Howard in 1863, graduated from the Chatham Business College, and now resides in Highgate, County Kent, where he engages in a saw mill business; he married Miss Melissa Rushton, daughter of James Rushton, and they have three children, Neta, Harold and Jean. (2) Dora, born May 5, 1865, is the wife of Thomas Buller, a leading lumberman, and they have three children, Ina, Glen and Edna. (3) Harry, born in 1870, was educated in Chatham, and now resides in Haldiman County where he is engaged in business; he married Miss Bertha Wildurmuth, of Kalan..., Michigan, and their children are, Adda, ...bert, Dora and Charles E. (4) Leroy was born in January, 1878, and was educated in the Ridgetown schools, and is a machinist by trade. He is unmarried.
     Mr. Scane has reared his family subject to the religious teaching of the Methodist Church. He has been somewhat active in the Conservative party, and for several years his advice and excellent judgment have been appreciated by his fellow members of the council, both in Howard township and in Ridgetown. He holds pleasant fraternal relations with the Masonic lodge in Ridgetown. Mr. Scane's long life in this locality and his identification with its agricultural and business interests, have made him well and favorably known. His friends are many and his well wishers a legion, and this is but just, for his career has been one of integrity, his example one to be followed, and his charities only limited by the extent of his means. The family is one of the best and most representative in County Kent.
