Clare County Pioneer Laid At Rest Here Last Friday Afternoon
Herbert Eugene Stanley, son of Oliver and Lucy Stanley, was born in Genessee county, Michigan, July 29, 1857, and passed away at the home of his son, James W. Stanley, at Haralson, Michigan December 28, 1948, at the age of ninety-one years, four months and twenty-nine days
On February 6, 1882, he was united in marriage to Carrie Knapp, of Mt. Morris, Michigan, who preceded him in death October 9, 1937. To this union were born, nine children, the oldest of whom passed away at the age of eleven months.
There are remaining to mourn their loss eight children: Mrs. Jennie Tooley of Lansing, Clair Stanley of Farwell, Mrs. Lucina Hampton, of Harrison, James W. Stanley, of Harrison, Mrs. Fern Ambrosier, of Grand Blanc, Mrs. Rose Holmes, of Lansing, Russell Stanley of Weidman and Maxwell Stanley of Harrison; twenty-one grandchildren, fifteen great grandchildren, three sisters and a host of friends.
In the year of 1884 he moved his family to Waterbary, South. Dakota, where he filed a claim on homestead land and remained there until he suffered a complete crop failure and moved his family to Clare, in the spring of 1890 and located on the same plot of land where he was laid to rest.
He followed the lumbering industry for several years and later became a successful farmer in Clare and Isabella counties, always taking a great pride in his work and his ability to help his neighbors in time of need.
He retired from farming in 1920 and moved to Harrison, where he lived until 1932, when he returned to Clare and lived until he suffered the loss of his companion, and since that time has made his home with his sons and daughters.
Even at the ripe age of ninety-one years, he was always able to take care of himself and other than his hearing, never suffered a physical defect until his death was caused by a heart attack.
His great enjoyment was chatting with his old friends and neighbors whom he had known for many years; recalling the days spent in the lumber woods, also the hardships they suffered in the wilds of South Dakota.
Funeral services were held at the Fanning .Funeral Home in Harrison Friday at 2:00 p. m., with Rev. M. C. Hilton .officiating, and interment made at Cherry Grove cemetery at Clare. Fall bearers were Leonard Stanley, Leon Stanley, Leigh Stanley, Otis Stanley, Andrew Stanley and Carl Ambrosier, . all grandchildren of the deceased. (Continued On Page Seven)
