MARRIED.

STANLEY-STAMBAUGH. On Wednesday evening, Jan. 18th, 1893, at the residence of the officiating Clergyman, Rev. C. P. Hackney, in the presence of a few friends, Mr. Adelbert B. Stanley and Miss Rose M. Stambaugh.

The young couple who thus start out on life's journey have many warm friends in Ashland, who unite with the GAZETTE in wishing them much happiness.

Ashland Gazette, December 20, 1895⁷⁸⁶⁷

A. B. Stanley made an unlucky stroke with an axe while cutting down a tree on Thursday of last week. Being left handed, he attempted to make a right handed stroke, when the ax glanced and struck him a full blow in the instep. Fortunately the blade of the ax struck him in such a position that no arteries or cords were severed, and while he will be laid up for some time he will not be premanently crippled.

Ashland Gazette, November 24, 1899⁸¹⁹¹

A. D. Stanley and family arrived in the city from Indiana the fore part of the week with their household effects and we understand will remain till Spring, when they will move onto a farm in Merrick county, having traded their eastern property for a farm there. We also are informed that L. B. Stanley will return to Nebraska in the spring. One who once gets in touch with Nebraska is always impelled to return if once they are allured away.

Ashland Gazette, August 15, 1902⁷⁸⁶⁹

A. B. Stanley has been laid up for some time from ivy poison, contracted while gathering grapes on an island in the Platte river. He has had a painful experience in consequence, his arms and limbs being badly swollen.

Ashland Gazette, September 3, 1925⁷⁷⁹⁴

A. B. Stanley is in the Lincoln sanitarium where he is under the care of Drs. Thompson and Hompes. He recently had his tonsils and adenoids removed and had other operations on his face and head. He is now getting better but it will be some time before he will be able to return home. After he leaves the hospital he will stay for a time with his daughter, Mrs. Lucille Gunther, and Mr. Gunther, at their home until he is able to return to Ashland.

MR. A. B. STANLEY RECEIVES PAINFUL INJURY WEDNESDAY

Mr. A. B. Stanley of this city received a very painful injury Wednesday while at work at his new dairy barn, which is being constructed northeast of town. One of the little Elmer Buck children had wandered near the buzz saw, and Mr. Stanley turned to prevent him from injury, and his left hand was badly torn. It was not necessary to take any stitches.

LAST RITES FOR A. B. STANLEY HELD TODAY

Services Marcy Chapel; Burial in Ashland Cemetery

A sudden heart attack Sunday caused the death of A. B. Stanley, for many years a milk dealer in this vicinity. He passed away at Franklin, where he had been receiving treatment for a short time. He had been in poor health for about two years.

Adelbert B. Stanley, son of Lucien B. and Elizabeth A. Stanley, was born January 5, 1870 on a homestead west of Ashland and passed away July 27, 1941 at the age of 71 years, 6 months and 22 days, being the last member of the Stanley family, who were very prominent in the early history of this vicinity.

At an early age he moved with his parents to Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew to early manhood and completed his education. Returning to Ashland at the age of eighteen he engaged in construction with his father. His later life has been spent in farming in the Ashland community.

On January 18, 1893 he was united in marriage with Rose M. Stambaugh. To this union six children were born, two of whom died in infancy. Surviving are his widow, Rose; three daughters, Mrs. Kathryn Lucille Gunther of Lincoln, Mrs. Elizabeth Scott and Mrs. Lillian Starns of Ashland; a son, Adelbert D., at home; seven grandchildren, and a host of friends.

He was a loving husband and father and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends.

Funeral services are being held at the Marcy chapel this afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. L. B. Stevenson, pastor of the Christian church, officiating. Burial will be in the Ashland cemetery.

Mrs. Stanley Was A Native Pioneer

Mrs. Rose Stanley, a native pioneer resident of the Ashland community, died at the family home north of town about 11 o'clock Saturday night. Even though she had been in failing health, the news of her death was unexpected to many friends who had known and respected her all their lives.

Rose May Stambaugh, daughter of Joseph and Catherine Stambaugh, was born Feb. 18, 1872 at Ashland, Nebr. and passed away Saturday, July 20, 1946 at the age of 74 years 4 months and 2 days.

She graduated from the Ashland public school, and after teaching school for one year was married to Adelbert B. Stanley on Jan. 18, 1893. To this union were born six children, of whom two died in infancy. Mr. Stanley preceded her in death July 27, 1941.

Mrs. Stanley was an ardent Christian, and became a member of the Ashland Christian church many years ago. She was a regular attendant at services as long as her health permitted and was a faithful member to the end.

Left to mourn her loss are her four children, Mrs. Lucille Gunther of Red Oak, Ia., Adelbert Stanley, Mrs. Elizabeth Scott and Mrs. Lillian Starns, all of Ashland. There are also eight grandchildren; one sister, Mrs. Josephine Waybright, and a brother, Randolph Stambaugh of Ashland.

Funeral services were held at the Marcy chapel in Ashland at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23. Rev. H. H. Utterback, pastor of the Ashland Christian church, was in charge. Chapel music was used during the service.

The pallbearers were: Walter Farmer, Mack Stickney, Fred Stickney, Robert Welch, Orval Thieessen and Albert Engblom.

The place of interment was Ashland cemetery.

Mabel Josephine Stanley

Mabel Josephine, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Adelbert Stanley, died at the home of her parents just north of this city on Friday, March 24, after a very brief illness with bronchitis, aged five months and five days.

The death of little Mable came with terrible suddenness to her afflicted parents. On the preceding evening she was perfectly well to all appearance. Shortly after midnight she was taken ill, and rapidly grew worse, despite all that the best medical skill could do in her behalf.

The funeral was held at the home on Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by the venerable Rev. C. P. Hackney. The burial was in the Ashland cemetery.

Ashland Gazette, November 15, 1907⁷⁸⁷¹

Gladys Stanley

Gladys Rose Stanley, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Stanley, who died last Friday morning of diptheria, was born in Ashland, May 23, 1906, and was aged 1 year, 5 months and 15 days. Owing to the nature of the disease and the suddenness of death no services could be held and the little body was laid to rest in the cemetery in the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley have the sympathy of the entire community. The other members of the family have recovered from all symptoms of the disease and no new cases are reported.
