Dr. Logan Stanley, 74 years old, widely known in Montgomery  and Putnam counties, died last night shortly after seven o'clock  at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. J. Williams, 805 South Grant  Avenue. His death was due to uremic poisoning. He was born at  Coatsville, Ind., on October 13, 1846. Dr, Stanley was a veteran  of the Civil War and enlisted in the service when he was 16 years  old. For a number of years he practiced medicine at Fincastle in  Putnam County and was later head surgeon at the Soldiers' Home at  Lafayette. Due to ill health, he was forced to relinquish his  duties there. He then established a home at Roachdale where the  death of Mrs. Stanley occurred twelve years ago. Dr. Stanley  continued his residence at that place until five years ago when  he gave up his home and divided his time among his sons and  daughters. He graduated from the medical school at Indiana  University. During his years of practice he gained prominence as  a thorough physician and surgeon. He was a member of the Putman  County medical society and had always taken an active part in the  affairs of the society. The break in the physician's health while  he was head surgeon at the Soldiers' Home marked the beginning of  his decline. His condition did not become serious until one week  ago last Monday. On that day he took to his bed and gradually  grew worse until the end. He is survived by the following  children: Mrs. R. H. Williams, Crawfordsville; Mrs. Prudy Foster  and John M. Stanley of Ladoga, and William Stanley, employed as  Associated Press operator on the Journal-Courier at Lafayette.  Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in  Ladoga at the Presbyterian Church and will be conducted by Rev.  J. B. Fogher. - transcribed by kbz
