Stanley - Logan
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal, November 2, 1920
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.
