STANLEY, Logan - M.D. - Putnam

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.    --- kbz
