seemed to be gaining, but a relapse set 
in and he passed away a little before noon 
Saturday. 
Mr. Standley was born in Wenham 
67 years ago. After his school days he 
followed the trade of shoemaker for a 
time, and during «the war he served in 
the Third Heavy artillery, where he 
made a splendid record as asoldier. Af- 
ter the war he returned to Wenham and 
manufactured shoes, later coming to 
Beverly Farms, and about 25 years ago 
he opened a retail shoe store, which he 
successfully conducted up to the time of 
his death. 
He married Miss Susan A. May, who 
survives him. ‘There are also three 
children, Mrs. Marshall T. Larcom of 
Beverly Farms, Horace Standley, a_ well 
known Manchester business man, and 
Postmaster Elmer Standley of the Farms. 
Mr. Standley was a man who was al- 
ways interested in the affairs of the com- 
munity in which he lived. 
He was a quiet appearing man, but 
one whose opinion on matters was al- 
ways sought. He was a man whom 
_ everybody regarded as their friend, and 
his loss will be felt in many wavs. 
A charter member of Post 188, G. A. 
R., Mr. Standley had always maintained 
a deep interest in the organization. He 
was also a member of Bass River lodge 
of Odd Fellows, treasurer of the Muni- 
cipal club, a director of the West Beach 
corporation, and a member of the Home 
Benefit association of the local fire de- 
‘partment. For some time he was a 
member of the City Board of Health and 
was at the time of his death on the Board 
of Cemetery commissioners. 
Funeral services were held atthe Farms 
Monday afternoon. Business was en- 
tirely suspended during the hour of the 
| services. The services were held from 
_ his late home on West street, and the 
| manner in which his many friends and 
business associates turned out attested in 
no small degree the esteem in which he 
| was held.

A reunion of the Ober family was 
held on Washington’s Birthday at the 
home of Mrs. Charles F. Preston, Hale 
street. 
Resolutions of respect and condolence 
have been adopted by Preston Post, 188, 
and Associates, the Municipal club and 
the West Beach corporation directors, 
over the death of Andrew Standley, who 
was one of the Farms’ most beloved 
citizens. 
Thomas McKenzie, a young man who 
formerly lived here, was noticed at Tops- 
field this week, where he is connected 
with the Kickapoo Indian Medicine 
company, who are there for the winter, 
giving variety shows and selling their 
medicines. Mr. McKenzie is one of 
the principal characters. 
Members of the committee on fire 
department of which Councilman Charles 
H. Hull is one, His Honor Mayor Dow, 
the board of fre engineers, of which 
Asst. Eng. Hodgkins is amember, and 
invited guests, made the annual inspection 
on Washington’s Birthday of the West 
Street engine house and found everything 
in first-class condition. The party was 
met by Ald. Hodgkins and the members 
of the company in uniform. The stay 
here was of about an hour’s duration dur- 
ing which time Drivers Pike, Woodbury 
and Morgan gave an exhibition of some 
quick hitches. 
The Municipal club held another open 
meeting last evening in Marshall’s hall 
to which the public were invited. The 
club had as a guest John M. Murney of 
Beverly, chairman of the Board of As- 
sessors, who delivered an interesting and 
instructive talk upon ‘* Taxation’’— 
This club is a public benefactor in a way 
inasmuch as it is presenting to the people 
of the Farms a series of talks or addresses 
upon subjects of public interest.
