ELMER STANDLEY. 
WELL KNown BEveRLY Farms Crrr- 
ZEN Passes Away. 
Elmer Standley, age 52 years, 9 
mos., one of the best known and re- 
spected citizens of Beverly Farms, 
died at his home, 21 West St., early 
Monday morning after an illness of 
about four weeks. ‘He had been in 
poor health for about a year. 
No man at Beverly Farms was bet- 
ter known or more generally liked 
than the deceased, and his passing 
away catises a vacancy that will be 
hard to fill, a great loss to the com- 
munity, and one that causes sincere 
and the deepest sorow. He was edu- 
cated in the Beverly public schools 
and since attaining manhood has held 
many positions of trust and honor. 
When a young man he took up the 
shoe industry for a livelihood and 
became asociated with his father, the 
late Andrew Standley, in the retail 
shoe business and upon the latter's 
death about six years ago succeeded 
to the business. He held the posi- 
tion of postmaster at Beverly Farms 
for a number of years under the Re- 
publican administration, which berth 
he resigned so that he could turn his 
whole attention to the shoe business. 
Mr. Standley was interested in all 
public affairs and took an active part 
in all movements that were for the 
best interest and welfare of the cityor 
his ward . He served in the old com- 
mon council and time and time again 
refused further honors in the politi- 
cal line. He was a staunch Repub- 
lican, a member of the Beverly Re- 
publican Club, and was a member of 
the Ward 6 city committee, and for 
two years he was the chairman of 
that committee. In his younger 
days he was a fireman and at the 
time of his death he was the treasur- 
er of the Fireman’s Home Benefit 
Assoc., and he also belonged to the 
Beverly Fireman’s Relief Assoc. For 
the past twenty-five years he had been 
the treasurer of the Sunday School 
of the Baptist church, resigning last 
Wear, and all his life he had been 
very much interested in the welfare 
of the church. At the time of his 
death, he was also the treasurer of 
the West Beach corporation, secre- 
tary of John West colony, Pilgrim 
Fathers, a member of the Odd Fel- 
lows at Manchester, also of Liberty 
lodge of Masons, and the Com- 
mander of the newly instituted An- 
drew Standley camp, S. of V., named 
in honor of his father. 
Twenty years ago he married Miss 
Lillian D. Lee of Manchester, who

survives him. He also leaves a sis-

place and a brother, Horace Standley 
of Manchester. 
Seldom has there been a larger 
gathering at the Baptist Church than 
there was on Wednesday afternoon 
to pay the last respects to the de- 
ceased. Besides the relatives, friends 
and neighbors, the various societies 
and orders, of which he was a mem- 
ber, attended in bodies, including 
Preston Post, G. A. R., and the Pres- 
ton W. R. Corps. Services were con- 
ducted by Rev. Clarence S. Pond and 
a male quartet sang several selections. 
At the close the ritual burial ceremo- 
ny was conducted at the grave, burial 
being made in the family lot at the 
3everly Farms cemetery. Seldom 
has a like occasion seen more floral 
tributes of love and esteem. Besides 
the individual tokens were the beau- 
tiful set pieces from each of the vari-. 
ous organizations of which he was a 
member.

Last Saturday afternoon at the 
playgrounds in a fast and interesting 
gaine the Beverly Farms team lost 
their first game of the season to the 
fast St. Joseph’s of Lynn by a score 
of 4 to 2. -Frank Mullen, a well 
known Lynn High School pitcher, 
twirled for the visitors and was by 
far the strongest box artist seen here 
this season. McNair for the local 
nine pitched his usual good ball. The
