J, 1. STANLEY DEAD. 
Well-known Mivchettee Man Passed Away 
Wednesday Evening. Funeral Sunday. 
Jeffrey T. Stanley, one of Manches- 
ter’s oldest and _ best-known citizens, 
passed away Wednesday evening at the 
age of 83 years, 7 months. Funeral 
services will be held Sunday afternoon 
from his late home. 
Mr. Stanley had been enjoying his 
usual good health, but last Saturday night 
he suffered a shock while preparing to 
retire for the night. “Though he seemed 
to rally from this to a certain extent, his 
condition became critically worse on 
Wednesday evening and he passed away 
very suddenly about 7.45. All his life, 
Mr. Stanley has been a man of robust 
constitution and had enjoyed remarkably 
good health. He had hardly known a 
day of sickness. He attended the re- 
union of his company, the 45th Mass., 
in Boston last Wednesday and enjoyed 
the occasion to the fullest. He was 
about town Friday and Saturday and ap- 
peared to be in his usual good health. 
His death came as a severe shock to 
Manchester people. 
Mr. Stanley had been a member of 
the water board for a number of years 
and had taken a great interest in the in- 
stallation of Manchester’s additional wa- 
ter supply the last year. He was very 
fond of walking and considered a trip to 
the new stand-pipe between Manchester 
and Hamilton as a mere jaunt. 
Jeffrey TI’. Stanley was born at Bever- 
ly, June 1, 1826, the son of Paul and 
Mahala (Thistell) Stanley. Both his 
parents were natives of Essex County. 
Paul Stanley, the father, who was a gen- 
eral mason, resided in Beverly until1826, 
when he removed to Manchester, where 
he remained until his death seven years 
later. 
Jeffrey Stanley came to Manchester 
with his parentswhen an infant, and_ his 
school-days were spenthere. At the age 
of seventeen, he began to learn the cab- 
inet-maker’s trade with George Procter, 
a furniture manufacturer of this town.

He worked for Mr. Procter for about 
three years, and was subsequently em- 
ployed fora time by Allen & Decker in 
the same line of business. In 1849 he 
went to the newly discovered gold fields 
of California, making the journey, which 
took about six months, by the overland 
route. He remained there for a time, 
and upon his return came by way of the 
Isthmus of Panama. Since that time, 
he had remained in Manchester. In 
1851 he engaged in business for himself 
in the manufacture of furniture, but sub- 
sequently followed his trade as a journey- 
man for several years. In September, 
1862, he enlisted in Co. A of the 45th 
Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and 
was in service for over nine months. 
His regiment formed a part of the 19th 
Army Corps under Gen. Foster in North 
Carolina, and took part in the battles of 
Kingston, Whitehall, Goldsboro and 
others. He was honorably discharged in 
July, 1863. 
Mr. Stanley was married on June 18, 
1854, to Elizabeth A. Edwards of Man- 
chester, who survives him. She is near- 
ly 80 years old. One son, Fred Stan- 
ley, a residenc of Woburn, also survives 
him. 
Mr. Stanley served as policeman of 
Manchester for one year, and as chief of 
the fire department. During the session 
of 1887 he was sent as Representative 
from the town to the General Court from 
the Tenth Essex district. In 1890 he 
was appointed Postmaster of Manches- 
ter, and held that office for five years. 
He served three terms as Selectman ‘and 
Assessor and Overseer of the Poor. In 
politics, he was a Republican and was a 
member of the Republican “Town com- 
mittee forthe last 25 years. He was its 
chairman for many years. He was for 
many years Quartermaster Sergeant of 
Allen Post, G. A. R., and he served two 
years as commander.
