Uncle John Standley Is Dead

John Standley was born in Greene County, Indiana on February 20, 1834 and died at his home in Glencoe, Oklahoma at 11 o'clock Wednesday, February 18, 1914, thus lacking but two days of reaching his eightieth milestone.

"Uncle John," as he was familiarly known, was a veteran of the Civil War, enlisting as a Private in Company F, 36th Iowa Infantry, for a three-year term, but received a severe wound in the leg in a skirmish at Marks Mills, Arkansas, from which he never recovered until after he was discharged at the close of the war.

After the war was over, he returned to his home in Iowa. He moved from there to Kansas in 1866 where he spent several years and then came to Oklahoma, where he spent the remainder of his days as an honest and conscientious citizen.

He was married in his youth and being deprived of this companion after several years, he was married again and this wife also preceeded him in death.

There was not another person in Glencoe or vicinity who was more universally liked, than was Uncle John Standley.

He leaves one brother, Dr. A. Standley, living southeast of Glencoe and a host of other relatives to mourn his demise.
