Fort Ganes Sentinel 4 Apr 1902 [Fort Gaines, Clay Co GA]

"The death of Mr. Sans Stanley, which occurred at his home near Gilbert last Sunday 
afternoon is a source of genuine sorrow to his wide circle of acquaintances.
Mr. Stanley was eighty-odd years old, and while his family and friends realized that he 
had long since lived out the allotted days of man, they were unprepared for the suddenness 
of his demise. He was sitting on the front veranda of his home conversing with a friend, 
when without a moment's indication that there was anyting unusual the matter with him, 
his head dropped to one side and he was dead. It is supposed to have been a sudden attack 
of heart disease.
His remains were interred at Ebenezer church, in Randolph county.
Mr. Stanley moved from Randolph county to this county a number of years ago. In Randolph 
he had been prominent in all public affairs, and was highly esteemed. Since coming to 
this county, and until old age unfitted him for active service, he was quite a useful 
citizen, and was genrally respected.
He is survived by quite a large family and numerous relatives, to all of whom the 
SENTINEL respectifully tenders condolence."
