CHARLES STANLEY.

   Charles Stanley, a well-known farmer and stock raiser of Carroll county,
lives on his farm of forty-five acres on rural route No. 1, Burrows, Indiana.
His farm is in section 32, range 1 east, Washington township. Mr. Stanley was
born in this township on December 30, 1871, and is the son of Moses, Jr., and
Salina (Pangborn) Stanley.

   Moses Stanley, Jr., was a native of Bourbon county, Kentucky, where he lived
with his parents until he was three years of age and then came with them to
Delphi, this county. His father, Moses, Sr., lived close to the Delphi home of
his son for a short time and then moved to Washington township, where he and his
wife spent the rest of their lives. They were the parents of the following
children: John J., is a resident of Indianapolis; Mary J. is the wife of D. B.
Sterritt, of Washington township; Carrie has remained at home; Thaddeus W. lives
in San Francisco; Ella is the wife of Sylvester Watson, of Logansport; Alfred
Bruce resides in Washington township; Charles is the subject of this sketch.
Salina Pang-born was a daughter of Thaddeus and Mary (Hunter) Pangborn, and is a
native of Tippecanoe county, Indiana, having been born there in 1832. Her father
was born in Vermont, where he grew to manhood and then moved to Pennsylvania,
where he met and married Mary Hunter. In 1828 they moved to Lafayette, Indiana,
from Ohio, traveling by way of the Ohio and Wabash rivers. There they lived
until 1835 when they came to Carrollton township, this county. They spent the
remainder of their lives here.

   In 1853 Moses Stanley, Jr., and Salina Pangborn were married. They settled on
the farm of two hundred and forty acres, later buying eighty acres, which gave
them possession of three hundred and twenty acres of land. Mrs. Stanley was a
member of the Universalist church. Mr. Stanley was a Republican, and although
offered several offices he never served. He and his wife were both prominent in
the community. Moses Stanley, Jr., died on June 10, 1889.

   In matters of religion and politics, Charles Stanley followed the precedent
set by his worthy father. Although devoting most of his time to his vocation,
Mr. Stanley has been keenly interested in public affairs, with which he has kept
in touch.
