STANBRO Charles Edgar Stanbro was born March 31, 1853, and died at Victor, IA., Sept. 19, 1924, aged 71 years, 5 months and 19 days. He was a son of John and Phoebe Stanbro and was bon on a farm near Virgil, Cortland County, New York. When about three years old he moved with his parents to a farm two miles from Decatur, MI. About seven years later they moved to a farm near Prophetstown, IL., where they made their home until 1869, when they moved from Illinois to Iowa. Edgar then being 16 years of age when he located on the farm that he has since occupied, one mile northwest of Victor. All these moves were made in covered wagons and they were nearly a week moving with two covered wagons from Illinois to Iowa, Edgar driving one wagon and his father the other. The country around Victor was new and there were no roads marked out so all travelers crossed the fields anywhere they pleased. The railroad had only been built through Victor one year and went as far as Des Moines. There were but few houses in Victor then and fewer in the country. The Stanbro farm was then unfenced, virgin soil, no buildings nor a stick of timber on it. Such was the farm C. E. Stanbro located upon and he had improved it to its present state, now having a fine home with all buildings for comfort and convenience that a farmer ought to have. His father died in 1880, leaving the care of the family to Edgar, and he was a good son and a good brother in that home, always working hard and doing the best he could for the welfare of the home. Charles Edgar was the eldest of six children, three of whom died in childhood. Two sisters and his mother remained to be cared for by him. In 1887 his mother died and shortly after his two sisters married. On Feb. 28, 1889, he was united in marriage to Lucinda Rose and the Stanbro farm being their home. Seven children blessed this home, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood and still live to mourn the death of their father. C. E. Stranbro was very religious, even from his early youth, and his greatest pleasure was an almost regular attendance of the church services, even when a boy, and this love of God's house and God's service was continued all through his life. In 1896 he joined the M. E. church and has been a faithful member ever since. He was a good brother to his sisters, a good husband and a good father to his family, and his children will surely rise up and call him blessed. He was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was always a regular attendant and an interested, active member of his church and he was for many years a trustee and he brought up his family to be interested in the church. He took the flu three years ago and never recovered from it. He gradually failed in health but has been a patient sufferer, never complaining but patiently bearing the suffering that attends the last long mile of life. Those remaining to mourn his loss are his wife and children as follows: Mrs. Dwight Jewell, Anderson, MO., Mrs. Ray Harrison, Lander, WY., James Stanbro, St. Charles, IA., Harley Stanbro, Victor, IA; Mrs. Lewis Bigler, Hale Center, TX., and Alton and Orville Stanbro, who still live in the parental home and run the farm; also nine grandchildren and his two sisters, Mrs. Ida McDaniel and Mrs. Rose Shoup, both of Victor. Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church Sunday, Sept. 21 at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. F. Rex of Wellman, IA., a former pastor, assisted by Rev. C. E. Coggeshall. The pall bearers were H. W. Chittenden, Willard Coats, S. U. Mussetter, Walter Myers, and J. E. Bach. Interment was in the Victor I.O.O.F. cemetery.
