his body was found in an old well with a sack cement tied to it and his body and feet were wrapped securely in baling wire holding his hands against sides. This information was secured from the insurance representative who had a $10,000 policy on Mr. Stanley, and he was unable to see any signs of suicide.

SELL BETHANY MARBLE & GRANITE WORKS

Bethany Republican-Clipper Wed, Sep 28, 1921 ·Page 1

The Bethany Marble & Granite works, belonging to the Seth D. Stanley estate, were sold last Wednesday to Orley Bartlett, and the stock is now being invoiced. C.C. Hiatte, administrator of the estate, has been running the business since last March 15th, when he was appointed. The sale includes stock, real estate, and good will of the business here. A yard was formerly owned by Mr. Stanley at Cainsville, but was moved here by Mr. Hiatt following Mr. Stanley's death.

Orley has been employed at the Bethany postoffice since July 1, 1919, as auxiliary clerk, and for several months before that time was a city carrier. He has also worked at surveying and operated a farm near town for a number of years. He is known as a man of much business ability, and the marble works should prosper with him at its head. A number of out of town persons have been at Bethany since spring to see if the works could be purchased, but Mr. Hiatt has felt that the interests of the town and county would be better served if it were sold into the hands of local people. It would be hard to find a man better fitted for the business than Orley is, and we wish him all success.

The Albany Capital Thu, Jan 06, 1921 ·Page 1

S.W. Allen and sons Clayton and Clinton last week bought out the interest of Seth Stanley in the Albany Marble Works. The Messrs. Allen have been in charge of the business here for a couple of years, and had also bought out the yard at King City last year, Clinton Allen having been in charge of the good business there since early in 1920.

The Albany Marble Works was established here back about 1885, and the business was conducted by A.W. Hutchinson and G.W. Reed for many years, Mr. Hutchinson being in the active management. After his health failed, the building and business wsa sold to Kenyon & Stanley of Bethany, and later Mr. Allen and his sons bought into the business. They have had a nice run of business the past year, and will continue to reach out for all the monument trade in this section for the future. Mr. Stanley continues to hold his interest in the Marble Works at Bethany.
