Lloyd Stanley, train master of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad at Emporia, Kan., was born in Iowa, near the town of Williamsburg, Jan. 7, 1875. He is a son of Enos Stanley and his wife, whose maiden name was Harriett Hayes, the former a native of Illinois. Enos Stanley removed from Illinois to Iowa when a young man, and has there devoted his attention to agricultural pursuits. He has large real estate holdings in Kansas, but resides in Des Moines, Iowa, where he and his wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal church.

Lloyd Stanley received his literary education in Bageley, Iowa, after completing which he learned telegraphy and began as an operator. His ability and earnest attention to duty soon won recognition for him, for he was rapidly promoted to his present responsible position as train master at Emporia. In 1900 he came to Topeka, where for three years he held the position of night chief train dispatcher, and from there was transferred to his present position, the division now in his charge being 550 miles in length.

In 1898 Mr. Stanley married Miss Mayme Maxwell, daughter of John Maxwell, a native of Ohio but a subsequent resident of Iowa, where he still resides. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley have two children—Dorothy and Vivian—both of whom are attending school. Mr. Stanley is a member of the Masonic order, his membership being with Emporia Lodge, No. 12, and both he and his wife are members of the Methodist church.
