John R. Stanley Is Dead At 91 Years
     One of City's Oldtimers Born Here When It Was Bytown.---Funeral Tuesday.
     John Robert Stanley, pioneer resident of the Capital, died this morning at his residence, 114 Sherbrooke avenue, at the advanced age of 91 years. Mr. Stanley was a son of the late John R. Stanley, who came to Bytown from England about 1824. He was ill only a short time. The funeral will be held on Tuesday.
     Mr. Stanley was born in Bytown, in a two and a half storey white frame building known as the old Carleton hotel that stood for many years on the south side of Wellington street between Bank and Kent streets. The building was there until the American Bank Note Company building was erected. The late Mr. Stanley's father owned the building and ran a hotel for a number of years. The late Mr. Stanley's father was one of those who contributed heavily towards the erection of the original Christ church.
     Mr. Stanley had many recollections of the early days of Ottawa. He remembered as a small boy seeing farmers coming in from Nepean to Christ church in ox carts, six or eight persons to a cart, and how some of these farmers used to come to church in summer attired only in white shirts, trousers and a belt, the latter generally of some colored material. Mr. Stanley also had recollections of Wellington street dating as far back as the year 1850 and of James Doran, the old soldier who owned the famous Doran Hotel, where the Mortimer Company building is now situated.
     His wife predeceased him in December last year. Surviving is an adopted daughter, Miss Ida Stanley, of Ottawa, and the following nieces and nephews, Mrs. A. Simpkins, of St. Paul, Minn; Mrs. Albert Stanley, Metcalfe; Mrs, Robert Walsh. Metcalfe; Mrs. Frank Tanner, Vars, Mrs. William Brunton, and Mrs. George Stanley, of Ottawa; William Mossop, Cotton, Ont; Richard B. Stanley, Greely; John Morrison Osgood Station, and Charles C. Morrison, of Ottawa.
     The funeral will take place from his late residence tomorrow afternoon to St. Matthias Anglican church where the service will be conducted at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in Beechwood cemetery. The service will be conducted by Rev. W. A. E. Butler.¹

Since Ida is enumerated with John Stanley and his new wife Sarah on 31 Mar 1901, I assume that John and his first wife Hannah had adopted her. After Hannah's death in 1900, John remarried just after the official enumeration date of the 1901 census. They were probably enumerated after April 10th, and were technically incorrectly listed as married.

Alternatively, Ida may have been a ward of Sarah prir to her marriage to John.³
