William Bartley "Bart" Stanley; born 23 Mar 1877 (differs from other references); died in 1919 at Coalwood
WV; buried here;
"Bart was the son of James B Stanley & Amanda M Harman. He died between 1918 and 1920. His draft card was dated 12 Sep 1918 and his common law wife Mary is listed as a widow on the 1920 census. There are differing stories about Bart's death. One has it that his 1st wife Julia Coleman accidentally shot him while trying to prevent him from shooting revenuers coming up the mountain. Julia's aunt tells a story of Julia latching the cabin door against Bart when he came calling once while he was drunk and he rode his big Black horse through the door. No doubt he was shot to death on Coalwood Mountain but whether it was Julia who shot him or one of their sons protecting their mother is unknown. Bart had children with wife Julia Coleman and common law wife Mary Jane Hicks Christian for two decades.Children: Bart With Julia: 1895 Melvina, - 1896 Rosa, - 1898 Charly, - 1900 Clara, - 1901 Lydia "Liddie Bell", 1903 David, 1905 Burly, 1909 Willie, 1912 Ona -----
Children: Bart With Mary: 1903 Pearl, 1905 James, 1906 Robert (my Dad), 1908 Frank, 1913 Goldie, 1917 Ellis.
Bart married Maggie Canaday in 1915.
Julia married George Asbury in 1920 after Bart died.
Bart Stanley was known for saying he wanted to be buried in a pine box with a 5th of whiskey and his pistol so he could go outta this world poppin' and crackin'.
