The deceased was born February 26, 1859, the son of John and Catherine Fox Standley of Standley's Corners. He was well known in Oil City, having worked for the Oakwood Rose Gardens when they first began business in Oil City. After he moved to Cleveland, he was a frequent visitor in Oil City and vicinity.

He married Miss Beatrice Lucas of Franklin July 4, 1892, who preceded him in death on October 17, 1933. A daughter, Mrs. Melba Haviland, and two grandchildren, Nelson Jr. and Jean, survive. Two sisters also survive, Mrs. Emma Perry of Oil City and Mrs. Ida Sager of Diamond.
