(Arthur) Stanley
Brenden was born 11 May, 1922 on the home farm near Westby, Wisconsin. He
was the fifth of seven children born to Adolph Simon and Mathea (Solberg)
Brenden. He attended Von Ruden School and graduated from the 8th grade on 01
May, 1936.
Stan farmed the home farm with his father, Adolph for most of his adult life. Stanley remained on the farm during the war years. In 1968, he moved to Viroqua (Vernon County) WI. where he was employed at Vernon Manor Nursing Home in Viroqua. He retired in 1983. (Arthur) Stanley never married.
Stanley was full of fun and loved to laugh. The joy in his hearty belly laugh was infectious. He loved to give tractor rides (and cow rides) to his nieces and nephews and entertained them with all sorts of foolishness. He was an excellent mechanic. He loved Coney Island hot dogs!
Stanley enjoyed visiting his sisters, Alma and Clarice. Their excellent cooking, delicious coffee, and friendly conversation supported him physically and emotionally. They did his laundry and purchased new clothes for him when he needed them. Their love for him was unconditional.
Stan was an alcoholic. He enrolled in treatment several times, with the support and encouragement of his family. He was a good and decent man who lived his life with a demon. In spite of that, he was a friend to all and loved by many.
Stanley died with his dog during a fire at his home. He is buried in the family plot with grandparents, his father and mother, and brother, Alvin at the Coon Valley Cemetery, Coon Valley (Vernon County), Wisconsin.
