a. Note:   Notes Rec Stanbery; died about May 3, 1918, Lincoln, England, plane crash From Eastern Michigan Alumni Bulletin ELWOOD D. STANBERY was killed at Lincoln, England, while undergoing intensive training in aviation before he was to have been transferred to active service at the front. Private Stanbery was a member of the Normal College class of 1915. He was a specializing student in the department of Physical Education and was one of the best all-around in-door athletes the College has ever produced. He took his part in other College activities and in his senior year represented the College in the State Oratorical Contest.
  When the United States entered the war he enlisted at once in the aviation service from Highland Park where he was then teaching. Rejected because he lacked knowledge of internal combustion engines, he entered the Cadillac Motor factory and worked until he knew engines, when he again offered himself and was accepted.

  9/7/1917 Friday Leaves for Italy- A telegram received from Elwood Stanbery of Highland Park, from New York City, states he was leaving for Italy, to serve in the aviation corps. He is the brother of Mrs W.C.Engel of this city and is well known here, having visited his sister frequently. 9/11/1917 Tuesday Elwood Stanbery of Deerfield, who has been trainig at Champaign, has passed his examination in the aviation department and has been sent to Italy. His mother received a telegram from him just before he sailed from New York. 10/5/1917 Friday Deerfield Boy First To Leave For Italy Corporal Elwood Stanbery is thought to be the first Lenawee boy to leave for Italy with the aviation corps since the beginning of the present war. Mr Stanbery is the son of Mr & Mrs Byron Stanbery of Deerfield. Upon his completion of a high school course at Dundee he went to Yipsilanti where he graduated from the normal school in that city. When Uncle Sam called for men in all departments of the army, he decided he would join the aviation corps, and on July 1 left for Champaign, Ill., where he attended Champaign university, a military school. At the time of the completion of his course Italy was in need of aviators, and agreed to train 125 American boys in that art. Mr Stanbery happened to be one of the 125 who were picked from the university to leave for Italy. He writes some very interesting letters about the life in the aviaation camps and tells about the food and clothing given them. He says before they started they were given shirts, extra suits and shoes, the entire outfit valued at $150. The probable route they would follow to Italy is by way of Halifax, then to Liverpool, from England to France, and then to some Italian port. Since the division left New York his relatives have heard nothing of him, but they expect that as soon as his company is located definitely they will recieve word.
  3/14/1918 Thursday Letters From The Front From Elwood Stanbery A letter written by Elwood Stanbery, formerly assistant physical director of Highland Park high school, and now an aviation student in England to his mother at Highland Park, was received by mr Stanbery's relatives in Deerfield. The letter written Christmas night froma town in Essex, follows in part, I am sitting in the big parlour of this hotel here writing you this little missive of CHristmas cheer and greeting. I have just finished a speech in reply to the toast, 'the US" and so I feel quite like writing. We had a splendid dinner and when we had finished we arose and drank the kings health and then sang "God save the King", and mother, you know it is the same tune as "America", and as I stood and sang I was trilled with the wonder of the opportunity that had come. When all was said and done it was my turn. I do not remember much what I said; I only know that I was thrilled that I could stand there representing my country and so I tried to tell of her strength and greatness, though, indeed, it is a hopeless task to estimate our strength. I tried to make them see and feel that we were sincere and putting forth our best effort, and I believe I suceeded in part. After it was over many people congradulated me and said it was fine and I was glad, not for my own sake, but because I knew that I had made some impression on them and had given them new hope and life.
  4/25/1918 Elwood Stanbery dies in plane crash. Word is not received until May 4th, Saturday, by telegram.
  5/6/1918 Monday Jackson Citizen Patriot DOUBLE GRIEF COMES TO AGED DETROITER Byron Stanberry, Civil War Vet, Loses One Son While Here at Burial of Another At almost the same hour that his brother, Asa Stanberry, a vetern of the Spanish-American war, was being laid to rest in Woodland cemetery, in this city with Masonic honors, Saturday afternoon, Elwood Stanberry died in a military hospital in England. The aged father of the two boys, Byron Stanberry, who is a civil war vetern and resides at 34 Davidson avenue, Highland park, attended the funeral of the son in Jackson, and it was not until his return home Sunday afternoon that he learned a double sorrow had visited him. The son, who died in England, enlisted in the aviation corps last fall and with Lieut. George O. Middleditch and Lieyt. Charles A. Pudrith, also of Detroit, attended the aviation school at Campaign, Ill., the three going overseas in September. By a strong coincidence not one of the trio is alive today, all losing their lives in accidents at Lincoln, England, Middleditch was killedMarch 22 and Pudrith wfo was in the same machine with him, died a few days ago. 5/7/1918 Tuesday Jackson Citizen Patriot AVIATOR E.D.STANBERRY WHO LOST HIS LIFE AT FRONT INSISTED ON SERVING U.S. In Aviator Elwood D. Stanberry, whose death by accident in overseas service was reported in the recent casualty lista and whose father learned of this son's supreme sarifice on returning to Detroit from Jackson having buried another son here, many Michigan politicians will recognize one of the brightest pages in the legislature of 1909. He was page and messanger to Congressman Gilbert A. Currie when the latter was a member of the legislature. He is the second brilliant young aviator whom Congressman Currie has aided in getting to the front and who has later given his life for his country. The other one was Captain Phelps Collins of Alpena and Detroit. Last summer young Stanberry , who was then director of physical training at the Highland Park high school, applied for admission to the aviation corps. He was rejected because he had a slight limp in one leg which he fractured as a boy. He immediately wrote to Congressman Currie appealing for aid. "you may not recall me by name", he said, "but just think of the little black haired boy who was your page in the Michigan house of representatives in 1909. You liked me then, and I remember that I accompanied you to the train at the end of the session and carried your grip for you". Congressman Currie made an appeal to Gen. Squire of the signal corps with the result that Stanberry was ordered to take another physicalexamination at Chicago. Again he was rejected, but the slight physical defect was finally waived, Congressman Currie forcing the officers to admit that the lameness would not be a detriment to a flying career. Stanberry took his training in a ground school in this country. Later he took his actual flying training in England. He had been in France only a short time when he was killed. No details of the accident in which he met his death have yet reached this country.

  Wednesday, May 7, 2008 First gold star at Normal is for E. D. Stanberry This story appeared in The Daily Ypsilanti Press of Monday, May 6, 1918.
  The Normal Service flag has received its first gold star, and the man for whose memory it stands is truly worthy of pure gold. Elwood D. Stanberry, of the Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) class of 1915, who entered the aviation camp for officers at Champaign, Ill., last summer and who went in September to the training camp at Oxford, England, is reported as ‘died by accident’ in Saturday’s casualty list. He was 21 years old.
  Mr. Stanberry’s home was in Deerfield, but, following Supt. A. A. Riddering from Deerfield to Dundee he graduated from the Dundee high school in the same class as Merlin Kopka of this city, who is himself now on his way to France. Mr. Stanberry earned his way through the Normal College, taking three years for his course, and after graduation remained in the city as supervisor of the city playgrounds in 1915.
  While in college he was prominent in oratory and debate, in athletics, more particularly in gymnasium work, and in many campus activities. He was born leader of men and a man of high character. He was a member of the Kappa Phi Alpha fraternity. On finishing here, he became director of physical education at Highland Park high school, and his family moved to Highland Park to be with him, which is why the casualty list credits him to that place.
  Last October, after arriving at Oxford, he wrote home a letter showing how keenly he appreciated the opportunity of being in historic Oxford, and speaking warmly of the many colleges and churches he had been privileged to visit. He was in excellent health and looking forward eagerly to getting into active fighting. He sent many beautiful pictures of historic buildings to friends here, and only a few weeks ago sent a translation of a book by a German military officer giving the extreme militaristic view of the war from the German viewpoint to Prof. Roberts. He had annotated the book liberally, and wrote that Germany had suppressed it. He wrote that the soldiers over there did not fear death, that it was all in a day’s work; and that, although his eyes had been troubling him, he should keep on with his flying-he had gone over to France-he had gone over to France-unless forbidden to do so on account of his eyes. It is possible that this many account for the accident that caused his death.
  A sad coincidence marked the death of Elwood D. Stanberry in a hospital in England. On the day he died, his elder brother, a veteran of the Spanish-American war, was buried at Jackson. The father, now childless, is a veteran of the Civil War. Elwood Stanberry was a fellow student at the aviation camp at Champaign, Ill., of Lietuts. G. O. Middleditch and C. A. Pudrith of Detroit, who were also, killed in a flying accident at Lincoln, England, last month, the same field where young Stanberry was fatally injured.
