Biography
On February 17, 1852, Oscar Stansbury, the fourth of nine children, was born to
Washington Middleton Stansbury and Emily Ayers--the only son of three offspring to
survive childhood. Oscar attended the Masonic Male Academy, graduating at the age of
fifteen. In 1867 he began two years of pre-med courses at the University of Mississippi
and followed this with a degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in
Baltimore.
One school holiday, Oscar travelled to the town of Greensborough, Maryland, and met
Libbie Manlove. By the time he completed medical school in 1873, he and Libbie were
engaged. He worked in his family's lumber mill in the Mississippi foothills until
receiving a letter from a cousin, Dr. George Griffiths, who managed George Parrott's
Mexican land grant, the Llano Seco Rancho near Chico, California. The letter requested
Oscar to take over his cousin's overly-demanding medical practice. In the summer of 1875,
Oscar arrived in Chico, a small town only three years old.
Dr. Stansbury spent two years establishing himself as a physician before returning east
to a marriage ceremony with Miss Manlove on April 17, 1877. A month of honeymoon travel
provided the transition between Atlantic Coast propriety and the far west. In 1883, Oscar
had a very elegant home built for his growing family (a son, Middleton Pemberton (1879),
and a daughter, Angeline Hardcastle, who was born that year). This Victorian residence in
the Italianette fashion was impressive in its day; it still remains as a Chico landmark,
and is registered with the National Historic Preservation Trust. As Oscar Stansbury
became established in Butte County, a third child, Ellen Gilder, was born in 1885. Oscar
had a downtown office in the Bank of Butte County Building, an anteroom to receive
patients in his home, and a busy routine of calls made in his carriage throughout the
rural vicinity. There was no hospital in Chico then, so, to meet this lack, Oscar ran one
himself for fourteen months.
One of the most outstanding features of Dr. Stansbury's career was his concern for public
health issues. From 1903 to 1915 he was a member of the California State Board of Health,
an organization that created and enforced regulations concerning sanitation, hygiene, and
epidemic control. He helped establish a Bureau of Vital Statistics and worked to pass the
California Pure Food and Drug Act of 1907.
In November of 1910 Oscar's zeal for quality in health conditions led him on an
investigative journey to the Panama Canal Zone to study the prevention of malaria and
yellow fever.He also aided in the campaign for public vaccination against small pox and
served as the district surgeon for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Through his connection
to the railroad he set up a travelling exhibit car which displayed methods of better
hygiene in the home.
Dr. Stansbury had a passion for property, a desire for farmable land which lingered from
his Southern heritage. In 1887 Oscar purchased a 240-acre plot east of Chico called the
Warfield Ranch. William Earll, of Hubbard and Earll Hardware, was his partner for the
first twenty years of this venture. Fruit and olive trees, alfalfa and hay were
cultivated but the ranch never matured into a financially successful venture. Via
inheritance, Oscar was also involved in the real estate markets of Baltimore, Maryland,
and Carrollton, Mississippi.
Dr. Stansbury was affiliated with several organizations including the Society of the
Cincinnati. This fraternal was originally created by officers of the Revolutionary War as
a pension for war widows and children, but became inactive in the nineteenth century. Men
who traced their parentage to these first organizers revived the society in 1895. An
official certificate which clarified the Stansbury lineage came to Oscar proving his
eligibility. He was granted membership to the society in 1897. Dr. Stansbury also
belonged to the Free Masons, the Knight's Templar, and the Noble Order of the Mystic
Shrine.
Oscar Stansbury died July 19, 1926, while waiting for his evening mint julep.
Libbie Manlove was born May 2, 1852, the fourth daughter of John Pemberton and Amanda
Hardcastle Manlove. She spent her childhood in Greensborough, a small town inhabited by
many of her relatives. Her father was a merchant. For a period of time, Libbie lived with
her mother's sister, Angeline Goldsborough. They developed a close relationship so that
this aunt was known as "Grandma" Goldsborough to the Stansbury family.
The Manlove's were a religious family, quite active in the Episcopal Church. Following
her marriage and trip West with Oscar, Libbie was dismayed to find no house of her faith
in Chico. She made it a goal to establish an Episcopal mission in her new
hometown--achieving success when St. John the Evangelist Church opened its doors.
Mrs. Stansbury's foremost occupation was the supervision of the domestic routines that
were a demand of her large home and busy social life. She enjoyed the role of hostess
while a series of Chinese cooks handled the kitchen duties. In her erly years Libbie
Stansbury suffered from diabetes, finally passing away of February 20, 1923.
The Stansbury's first child, Middleton Pemberton, was born February 3, 1878. He attended
Salem Street School (in Chico) and the St. Matthew's Academy in San Mateo, California.
Following the Stansbury tradition he attended medical school. In the midst of his studies
at the University of California, Berkeley, he married Ethel Cottrell Dunbar in 1902. They
had a son, Middleton Pemberton, Jr., who also became a physician. This branch of the
Stansbury's settled in Vacaville, California. Middleton, Sr., passed away on April 27,
1964.
Angeline Hardcastle Stansbury, born September 9, 1883, was the second child in the
family. Her interests in the arts and education led her through teacher training at the
Chico Normal School, where she received her degree in 1902, and then coursework at
University of California, Berkeley, and the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland.
Promptly, she was hired as an art instructor at the Chico High School. She held this
position for forty years.
Angeline was dedicated to her home and family. Angeline took over the supervision of the
Warfield Ranch until its sale in 1929. The family residence was the center of Ms.
Stansbury's existence. She lived there until her death on Christmas day, 1974. Her
industriousness to preserve the pristeen quality of her home resulted in its use as a
model of Victorian life in Chico.
Ellen Gilder Stansbury, born December 1, 1885, had little in common with her sister. More
traditional in her attitudes, she did not plan a career, although she did finish her
education. She married Francis Albert Clough on September 25, 1907, in a parlor wedding
which suited the style of the Stansbury setting. Francis' father was Fred M. Clough, the
first Pacific Coast manager of the Diamond Match Company, a key local industry. When the
firm decided to branch into public transportation, young Francis was made superintendent
of their Chico Electric Railway Company.
Scope and Content
When F.S. (Bob) Clough finished writing his history of the Stansbury family,
The
House at Fifth and Salem,
he gave the ledgers and other family papers upon which
the book was based, to the Association for Northern California Records and Research
(ANCRR). In 1978, ANCRR gave the papers to the Special Collections Department at CSU,
Chico's Meriam Library. The Oscar Stansbury Papers were arranged and catalogued in 1979,
and indexes and finding aids prepared.
The collection was given a form arrangement and consists of correspondence, medical
record books, family financial records, legal documents and certificates, a scrapbook,
cards and invitations, genealogical notes, printed material, photocopies of
newsclippings, architectural drawings and a map. A group of photographs was separated and
put in the Special Collections photograph collection. Some pamphlets, magazines and a
copy of the June, 1907, Chico Record were separated from the collection and placed
elsewhere in Special Collections.
The correspondence is contained in Boxes 1-4. Arrangement within each box follows a rough
subject arrangement. First are any items written by the person whose name is on the box;
followed by letters from close relatives of the person. Letters from friends and other
people follow. Folders dealing with letters from one person are arranged chronologically.
Folders dealing with letters from more than one person are alphabetically arranged
according to the person's last name, and chronologically within a name, if necessary.
Box 1 contains Oscar Stansbury's correspondence and covers the years 1878 to 1929.
Included are letters of a personal nature from his parents, sister, son, grandson,
relatives and friends. Also letters from various persons concerning medical matters.
State Board of Health business, Society of the Cincinnati, and family financial affairs.
In addition, there are letters concerning the Warfield Ranch, near Chico, and letters
about real estate in Maryland and Mississippi. Several of the letters in the Warfield
folder are addressed to the Oscar Stansbury estate, care of Angeline Stansbury.
Box 2 contains the correspondence of Libbie Manlove Stansbury and covers the period
1856-1923. These letters from relatives and friends are of a personal nature, revealing a
close-knit family's struggle to keep in touch, though separated by thousands of miles.
The correspondence of Angeline Hardcastle Stansbury is in Box 3 and covers the period
1893-1974. These letters from relatives and friends are of a personal nature. Those
letters written by her nephews, F.S. Clough and M.P. Stansbury, Jr., reveal a great deal
of Stansbury family history.
Box 4 contains correspondence from miscellaneous family members and covers the period
1793-1978. Included are letters written to Oscar's parents, son, grandson, and nephew.
The letters written to F.S. Clough and M.P. Stansbury, Jr., contain much information
about the Stansbury family history.
The next major part of the collection consists of the medical record books belonging to
Oscar Stansbury. These records span the years 1870-1926 and include visitation record
book, cash ledgers, receipt books, notes from medical school, physician's call lists, day
books, a prescription book, birth certificate record book, wallets of railroad passes and
membership cards, vaccination certificates and list, and medical invoices and receipts.
These records are found in Boxes 5-7. One visitation record book in Box 5 also has an
account book of a Mississippi saw mill. A book of school notes in Box 6 also contains a
record of household expenses kept by Oscar's mother, Emily Ayres Stansbury.
Boxes 8-12 contain financial records of the Stansbury family and span the years
1863-1976. Personal expense books, cash ledgers, bank books, checkbooks, cancelled
checks, promissory notes, family bills and receipts, tax receipts and deeds are included.
The records of the Warfield Ranch are in Box 12 and include account books, receipts,
deeds, lease agreements, inventories, mortgages and tax receipts. Records of the Gilder
Hospital for 1900-1901 are found in one of these account books. Boxes 8 and 9 are mostly
ledgers; boxes 9-12 have a subject arrangement for folders, with chronological
arrangement within each folder.
Box 13 contains Stansbury family documents and certificates, ranging from 1663-1926.
Medical and professional certificates are in folder 1; State Board of Health certificates
in folder 2; miscellaneous baptismal certificates and other family documents are in
folder 3. Arrangement is in chronological order.
Box 14 contains a scrapbook that originally was a store ledger from Greensboro, Maryland.
Pages of the ledger have been pasted over with newsclippings from the 1860's and 1870's.
Box 15 contains invitations; greeting, business and calling cards; genealogical notes
about the Stansbury family; and several student essays about John Bidwell and the
Northgrave House. The invitations in folder 1 are chronologically arranged. The business
and calling cards in folder 2 are alphabetically arranged. The greeting cards in folder 3
are chronologically arranged. The genealogical notes do not have any special arrangement.
This box spans 1856-1976. Boxes 16 and 17 are printed material, mainly pamphlets. Box 11
has material dealing with the Society of the Cincinnati, material on the Stansbury House,
religious pamphlets and tourist booklets.
Box 18 contains photocopies of newsclippings and obituaries. Newsclippings are organized
by subject; obituaries are alphabetically arranged. Time span for the box: 1868-1976.
Subjects of the clippings include the Stansbury's, the Stansbury House, the Bidwell's,
the Bidwell Mansion and Park, Fiesta Rancho Chico, and the Llano Seco Rancho.
The architectural drawings have been encapsulated and placed in Map Case 1, Drawer 5.
Included are front elevations for three houses, one of which was selected by the
Stansbury's for their home. Also included are floor plans for the house, a bungalow, a
hospital, additions to a house, and a map of the Warfield Ranch.
