In 1866 he was elected president of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, and also vice-president of the National Board of Trade. He is president of the Citizens' Insurance Co., and is largely identified with the elevator interests of the city. In 1868 he was elected lieutenant-governor of the state, and as such was one of the ablest and most popular presiding officers the senate of the state has ever had. He was elected to the 43d congress, and was an efficient and valuable member, since which he has declined all nominations to office. He is a mem- ber of the Methodist church, and contributes generously to the promotion of its interests. He was a staunch Union man dur- ing the civil war. As a speaker, Mr. Stanard is thoroughly self-possessed, deliberate, clear, and convincing,-his tall form, pleasant voice, ardent temperament, and genial face and man- ner, contributing greatly to his popularity in that direction.
His wonderful success in life, and his large accumulations, have not in any way interfered with his careful and prudent modes of business, neither have they permitted his bark to split upon the rock of extravagant living which has made shipwreck of so many fortunes. He is living modestly in his beautiful home, surrounded by a happy family circle, including his mother, who still survives to enjoy the home, the honors, and the successes which have come to her son. In 1856 he married Hattie A. Kauffman. [See page 536.]
