According to Findagrave (see below), James Irven Staley, Sr. was the founder of the Staley Oil Co, having gotten his start at a bank up in Burkburnett and subsequently establishing his fortune. He is interred here with his first wife, Alice Bethanie (Blair) Staley; his second wife, Cordelia Elthania (Hawkins) Staley; his father, Joseph Albert Staley; a daughter, Eloise Zephie (Staley) Zimmerman; and interestingly, the governess to two sons (James, Jr., and Jack, who are buried behind the mausoleum), Bernice Ruby Hindman. Miss Hindman ultimately was the Secretary-Treasurer and a member of the board of Staley Oil Co, and had quite a civic career herself.
