Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Fri, Jan. 2, 1948

Smith Stanton, 75, former Belding man, died New Years night, January 1, at 8:30 
o’clock at his rural home in Otisco township.

Born December 23, 1872, in Canada he came to Michigan with his parents, Daniel 
and Margaret Stanton when he was seven years old and settled at Lexington near 
Port Huron. Ten years later he moved to Belding where he has lived ever since 
except for a short time in Greenville. Fifty years ago he became a stone mason 
and worked at it off and on ever since. He was former owner of Donovan 
Confectionary and Cigar store and later operated a pool and lunch room. Up to 
shortly before his death he was employed as a spool stamper at the Richardson 
Silk mills. He was a member of the Ionia lodge B.P.O.E. and of the Smyrna 
Friendship club.

Surviving him is his widow, Mrs. Anna Perant Stanton; two daughters, Miss Laura 
Stanton of Detroit and Mrs. Floyd Yerington of Greenville Route 1, one son, 
Albert Stanton, of Detroit; and two grandchildren.

Services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock from the Fitzjohn 
funeral chapel with the Rev. H.S. Ellis officiating. The body will be at the 
mausoleum until burial at Otisco cemetery.
