  F. W. STANTON is cashier of the German State Bank of Ellsworth and has lived

in that village thirteen years. He is a native of Newcastle county, Delaware,

where he was born Dec. 14, 1855, the son of Isaac B. and Seraphina Stanton, both

of whom are dead.



  At the age of fifteen years Mr. Stanton moved from his native county to

Chester, Pa., and in 1875 located a^ Bloomington, Ill. He came to Minnesota in

1885 and for ten years made his home in Rock county. He took up his residence in

Ellsworth in 1895, and from that date until Jan. 1, 1897, managed the elevator

of E. A. Brown. He then took the position of cashier of the Citizens Bank, now

the German State Bank, and has since conducted the bank's affairs. The

institution was formerly styled the Citizen's Bank and opened for business Oct.

1, 1893. Brown and Huntington, of Luverne, were the owners. A reorganization was

affected July 23, 1903, when the German State Bank took the place of the old

institution. It has a paid up capital of $15,000, with about twenty

stockholders, nearly all of whom are residents of Nobles county. The officers

are: E. A. Brown, president; Poppe Hickman, vice president; F. W. Stanton,

cashier; W. F. Marten, assistant cashier. Besides his business interests Mr.

Stanton takes an interest in local public matters. He was a member of the

Ellsworth school board several terms and at present is a member of the village

council, and served several terms as president of the council. He is a K. P. and

a member of the Methodist church.

Margaret Skidmore. To them have been born four children, as follows: Cleo M.,
