HARRIET STANTON

Grantsville, Maryland

  In the death of Mrs. Harriet Stanton, widow of the late Eli Stanton, who died 
at her home at Little Crossings, Monday night, at 10:45 o'clock, after an 
illness of three weeks from heart trouble, Grantsville and vicinity has lost one 
of its most highly esteemed and respected women.
  Mrs. Stanton was a daughter of the late William and Jane (Warnick) Broadwater, 
pioneer settlers of Garrett County, and was the second to the last surviving 
member of a family of thirteen children.  One brother, Gilead Broadwater, the 
youngest member of the family, survives.  She was born on the old home farm near 
Fair View, Md., Jan. 15, 1844, and lived 87 years, 3 months and 15 days.  
Harriet Broadwater was married to Eli Stanton, February 28, 1865, and moved soon 
to Little Crossings, where they resided until death claimed them.  Mr. Stanton 
conducted the Stanton grist mill till his death on June 20, 1910 - the same mill 
that was owned and operated for many years by his father, William Stanton, and 
is now owned and operated by his son, W. E. Stanton.
  Mrs. Stanton is survived by the following children: Mrs. H. H. Maust, 
Salisbury, Pa., and W. Edward Stanton and J. Urban Stanton, Grantsville.  
Fourteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren and a number of nieces and 
nephews also survive.  Two sons, Charles Albert and Howard Milton Stanton, died 
some years ago.
  Mrs. Stanton was a faithful member of the Reformed church.  She was of a 
retiring disposition and loved her home, where she spent the remaining years of 
her life since the death of her husband.  She was in good health until May 4, 
when she was stricken with a heart attack which caused her death.
  Funeral services will be held at her home on Thursday morning at 10:30 
o'clock, Rev. M. A. Kieffer, her pastor, officiating.  Interment will be made in 
the family lot in Grantsville Cemetery.
