ness. Judge Stanton was well and favor
ably known throughout the state, having
filled many public positions. He was
a self-made man, commencing life as a
farm hand, and railroad brakeman and
later becoming lawyer, in which he
built up a good practice. He has been
a member of both branches of the Legis-
lature, state railroad commissioner, Lieu-
tenant Governor and in 1908 was elected
a judge of the Superior Court. In all
positions he made good record. As a
judge he was kind considerate to all, and
had the confidence Of the bar and public.
His life was full of good deeds and surely
an example of what one born in humble
circumstances might make of himself.
