James C. Stanton (b. Mar 27, 1866, d. Aug 14, 1921)

James C. Stanton (son of Benjamin J. Stanton and Mary J. Boude) was born Mar 27, 1866 in Mt. Clifton, Virginia, and died Aug 14, 1921 in Penn Laird, Virginia. He married Ida Ella Foltz on Mar 26, 1891 in Shenandoah County, Va., daughter of William S. Foltz and Julia Ann Funkhouser.

Notes for James C. Stanton:
According to 1900 census; James C. Stanton age 34, lived in a mortgaged home in Johnston township, Shenandoah County Virginia, with his wife of 9 years, Ida E. Stanton age 29, son Charles W. age 7, and daughter Edna M. age 2. His occupation was a Miller (flour). It says his parents Benjamin and Mary were both born in Virginia.

In March of 1900, James and Ida lost 2 sons. John, who was 5 years old, died from causes unknown to me and while the family was attending the funeral, son Delford's clothing caught fire while being baby-sat at home and he died. This all according to Margaret Stanton told to me in 2002. (See scrapbook item #6 for newspaper article.)

Moved from home on Pugh's Run into town of Woodstock when it became difficult to get to work due to his sickness. The family rented out their home on Pugh's Run while in Woodstock, and after James died in 1921, moved back to it, where Ella lived until her death in 1960. The house was then sold to Mary Hutchinson, who still resided there today(2002).
