Close up shot. Richard Mann, stepson of J.H. Stanton, took this photograph and owns the orginal copy.

Honestly, I've no idea how this man fits in, but he must. Kirkman Munkers Stanton got his middle name from his paternal grandmother, Matilda Munkers. There is no way, in a town of only three people, that a MUNKIRS/MUNKERS, is buried only a few feet away from a STANTON, and the two "not" be connected. No way. Until I figure out how, this family stays. These Munkirs are buried in Lathrop Cemetery, Lathrop, Clinton County, Missouri

I have a feeling this man is a son to either, Loren Smith, William Dudley or Floyd Lee, STANTON. I state that because the photograph was produced in Roundup, Musselshell County, Montana. The afore mentioned three brothers, all sons of, David Atchison Stanton, are the only ones of this group I'm aware of that ever went to Montana.

This couple is connected to someone. I'm absolutely sure they are all descendants of, David Atchison STANTON.

All I know about this photograph is what was printed by the photographer. It was taken in St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri.

Any OKLAHOMA STANTON's out there? This photograph was printed in Central Oklahoma, in the town of Crescent City, Logan County, Oklahoma. Obviously, I'm guessing at the date it was shot.

Oh man, this picture is simply, stunningly beautiful. It was either drawn or photographed, I believe, in St. Joseph, Buchanan County, Missouri. It looks to have been done at the same time as the works for David Atchison's three daughters, Jessie, Matilda Elizabeth "Bess", and Rebecca Vivian, STANTON. However, after looking at those girls for some time, I don't see a resemblance to them. Obviously, we need some help here.

I simply don't have a clue. This is a regular picture, not a professional photographer, as the previous shots. These children belong to someone, but who?

"Faye Larkin" was written on the back of this photograph by my dad, John Harley Stanton. That is virtually all I know about this little girl. I'm quite certain that she's a descendant of, David Atchison Stanton, but have no idea where she fits in. Any help?

This was a personal picture placed into the frame from a professional photographer. The baby's identity escapes us at this point. If you have any idea whatsoever, who this child is, please let us know.
