Nov 1938.
Floyd Joseph Stanton, son of Jasper and Mina Dell Stanton, was born in Paulding County on March 24, 1907 and departed this life on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 24, 1938 at the age of 31 years and 8 months.
On June 28, 1923 he was united in marriage to Florence Ashton, daughter of Charles and [Nellie] Ashton of Venedocia, O. To this union four children were born.
Those who have been left behind to mourn their loss of this our departed brother, besides his wife, are four children, Kathleen, Robert, Betty Lou, and Donald Eugene who were residing with Floyd in High Point, North Carolina; his father, Jasper Stanton and a brother, Royal Zennith both residing here at Scott. His mother preceded him in death just a week and two days.
Floyd was an organizer for the American Federation of Hosiery Workers in which capacity he organized Textile Workers in Hickory, Valdese, Leaksville, Spray, Reidsville and Asheville, North Carolina. He was loved by many in every town where he was stationed. He was transferred from Asheville, North Carolina, in July 1838 to take charge of the High Point, North Carolina district office where he made many friends. The organization feels that they have lost a valuable man and his place can never be so efficiently filled. The Hosiery Workers will always remember him as an honest, sober, hard worker who always took an interest in his work; putting the organization first at all times. With his promotion to the High Point district he was in a position to really do a lot of good for humanity. I, the writer, worked side by side with Floyd and he was a great help to me. He made many friends in High Point and his friendship will always remain a pleasant memory. He was well qualified for his work; starting his first job in a hosiery mill in Fort Wayne, Indiana where he started his activities in the union. From Fort Wayne he went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he was elected shop foreman of the shop committee in which capacity the organization saw that he would make a good organizer so he was placed on the staff. In this position he served faithfully until his sudden death in High Point, North Carolina on Nov. 24, 1938.
The family wishes to thank their many friends and neighbors for their kindness, helpfulness and sympathy during this our time of bereavement.
