Michael Edward Stanton, jr

1874 - ??? (between 1897-1913)
Indiana - ???

According to Shari Sheridan's father, Michael Edward jr was 6'7" tall, and was a baseball player. 

Other than that, almost nothing is known about him. 

He was born 15 Oct 1874, and appeared with his parents on the 1880 census:

1880 Indiana, Warrick - Boon Twp - taken 14 June 1880 - p. 189 line 18 house 214 -
Stanton, Michael mw 37 farmer Ireland Ireland Ireland
        Mary P 26 Ky Ky Ky
        John 10 farmer
        Alice B 8
        Michael 6
        Flora 2/12 Apr

He never married.

He was mentioned in Mary Polly's obit (1897), but not mentioned in Michael sr's obit (1913), so presumably he died between those two years.

And that is really all I have. 

We do have a picture labeled "Michael Stanton:"

but I am not entirely sure it is him.  There were two other photos supposedly of Michael and his wife - but (a) Michael never married (according to family lore) and (b) the photos were taken in Owensboro, KY, where Clarence Stanton lived.  If they were mislabeled, this one may be too. 

But I'm pretty sure it is A Stanton - it has the look, no?
