There is a probate record for Stiles J. Stanton in 1865 (it said he was a minor) and the executor was the estate of Eliza Stanton. This was in Goodhue County, MN. Is this an inheritance that he got when his mother died? But his mother was not a Stanton at this time, she was a McKenzie. She had remarried Edwin.

Found a card for his military records that states that he was in the Goodhue County Rangers during the civil war. He was only in the service for one month. It says that he died in Chile, South America. This is very interesting. This means that W.D. wanted to go to Chile to be with his brother. At least William died in the company of family. Now, where do I get more information on Chile?

His widow Annette, did file for Pension


On the back of a photo of him is written "Torvo Brother" Then there is a signature written over the writing. That signature is " E. Sarreauy"
or "E. Larreauy"
