Henry Stanton was an early homesteader in the Hayden area, an expatriate from Cornwall, England. In 1882, Henry and his wife built a two-room log cabin, cleared the land and started growing hay.
Less than one year later, all five Stanton children came down with diphtheria. Two of the girls died.
Because diphtheria is a contagious disease, no public funeral was held and the girls were buried at night, far from the town of Hayden.
The small cemetery holds the bodies of five Stantons, including Henry.
