      A monument on the plat of Edmond Stanton
      at St. Mary's Cemetery was unveiled
      yesterday with suitable exercises. Those
      already buried there, whose memory the
      monument commemorates, are Mrs. Edmond
      Stanton and William Stanton. The
      members of the Stanton Steamer Company
      left the steamer house In chartered cars
      with Doring's Band and proceeded to the
      Karnam steamer house. New uniforms
      were yesterday worn for the first time.
      They were presented to the company by
      Edmond Stanton. From the Farnam
      steamer house the Stanton company
      marched to the cemetery.
      Rev. J. E. Gllligan and Dennis O'Loughlln
      delivered addresses, but the principal
      speech waa made by John P. Kelly. He
      referred to the service performed as a
      fireman by the late William Stanton and
      said that it was commendable and proper
      for the firemen composing the company of
      which he was a member to be present at
      the unveiling of a monument in his memory.
      Mr. Kelly also spoke of the fact that for
      forty years Edmond Stanton, father of
      William Stanton, had been a benefactor
      of the company, one on whom at any
      time the members could call for assistance
      and be assured of a prompt response.
      Reference waa also made to the service of
      Mr. Stanton as a Fire Commissioner of this
      city and his service as a volunteer fireman.
      Mr. Kelly said that a statue of the late
      William Stanton was placed on top of
      the monument at the request of the company.
      In conclusion Mr. Kelly wished Edmond
      Stanton many more years of life and
      said that on the records of the Troy Fire
      Department the name of Stanton was inscribed
      on time's eternal adamant.
      The monument was the work of Young &
      Sons of this city and is made of New
      Westerly granite, it is about thirty feet
      high and seven feet square at the base. On
      the top is a statue of the late William
      Stanton. Chief Byron and Battalion Chief
      Magill were present at the unveiling.
