Note: In the 1900 USA Census, Carrie E Stanton, 33 years of age, is listed as living with her sisters Clotilde Stanton, aged 30, and Mary Stanton, aged 15, and a border named Isabella G Reukeff, aged 8. They resided in Philadelphia Ward 22, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Carrie is listed as the head of the household, and no occupation is given. Clotilde is listed as a stenographer and typist. Their mother is not named, but she is said to have been born in England. Their father is not named, but he is said to have been born in Pennsylvania.
According to other findings I have made, their father James Monroe Stanton died in 1871, at the age of 27. Their mother, Ellen (Ashbury) Stanton died in 1891 at the age of 46.

Clotilde herself appears to have been intered in family history. She obtained certification #138775 as a 'Daughter of the American Revolution' by tracing her ancestry back to a Lord John Ryland, through a son of John named Andrew Ryland and his wife Phoebe Burkhart. Elsewhere in this database I have argued that the father of Andrew was Paulus Reylandt, and NOT a Lord John Ryland, and that John Ryland was brother of Andrew.
Recent research by John P. Ryland of San Francisco, "JA", and others have resulted in the registration all of the following as DAR approved.
1) RYLAND, PAUL (Paulus Reylandt) Ancestor #: A206879
2) RYLAND, JAMES Ancestor #: A204965
3) RYLAND, JOHN Ancestor #: A206184

References to this "Tillie" STANTON are made in the Historic Nickle Correspondence that was given to me by my aunt Rosemary NICKLE, wife of Samuel C. NICKLE Jr:
(a) L137, written 1935 Sept 01, from Edward Ryland STANTON to his aunt Martha Jane NICKLE (nee STANTON) who was residing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada at the time. The letter was sent frm Pottsville, Pennsylvania, USA, where Edward had attended a Ryland Family Reunion. He refers to Tillie only briefly as follows: "Tillie is back at a position in Washington."
(b) L156, written 1940 August 14th, from Samuel Calgary, Alberta, Canada from Clarence NICKLE Sr (son of Martha Jane NICKLE (nee STANTON) to his wife Olga NICKLE (nee SIMONSON), who was on a brief family trip to Manitoba, Canada. Tillie was a maternal first cousin to Samuel C. Nickle, and he would have been 51 years old when he wrote this letter. He writes as follows:
"Tillie (Clotilda Stanton) arrived here Sunday night and checked into the hotel, called us on Monday, and we had a most wonderful visit until last night. She is certainly a wonderful woman at seventy years, holds a very responsible position with the government. She has been travelling in Europe about half the time during the past five years. You would think that she was a woman of forty by her vitality and conversation, and is highly regarded in Washington. Has been travelling under semi-diplomatic passport, and was in Europe during the crisis of 1938, returned again in 1939 and was in England when the Athenian was sunk. She is the woman who cabled to the senate to send a battle cruiser for her, she did this more to kid the senators who know her intimately and somehow the papers got hold of it and made it into quite a story. She also assisted four Finnish girls who were standed from the Athenia, two of them spoke English. Indeed Tillie is quite a grand person and expressed great regret at not having met you on either visit. She is rushing back to Washington so will not be going through Winnipeg.
You may remember the things she had stored in the attic at Oak Lane, Philiadelphia, which she had promised me. The Smithsonian Institute at Washington heard about them and requested them to be deposited with them., so she donated them to the Institute and is sending me a copy of the letters she received in Acknowledgement and also the location at which they are on display in the Insitute so that whenever we go to Washington we may see them or our children may see them, they will always be there excepting two articles she saved for me. These she is going to send me for Christmas if it is possible to get them out, and I am sure that she will be able to do this from what she told me. They are the officers writting desk made in sections to fit on a cannon carriage, including many documents they contain [Henry Ford offered her $800 for this desk but she refused, saving it for me], and a table which my great great grandfather owned [ that would be Andrew Ryland/Reiland/Riland, if Sam C. Nickle has this correct. SWA].
I also learned that my Godfather, Mr. Billitt, is the uncle of the the U.S. Ambassador to France, the one you read so much about in the papers. Also, that any request I may send to the U. S. State Department [thru Tillie?] will receive immediate attention whenever possible be granted [sic].
There is so much to tell you about our visit and the children will have so much to tell you about that we had better wait until you get home so that they will have an opportunity to tell you some of it. "

Notice of the death of Clotilde C. Stanton:
Wire dated Nov 13, 1944 to Samuel Clarence NICKLE at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Canada from his wife Olga NICKLE: "Just received letter re sudden passing of Clotilde November 2nd [1943]."
The letter referred to reads as follows:
Land Title, Bank and Trust Companyh, Philadelphia 10, Broad and Chestnut Streets,
Nov 9, 1944
[To] Mrs. Alga (sic) Nickle [S/B Olga]
3015 Glencoe Road
Calgary, Alberta
Dear Mrs. Nickle:
The enclosed envelopes were forwarded to me with with other mail from Berkely Springs.
Clotilde c. Stanton and I have been friends for a number of years. She passed away rather suddenly last Thursday afternoon at 1:45 at Park View Inn, Berkeley Springs W. Va., where she had gone to regain her health. She left Philadelphia on the morning of October 24th and died just nine days later, November 2nd. From a card which I received on the morning of the day of her death she stated she felt much encouraged, so naturally when the hotel telephoned me on her death it was indeed a great shock.
Whilel Clotilde has not been well since she came up from Washington the beginning fo the year, no one had any idea her condition was as serious as it aplparently proved to be. She had been having trouble with her legs swelling, and had gone to several doctors since she had been in Philadelphia.
The funeral was held Monday in Philadelphia with interment in the family lot at Northnwood Cemetery.
She was a splendid character, and I know her passing will be a loss to all who knew her.
Clotilde had her address book with her and I had to wait until it was forwarded to me so I could go through it and look for your address in order to get your surname.
Sincerely yours,
(Miss) Mary A. Shetzline"
[This note and the letter were added here on September 3rd, 2013 by Samuel Wm. Aylesworth.]
