Frank Lebby Stanton
Frank Lebby Stanton (February 22, 1857 – January 7, 1927),〔(Stanton entry in the U.S. ''Dictionary of Literary Biography''. )〕 frequently credited as Frank L. Stanton, Frank Stanton or F. L. Stanton, was an American lyricist.
He was also the initial columnist for the ''Atlanta Constitution'' and became the first poet laureate of the State of Georgia, a post to which he was appointed by Governor Clifford Walker in 1925 and which Stanton held until his death.〔(Biographical information with Stanton's "Keep a-Goin'" poem. ) For further information see (Bookrags.com essay on Stanton ) (requires fee).〕
==Eminence==
Stanton was born in Charleston, South Carolina, to Valentine Stanton (a printer, Confederate soldier, and farmer) and his wife Catherine Rebecca Parry Stanton, whose father owned a plantation on Kiaweh Island. From early childhood he was influenced by the hymns of Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley and was reared in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. After starting school in Savannah, Georgia, Frank Lebby Stanton found his education cut off by the American Civil War. At the age of 12 he became apprenticed to a printer, a position which allowed him to enter the newspaper business. In 1887 he met Leone Josey while he was working for the ''Smithville News''; they married and, in 1888, moved to Rome, Georgia, where Frank Lebby Stanton had received an offer from John Temple Graves to serve as night editor for the ''Rome Tribune''.
With encouragement from Joel Chandler Harris, Stanton in 1889 switched to the ''Atlanta Constitution'' (where for a few months he worked for Henry W. Grady prior to Grady's death), and began to focus more on writing editorials and columns, a newspaper role which he filled from then until Stanton's death in 1927.〔Harris and Stanton shared an office on the fifth floor of the ''Atlanta Constitution'' 's building. Visitors to that office included Richard Malcolm Johnson, Hamlin Garland, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Paul Hamilton Hayne, Charles A. Dana, Joaquin Miller, James Ryder Randall, Samuel Minturn Peck, Will Hamilton Hayne, Fred Emerson Brooks, James Whitcomb Riley (whom Stanton referred to as "Jim"), and Major Charles William Hubner. For further information on Hubner see the (Oglethorpe University Hubner site. )〕 Stanton's writing became quite popular and assiduously read. His column ''News from Billville'' (later ''Up from Georgia'') forms the basis for claims that he was even the prototype for American newspaper columnists.〔(Commentary on Stanton by America.net. )〕 Frank Lebby Stanton died, aged 69, in Atlanta, Georgia. He and Leone Josey Stanton were survived by their children—Marcelle Stanton Megahee and Frank Lebby Stanton Jr.
