Virna Stanton was born in Cobourg, Ontario, the daughter of Elizabeth Butler Stanton and Eldridge Stanton, a photographer. Her brother Eldridge Stanton Jr. and his wife both died at Niagara Falls, in the Ice Bridge Disaster of 1912. She published both novels and poetry collections during her life. Her papers were destroyed by her family after her death, apparently because they disapproved of her literary work. - Summary by Wikipedia
