Cleo's mother would hitch up a team of horses to a buckboard each day to go out to where sheepherders had sheep in Ada County and cook for them; that is where she met George Stanton.

When Harvey returned to work on the railroad in March 1952 they moved from a farm on Crane Creek near Weiser, to Payette. Cleo worked at Plumbo Packing House in 1953 and 1954. In 1955 she went to work at the Casa Loma Convalescent Home as a nurse's aide, cleaning and cooking.
