It all started with Fred G. Stanton. Seeing that many friends and neighbors needed insurance protection, Fred founded Stanton Insurance Agency in 1919. This was before cell phones, the internet, computers, or even fax machines. The first copier wouldn’t be introduced for 40 years. These were the days of heavy rate books and carbon-copies, back when more business was conducted in the homes of a client than in an office. After World War II, Fred’s three sons Carter, Jonathan, and Donald Stanton joined the business. In 1975, Donald’s son Russ Stanton became a licensed insurance agent, joining the agency in 1977. His son Jeff Stanton graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in insurance and joined the agency in 2003. Jeff specializes in Farm, Crop, and Commercial Insurance. His sister, Jenna Stanton Clayton, became the newest agent, joining the agency in 2013. Jenna specializes in Home and Auto Insurance. Today, both Jeff and Jenna are agency principals.

Award Winning
From laptops to smartphones, we have tools that make it easy to deliver quick, accurate, and efficient service. What used to take days can now be accomplished in seconds.
Stanton Insurance Agency employs the latest technologies to deliver world-class service to our customers. HOWEVER…we have never, nor will we ever substitute personal service with technology. We still believe in the value of a handshake, the reassurance of a smile, and the ability to do business with someone you know. Computers are great for sharing information…but they don’t build relationships. It takes people to deliver truly personal service, and that’s how we do business at Stanton Insurance Agency.
However, that’s not what we’re about. We have never wanted to rely on anyone else to establish the level of personal service we believe our customers deserve. While most agencies are telling their customers to call an 800 number when they have a claim or other issue, we become personally involved. We believe the only way to establish trust with you is to prove that we’re trustworthy, and that means treating your concerns like our own. If you have a problem, it automatically becomes our problem, too, and we do all we can to fix it.
For instance: when your rates increase, most agencies do nothing until you bring it to their attention. At Stanton Insurance Agency, we review policy renewals to catch any premium increases. If there’s an increase, we shop our network of carriers to find a lower rate for you. It’s all part of being proactive rather than reactive. That’s personal service. That’s Stanton Insurance Agency.
