Mr. Eaton, who was about 75 years of age, was one of several children of Henry and Harriet Eaton of Morristown. He was born in the west part of town in what is known as Sterling, and has always resided in Morristown. About 50 years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Julia Cowley, who survives him. A son, Herbert, died in young manhood. He enlisted in the war of 1861-1865, in the 11th Vermont Co. L., Heavy Artillery, and during the service received a severe wound on the head.
Besides his wife the deceased is survived by two brothers, Frank and William Eaton of Morristown, also by a sister, Mrs. Simpson.
The deceased was a charter member of the Advent Christian Church of this village, and a regular attendant at the services as long as health permitted. Mr. Eaton was a man of many sterling qualities and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
