General Notes: Husband - David D. Eakin

---

He was educated in the local schools of Irwin Twp and became familiar with farm work from early boyhood, helping on the home place as soon as he could be of any use. During his young manhood he spent several years in the Middle West, and he enlisted for service in the Civil war from Illinois, joining Company K, 30th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, with which he served a year and a half, until the close of the conflict. He was with Sherman on his famous march to the sea, took part in the Grand Review at Washington, and though never wounded spent some time in hospital, his health being seriously affected by the hardships of his military experience.
After spending a few years in Ohio, near Columbus, where his brother John J. Eakin lived, David D. Eakin returned to the home farm and took charge of its cultivation, caring for his parents in their declining years. His mother died shortly after he came back. Mr. Eakin was progressive by nature, and though he attended diligently to his private interests, which he maintained in thriving condition, he also gave considerable attention to matters of general concern, having up-to-date ideas on the equal responsibility of all citizens for the general welfare. A Democrat on political questions in early life, he later joined the Prohibition Party. He served his township for some years in the capacity of assessor, was a valued member and officer of the Amity Presbyterian Church, and was one of the organizers of the Mount Irwin Cemetery Association, of which he was president for years, working conscientiously for its success. By virtue of his Civil war service he belonged to the G. A. R., affiliating with the post at Clintonville. [CAB, 978]
