General Notes: Husband - Charles Eaton

---

His school privileges were limited to one term of night school, but by reading and home study he obtained a fair education. In early life he worked with his father at mat making, later he served an apprenticeship at the shoemaking trade, and followed that in addition to attending a toll gate, and subsequently was engaged in the postal service of the English government as a rural mail deliverer, continuing along this line for about eight years. In August, 1872, he emigrated from his native country to Canada, landing at Quebec; later in the same year he came to the United States, locating in Reno, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and shortly afterward brought over his wife and five of their children, the eldest son remaining in England, but in the following year he too emigrated and joined the family in Reno. Charles Eaton secured work in the oil fields, pumping wells, and at the same time worked at his trade of shoemaking. In 1891, accompanied by his wife, the two younger sons and daughter, he removed to Warren, Warren County, where he secured a position as janitor of one of the city schools, his last active work. About 1877 he became a naturalized citizen of the United States, at first casting his vote for the candidates of the Republican party, but later transferring his allegiance to the Prohibition party. In early life he was a member of the Baptist church, but there being no church of that denomination at Reno, he became affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church.
