General Notes: Husband - Ernest Edwin Eakin

---

He was born on the farm and reared there, and received his education in his home township, attending the high school. He gave all his attention to the operation of the farm, which he and his brother kept up according to the best modern ideas, proving worthy successors to their father, who took great pride in his land and fine stock. They had a valuable herd of Shorthorns, including two registered males and one female, and the prime condition of everything about the place, cattle, buildings and fields, indicated intelligent thrift and painstaking care. All of the Eakin family were active members of Amity Presbyterian Church. [CAB, 978]
