Montezuma Journal, June 16, 1905, page 1, column 3
Died - June 2, 1905, of paralysis, at Rocky Glen farm, Arriola. Mr. Henry 
Daines Eaton, in the seventy-second year of his life. Mr. Eaton was born Sept. 
17, 1833, in Cortlandt Co., New York. In 1836, his parents removed to Carroll 
Co., Illinois where he grew to manhood. Dec 24, 1862, he married Lina Monroe 
and their union was blessed with seven children. His wife, four sons and one 
daughter are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. He came of 
an old colonial family, his ancestor, John Eaton, of England having settled in 
Dedham, Mass in 1635. Of the many descendants of John Easton some have been 
high in the army, the pulpit and in learned pursuits. More have been farmers 
and all have been, like the subject of this sketch, patriotic lovers of their 
country. His grandfather served in the revolution, his father in the war of 
1812, and the army roll of the civil war contains the names of many Eatons. He 
deeply appreciated the kindness of friends and neighbors who tried to help in 
every way during his last illness. A firm believer in the doctrine of 
universal salvation, he trusted in the love and mercy of a just and loving 
Heavenly Father. The rule of his life was the Golden Rule and he loved all 
things good and true. Peace to his pure spirit, to his worn and tired body 
rest.
