Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

F. Eastman, now connected with the Sterling Gazette, was born in Ellisburg, N. 
Y., Nov. 11, 1844, his parents being Charles W. and Cynthia (Fiske) Eastman, 
natives of New England. He graduated at Schenectady, and taught school at 
Maquoketa, Iowa, and at different points in this county until 1872, when he 
assumed the editorship of the Red Oak (Iowa) Express. In a few months, 
however, he returned to Sterling, and was connected with the Gazette, as 
editor and proprietor, for ten years; then was engaged in banking and farming 
in Dakota for two and a half years, and finally, in 1885, he came to Sterling 
again and engaged in the Gazette office. In his political views Mr. Eastman is 
a zealous Republican and a prohibitionist. He belongs to the Christian Church 
of Sterling, of which he was one of the founders in 1875, and one of the 
Elders and Sunday-school Superintendent before he went to Dakota. He is a 
member also of the Legion of Honor, and is an influential citizen of Whiteside 
County. Mr. Eastman was married July 23, 1872, to Miss Frances Adams, of 
Sterling, who died in 1877. For his second wife Mr. E. married Myra 
Christopher, a native of Byron, Ogle Co., Ill. They have one child, born in 
the month of October, 1881.
