EDWARD EATON, son of Dea. Ebenezer and Amy (Walker) Eaton, was born Nov. 28, 
1818, in Framingham, Mass., but came early in life to Medway, and lived with 
his grandfather until the death of Mr. Walker in 1840. He inherited the estate 
of his grandfather, where he afterwards resided. He engaged in the teaming and 
express business under the firm name of Baker & Eaton. Afterwards he engaged 
in the manufacture of batting with Mr. Alfred Daniels until Mr. Daniels' 
death, when he formed a partnership with Mr. E. C. Wilson for the manufacture 
of batting and wadding, which was continued until his death, which occurred 
Aug. 31, 1883. He was a man of great activity and business energy, and became 
one of the most successful manufacturers. The Village had frequent occasions 
to acknowledge his liberality for religious and charitable interests as well 
as for other objects of public benefit. He was on the board of selectmen, and 
in 1873 represented the town in the State Legislature. He married, March 25, 
1841, Sarah Ann Harding, daughter of Seth and Mary (Learnard) Harding. There 
were no children. Mr. Eaton's death was a great public loss.
