MRS. CYNTHIAS W. EATON
Mrs. Cynthias W. Eaton, widow of Harry Eaton, died at her home on South Lafayette street, Grand Rapids, March 22, 1892, at the great age of a little more than eighty-seven years. Her life, though remarkably quiet and modest, was as beautiful and useful as it was long. And a large circle of friends among the earlier residents of Grand Rapids will mourn that she preceded them, while rejoicing that she is at rest---as she desired to be---and will recount her many virtues and her splendid example and counsel with strong expressions of esteem and affection.

Mrs. Eaton was one of a large family of children born to General Solomon Hunt, a distinguished officer of the War of 1812, whose home was on a farm near Brattleboro, Vermont. She was born Jan. 5, 1808, and married Harry Eaton when about twenty years old, at her father's home. Shortly after the wedding they came to Jamestown, N. Y., and lived there several years. In 1836 Mr. Eaton came west on a prospecting tour, decided to make Grand Rapids his home, and in 1838 they left Dunkirk, N.Y., in one of the first steamers that ever plied on the lakes, in which they came to Chicago, thence by sailing vessel to Grand Haven, and thence by one of the first river steamers up to the village of Kent (1).  Here she has lived ever since, seeing the hamlet of a few hundred people grow into a city of 80,000 population, and feeling that her family have been factors in this growth, for her husband was one of the first officers of the county and a man who was highly esteemed. He preceded her in death more than thirty years, in 1859. She was one of the original members of the First, now the Park Congregational church, and has ever lived consistently with her profession. Of later years, because of the infirmities of her great age, she has been compelled to remain in her home, but while anxious to rest from her labors, has ever been cheerful and patient.

She leaves three sons, Charles W. Eaton, senior of the jobbing and retail firm of Eaton, Lyon & Co., of Grand Rapids, who has devoted his life to her for many years, with a rare and beautiful fidelity which attests to strong affection she inspired; Theodore C., of St. Louis, and Henry S. Eaton, of Duluth. A son and an infant daughter preceded her in death. A younger sister, Mrs. Bilius Stocking, of Grand Rapids, also survives.
