AMOS HERRICK EATON
Who died March 31st, 1910, was the son of Rev. Herrick M. and Joanna (Hopkins) Eaton and was born in Camden, Maine, July 2, 1843.
He was educated in the public schools, the Maine Wesleyan Seminary, the Eaton Family school at Kent's Hill, and at Gould Academy.
At the age of 16 he began teaching in Titcomb Academy, Belgrade, Maine, and in 1861 took charge of the Eaton Fam- .ily School where he remained two years.
He then entered his father's store and afterwards became a travelling salesman.
After two years' service there Mr. Eaton joined with an older brother in opening the Eaton Family and Day School at Norridgewock.
For three years Mr. Eaton served as Superintendent of Schools for Somerset County, Maine by appointment of Gov. Chamberlain, and, at the end of that time, took charge of Hartland Academy which he conducted some time.
In 1874 Mr. Eaton came to Middleboro and purchased the school of P. L. Cushing on East Grove Street which he con- ducted for nearly twenty-five years. He was an ideal teach- er, a great lover of good books, a fine scholar himself, broad- ly sympathetic in the hopes and ambitions of his pupils he won their affection to a degree rarely enjoyed by a teacher.
In March, 1898, Mr. Eaton was elected Town Clerk, Treas- urer and Collector, these offices coming to him unsought, and he continued to fill them, by almost unanimous consent, as long as he lived. He was peculiarly fitted to hold these of- fices not only because of his experience and training but for his wonderful ability in dealing with the public.
Mr. Eaton was much interested in the construction and main- tenance of the Water Works and in 1891 was elected to the Board of Water Commissioners which position he held until his death, being Chairman of the Board for fifteen years.
4
He also served upon the Board of Engineers for the District and, for several years, as Auditor for the Town.
He had been a member of Mayflower Lodge, A. F. and A. M. for more than thirty years. He was also a member of Len- hart Lodge, A. O. U. W. and of Nemasket Grange.
He was one of the founders of the Town Clerks' Associa- tion of Plymouth and Barnstable Counties and was held in the highest esteem by his associates.
Mr. Eaton was greatly interested in the Unitarian Society, was one of its earliest members, and for seventeen years was President of the Society. For many years he was also Super- intendent of the Sunday School, and, in the general work of the Society, his advice and counsel were of great value.
Those who enjoyed the acquaintance,of Mr. Eaton entertain- ed for him a most profound respect. Endowed with superior mental attainments, together with a certain charm of man- ner and a buoyant optimistic spirit he was a most compan- ionable man.
It was said of Mr. Eaton that, if one's true wealth is measured by his friends, then he was the wealthiest man in this vicinity.
The memory of 'his life is certainly an inspiration. .
