Charles T. Eames commanded the Light-Infantry Company, styled "The Lafayette Guards," in 1832, being its 3d captain in succession. He was a skil- ful cabinet-maker in various productions, and for a long time supplied to our population most of their coffins for the dead. He dwelt just east of the mill-pond on Main St. He and his family were of reputable rank. Mrs. Amelia, his 1st wf., d. May 11, 1845; and he m., 2d, Martha Jones of Framing- ham, Sept. 16, 1847.

Mr. Eames was a worthy mechanic, cabinet-maker, and joiner, I think, who dwelt on Beach St. He d. suddenly March 30, 1854, in consequence of a fatal injury recd. as fireman during the operations of the department at a fire on the evening of the 29th. He left his wf. and 3 chn. in great affliction, and was honored with a large and sympathetic funeral in the Cong. Ch, His wid., after many afflictions, d. Sept. 5, 1879.

Mr. Eames dwelt on his fr.'s place, 34 Beach St., followed substantially the same vocation, and was a worthy man in the various relations of life. Like his fr., he served faithfully for many yrs. as a fireman. Like his fr., too, she came to an untimely end, though in a different way. He had lost both his chn., was partially out of business; and one cold winter day took a fancy to fish in Beaver Pond for pickerel, through the ice. The pond was 2 miles or more from his home. He spent the day there, and, when on the way back, in the evening, suddenly fell to the ground, and became helpless. Whether from exhaustion he stumbled, and was stunned by his fall, so that the cold completed his prostration, or whether he was seized by a fit of some kind, could only be conjectured. He was found powerless in the road about 11 o'clock, and borne

All the fire-companies attended his funeral on the Sunday following at the Universalist Ch., where appropriate services were rendered amid the general sympathy. His broken-spirited wid. survived at my last advices.
EAMES, LEONARD, a descendant of Thomas, but whose intermediate ptge. I have not ascertained; a bootmaker; res. many yrs. in town. I have failed to obtain his family record, and, therefore, cannot give its data.

Justin E. Eames purchased the ancient Ichabod Thayer farm, perhaps in 1847. That farm, in part, was sold by John Bruce to Ebenezer Cheney in 1730. Cheney d., and left it, much enlarged, to his wid., Hannah (Bigelow) Cheney and infant dr. Silence. Ichabod Thayer m. the wid., and bought the place. He lived and d. on it. So did his son Elijah, and so did his son Arte- mas. Then it passed into Mr. Eames's hands, and is now the inheritance of his son, Justin H. Eames, and the other heirs. Worthy people all. Justin E. Eames was a prudent, thrifty, genial farmer, well esteemed by his fellow-citi- zens. He passed away but a short time since, and will be favorably remembered by most of my town readers. He d. May 27, 1879. His respected wid., and the 5 chn. above named, survive him.

The hus. and fr. perished in a snow-storm, frozen to death, Dec. 23, 1858. His worthy wid. bore up bravely under her sorrows, and trained her 7 living chn. to usefulness. She still survives, dwelling on West St., near Union. George Augustus lost his life for his country during the war of the Rebellion. He d. in Louisville, Ky., Aug. 16, 1863. He wrote home often; and his mr. has numerous interesting letters from him, which she preserves as cherished keep- sakes, Hiram W. resides in Hyde Park.

EASTMAN, THOMAS CROCKER, son of Thomas and Mary (Wilder) Eastman, b. in Dennysville, Me., Jan. 6, 1836; m. Sarah A. Gardner, dr. of Eben and Hannah (Wilder) Gardner, b. in Dennysville, Me., Dee. 8, 1842; cer. Den- nysville, Me., Dec. 4, 1865, by Rev. Charles Whittier. Their chn .:-

CHARLES T., b. Feb. 9, 1876.
CROCKER W., b. April, 1878.
Mr. E.'s res. in town dates back 12 yrs., or thereabouts, as I infer from our directories. He has been mostly engaged in the manufacture of boot- boxes, to which he has latterly added an interest in the flour and grain trade. Formerly he had much experience in foreign parts as a business agent, as far off as British India. Concerning these far-off experiences, he can relate many interesting details. He is much devoted to the Masonic institution, and enjoys the respectful confidence of his brethren. I am not familiar with his other relationships in society, or those of his family, but presume they are all reputable.

Mr. E. is several yrs. the junior of Thomas C., as also in his citizenship here. He is a respectable grocer, stands high in Masonry, and, with his wf., sustains a good social standing.
EASTMAN, JOSEPH STEPHENS, son of John and Elmira (Stephens) Eastman; ancestry no further traced; b. in North Conway, N.H., a tin and sheet-iron worker in Mil. and Hop. He became known to me at the age of 45 yrs., on the occasion of his 2d mge., which he called on me to solemnize, at Hope- dale, Sept. 2, 1867. He m.

I have no knowledge, except what came to me in the town-clerk's certifi- cate at the mge. of his dr. ALMIRA SWEETLAND EASTMAN to Eugene Thornton Adams, in Mil., Aug. 5, 1875. From that I learned that her mr.'s maiden name was Abbie Maria Sweetland. I presume there were other chn. besides Almira, but I am unable to give names or birth-dates. Mr. Eastman soon became feeble in health, and at length d., Jan. 5, 1875; and I ministered at his obsequies. Mrs. F. E. Eastman, his worthy wid., is one of our first-rate dressmakers; res. at 114} Main St.
EATON, Rev. HENRY A .; m. Susan R. Eaton; but I am unable to give their birth-dates, ptge., or any particulars of their mge. He was a Universalist clergyman of excellent character and talents, and had a very successful pastorate of several yrs. in this town. He was gifted in the pulpit, and sympathetically magnetic as a pastor. Under his popular ministrations the church organization in Milford Universalist Society was formed, and the present Pearl-st. ch. edifice built. See the chap. on Religious Societies, in which our Universalist Society, its succession of ministers, and other historic matters, are set forth. They never had a more faithful or successful pastor. The health of both his wf. and himself broke down while in the prime of their usefulness, and they passed on to the immortal mansions in the ful- ness of hope. She preceded him 5 yrs. He d. in Worcester, May 26, 1861. By hls dying request I ministered at his funeral. The remains of both repose, side by side, in Melrose cemetery. They left 2 chn., -

EDSON, NATHANIEL, and wf. Betsey, from West Bridgewater, were of the
Hopedale Community for some yrs. They came in 1846, and left in 1850. With them came their son Horatio and dr. Malvina. They had older chn. m. and set. elsewhere. I have no means of giving the birth-dates of either parents or chn. They were all worthy people. Horatio Edson was an enterprising carpenter. He m., while here, Louisa M.

They all left Hopedale in 1850 for Olean, N. Y. There Nathaniel Edson and his son Horatio both d. at different dates, which I have not at command. The subsequent history of their survivors is too imperfectly within my knowledge to attempt giving.
ELDREDGE. Our few Eldredges are from the south-eastern shores of the State, - Nantucket, New Bedford, and the adjacent regions.
ELDREDGE, DAVID P .; ancestry not traced; son of James Taber and Deborah (Pinkham) Eldredge; b. Nantucket, March 6, 1816; m. Phebe Ann Macy, dr. of Frederick C. and Lydia B. Macy, b. Nantucket, Dec. 4, 1823; cer. in Nan- tucket, April 25, 1844, by Rev. David Patt. An only dr. reported, - EMMA, b. Nantucket, Oct. 3, 1855.
Mr. Eldredge followed the sea, in the whaling business, for many yrs .; commencing as sailor, and rising, grade after grade, to be master. He sailed from Nantucket, New Bedford, and Boston, at different times, and was in- trusted with large responsibilities. At length he relinquished his seafaring life for pursuits on land. He came to Mil. in July, 1855. He and his bro. James T. do business, as roofers and concrete-walk layers, under the firm name, "D. P. & J. T. Eldredge." Capt. Eldredge informs me that his parents had 11 chn., all of whom are living but one; the youngest being now 46 yrs. of age. He also informs me that his wf.'s parents, Frederick C. Macy and wf., moved to Mil. from Nantucket in 1853; which prob. induced him to follow with his family in 1855. I have taken for granted that -
ELDREDGE, JAMES T., is bro. to D. P .; though he made no response to the blank family record I mailed him. I am obliged, therefore, to leave his wf. and chn., if he has any, unregistered in this work. Also I am obliged to leave out those of -
ELDREDGE, JOHN W., partner in the firm of "Eldredge & Beattey," house- painters, who declined my call for family record.
ELDRIDGE, J. AUSTIN, machinist, h. 3 Fruit St., might have been more com- municative if I had served him with a blank, which it was my fault to omit; as various circumstances have seemed to necessitate my doing in hundreds of other cases.
ELDRIDGE, RUFUS COFFIN, made return as follows : son of Thomas M. and Ann M. (Haynes) Eldridge; b. Monument (a post-village in Barnstable Co.), Sept. 19, 1835; jeweller, etc .; m. Emily Adalaide Rice, dr. of John, 2d, and Susan Weatherbee (Knowlton) Rice, b. Northbridge, Dec. 1, 1838; cer. in Worcester, March 4, 1861, by Rev. L. M. Burrington. Their chn. :- JOHN RICE, b. Sept. 19, 1864.
RUFUS EUGENE, b. Feb. 14, 1866.
EMILY LOUISE, b. Nov. 30, 1870.
Mr. Eldridge does not report the date of his coming to Mil., but I judge him to have been here at least 15 yrs. His watch and jewelry establishment are familiar to our present population. His business enterprise and integrity command just respect; so does the social standing of himself and family.
