HISTORY OF SUTTON.


Lucien Bonaparte Eaton was so named for his father's brother. He worked on the farm, attending the common school in the Eaton district, and sometimes in the Morgan district, and in the Gore until fifteen years of age, when he went to the academy at Thet- ford, Vt. He afterwards attended the academy at Orford a couple of terms. He entered Phillips academy at Andover, Mass., in 1854, and graduated in 1855, and thereupon entered Dartmouth college and graduated in 1859. While in college he taught school winters. He spent the fall of 1859 reading law with Hon. George Collamer, at Woodstock, Vt. In December, 1859, he became prin- cipal of the Hudson Street grammar school, in Cleveland, Ohio. Early in October, 1861, he resigned and entered the 65th Ohio Vol. Infantry as a second lieutenant. The teachers of Cleveland pre- sented him with a sword. He raised a part of a company in Cleve- land, and, reporting to his regiment at Mansfield, Ohio, was com- missioned first lieutenant. His regiment served with the "Army of the Cumberland." He participated in nearly all the campaigns and battles in which that army was engaged. He was at the battles of Shiloh, Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, New Hope Church, and many skir- mishes and minor engagements. After the battle at Stone River he was commissioned captain, and served as brigade inspector on the staff of Gen. Charles G. Harker, who was killed at Kenesaw Moun- tain. In 1864, just before the last named battle, having been appointed lieutenant-colonel of the 69th U. S. C. Q., he was ordered to Arkansas, and was afterward appointed colonel of that regiment. He served as inspector of the freedmen's department for that state.


At the close of the war he settled in Memphis. He became inter- ested in mercantile houses in Memphis and Lagrange, Tenn., and in Corinth, Miss., but devoted himself to the study of the law. In 1866 he joined his brother, Gen. John Eaton, then editing and pub- lishing the Memphis Daily Post, as an assistant, and in 1867, on Gen. Eaton's being elected state superintendent of public instruc- tion for Tennessee, he became editorial and business manager of the Post. In 1868 he was elected and served as a member of the board of education for the city of Memphis. Early in 1870 the Post was discontinued, and he was appointed by President U. S. Grant United States marshal for the western district of Tennessee, and served till April, 1877, when he resigned. His term of service as U. S. marshal was during the reconstruction and ku-klux era, and

four of his deputy marshals were killed. In 1872 he was admitted to the bar ; in 1877 he began the active practice of his profession. He, however, devoted much of his time to the purchase and im- provement of real estate. He was one of the very few who had the courage to buy real estate in Memphis after the great yellow fever epidemics of 1878 and '79. He now owns several thousand acres of cotton lands in Shelby county, and hundreds of houses in the city of Memphis, and has one of the largest rent-rolls of any of the capitalists of Memphis. He is the head of the firm of L. B. Eaton & Co., the owners of the oldest office furnishing abstracts of titles to lands in Memphis and Shelby counties, and of the firm of Eaton & Smith, lumber dealers. He is a member of the Knights of Honor, of the Historical Society, of the American Public Health Association, and of the American Social Science Congress.


In 1880 he was elected and served as representative in the state legislature, and in 1882 was a Republican candidate for state sena- tor, but was defeated. In 1888 he was nominated as the Republi- can candidate for congress in the Tenth Congressional District of Tennessee, and was undoubtedly elected, but was counted out. He has taken proof and filed his brief in the contest for his seat in con- gress, and is confident of securing it.

The expense of his éducation was paid by his brother Frederick and by a small bequest left by his mother to aid in the education of all her chil- dren.


He studied law in Michigan university 1865 and 1866 ; in 1866-'68 he resided in Memphis, and was connected with the Memphis Daily

Lucretia Kimball Eaton, b. March 12, 1803, was for some time engaged in the millinery business in Warner. She was a a devoted sister, and spent many years in the home of her brother, Dr. Jacob S. Eaton, of Bristol, and two years with her brother, Lucien B. Eaton, at Fremont, Ind. She died at the residence of her brother, Dr. Jacob S. Eaton, at Harvard, Mass., July 13, 1881. She was a woman of delicate health, but of superior mental attainments.


Jacob Sawyer Eaton, b. Jan. 4, 1805, pursued studies preparatory to college under Rev. Dr. Woods and Rev. Mr. Kelley, but decid- ing to enter the medical profession without a collegiate course he entered the office of Dr. Buswell, of Warner, and attended lectures at medical colleges at Hanover, and at Philadelphia, Penn. He began the practice of medicine at Alexandria, and afterward, on a general invitation of the townspeople, removed to Bristol, where he remained twenty-four years, very successful in his profession, and greatly beloved by all who knew him. For the health of his family in 1855 he removed to Stowe, Mass., and afterward to South Deer- field and Harvard, Mass., where he spent his old age in the sur- prising possession of all his faculties. With a rare enjoyment of elegant literature, with a brilliant imagination, with a heart full of sympathy for all the trying conditions of humanity, he was always at the front on all questions of reform. Early consecrating him- self to the service of his Divine Master, he was prominent and active in the various departments of church work. Quick and ten- der in his sympathies for his kindred, he was among them an ac- knowledged and cherished patriarch. The annual gatherings at Eaton Grange have been incomplete without his presence.

was ordained pastor of the Sixth Street Presbyterian church, New York city, in June, 1843. In June, 1848, he became pastor of the Presbyterian church at Palmyra, N. Y.


He travelled while officiating at Palmyra through Europe, the Holy Land, and Egypt, and made a second visit to Europe. He wrote much for the press, and published many sermons. In the exactness to which he held himself in all high duties he was the Puritan of the Puritans, but in the genial overflow of all that was innocent in wit and humor and friendly intercourse, he was the cavalier of the cavaliers. His devotion to his mother and to his kindred was unsurpassed. He was respected as a father in the church by his fellow-clergymen. He maintained his thorough schol- arship in the classics and in Hebrew until his old age. Dartmouth college conferred the honorary degree of D. D. upon him in 1869. He d. Oct. 21, 1883, greatly beloved by his parish and all his towns- people. During his funeral all business houses in Palmyra were closed.

Eli- jah Eaton and wife lived a few years in Haverhill, Mass. Early in the first years of the present century they moved to Sutton and located on the eastern slope of Kimball's hill. Elijah, though not as tall, was like his brother John in great strength, and like his brother Nathaniel in agility : he could outstrip younger men in a foot-race. With these physical gifts was blended an earnest, de- voted piety. He was styled the "peacemaker." He was the scholar of his family. In early life he began the study of medicine, but not believing in the practice of those days he conscientiously abandoned it. He was a Baptist. His sons, Ariel Kendrick and Pelatiah Chapin, were named for ministers of that denomination. His sons Jubal, Elijah, Nathaniel, and Carlos became members of the Baptist church. He d. Sept. 6, 1818.

NOTE. It is related in connection with the conversion of Rev. William Taylor, that when he became duly impressed with the need of forgiveness for his sins, living with his father at the corner of the road near Potash hill, he struggled to quiet his con- science until into the night, but could not. He felt the disapproval of any misconduct, by no one in the neighborhood so much as that of Elijah Eaton, yet in his distress his thoughts turned specially to the good man, and gathering courage in the darkness of the midnight hours, he wended his way over the hill to Mr. Eaton's. He rapped on the door. Mr. Eaton came at once, light in hand, for he was engaged, as was his cus- om, in the reading of the scriptures and in prayer.
