General Notes: Husband - Herbert George Eaton


He was six years of age when his mother emigrated to the United States from their home in Clapham, Bedfordshire, England, her husband having preceded her by one year. He attended the public schools of Reno and the Oil City high school. He then entered the employ of the Reno Provision Company, gaining an insight in the mercantile business, and from February, 1887, until the fall of 1890, he had charge of the business of said firm. He then accepted a position with the Oil City Tube Mills, and in the spring of 1891 located in Warren and became identified with the Glade Oil Works, serving in the capacity of chemist and oil tester until December 1, 1900, at which time he was appointed manager, secretary and treasurer of the Superior Oil Works, Limited, one of the leading enterprises of Warren. He had an interest in the Mutual Refining Company, of Warren, of which he was manager; was president of the Conewango Trust Company, serving beginning from its incorporation; was recording secretary of the National Petroleum Association, of Cleveland, Ohio; and held stock in many organizations of local importance. He was elected to the office of borough councilman, in which he served two years, resigning in November, 1908, when elected burgess of Warren. He was a member and steward of the Methodist Episcopal church, and was chairman of the committee that raised the funds to erect the new building of the Young Men's Christian Association, in 1912, he being an active factor in the affairs of that body. He was a member of the Conewango Club, and also of many other social organizations.
