1 school under John E. Lowell in New Haven and to its careful training he owed a quiet studious habit even all most to the verge of retirement in his later days. Eaton had a great love for the water and was a valued member of the City Point Yacht club. From much reading and observation he gained a high conception of Christian character and closed a devoted life that adds honor to the Lyon regiment. This is what his pastor. the Rev. W. J. Mutch, of Howard avenue church, writes of him:
 New Haven, Conn, July IS. 1902. MT. Sheldon B. Thorpe, North Haven, Conn.
 Dear sir-Replying to your letter of this date, it gives me pleasure to say that my acquaintance with Mir Henry Eaton which extended over seventeen years, or during my entire pastorate with this church, was quite intimate and most highly valued. He had been member here since 1878. While he was never what might be called an active member, in the sense of serving in official positions, committees, etc, he was a regular attendant at services in the evening, and quiet appreciative listener to all that was said.
 MT. Eaton summed public gatherings especially such as would require him to meet with many people who were strangers to him. But in the little group of two or three in the back room of MT. Butricks' old drug store, or out in boat in the harbor, he was most genial and lovable companion. He had none of those conceits and tempers which so often spoil an otherwise good man. While he would be called quiet man, he was never slow in carrying his end of the conversation in the boat or over the chess board.
 He was an upright man in the strict est sense. His conscience was sensitive and it's, judgments were law to him. While he was generous in his Judg- ments of others and not given to severe criticism, he was severe in his require ments of himself in all matters of duty and neighborly obligation.
 MT. Eaton was held in high esteem by his brethren in the church for these qualities, and because he was believed to exemplify in noble manner the principles and spirit, of the Christian life. His death removes one more of that large and valued number of Grand Army men who have been so large a part of the strength of this church. But the memory of his honored life re- mains with us to enrich the traditions of our fellowship, and to make it a l +oY in r10n1J1TiOo for ric~bf = eousness the life and character of those who are here laying their youthful | foundations.
 Thanking you for the opportunity of adding these words of appreciative tes- 1 timony in memory of our friend MT. Eaton, I Hemain
 l Most sincerely yours,
