EATON FIGURES IN HISTORY
OF NORTHWESTERN PIONEERS

The very first cabin in Eaton was
built by John Mills, assisted ONLY by
Mary, his wife. 1t was a light and
temporary structure made of the small
timbers the two could handle, and was
located at the corner of Main and
Beech streets. A year or so later
Mills built more commidious log
home on another site. Mills arrived
on April 1, and on the following day
came David E. Hendricks, with enc or
two sons. Mills remained in Eaton
less than three years, and the Hen
bricks family was the first to become
permanent and honored settlers in the
new village. Hendricks built a two
story log house which stood for many
years. 1t is OF record, however that
the first white child born in Eaton was
Polly Mills. This was in 1906, and a
deed to lot was made out to the
baby by Bruce, founder of the village.
This ancient deed was dug up re-
Gently in the work of clearing up title
to some property in transfer. This
lot is located short distance south
of the new court house.
The founder of Eaton evidently was
hustler, for he advertised a public
sale of lots for May /, 1906, and had
number of buyers on the ground.
But even earlier than that he had
four men at work building mill
race. Bruce's two sons arrived on
May l to attend the sale and to take
part in the development of this part
of the country. Sixteen cabins were
built during the summer and Eaton
has ever since had its place in the
sun.
John Barleycorn, one of the oldest
of old settlers the world over, came
early to Eaton. He was guest at
Col. Hawkins Tavern" in 1870. To
make it easy to meet Mr.. Barleycorn,
the Log rolling" cleared Main street
from the town to the creek.

Fiiue Hundred Thousand
German Soldiers Under
Arms, Declares Expert

LONDON, Thursday, Jan. 10
There may be 100000 German soldiers
still under arms, according to esti-
mates of military experts of the Brit
ish army. The situation in Germany
is very uncertain, however, and it
may be that the men still with the
German colors may number far above
the estimate.
Saguld Premier Ebert maintain the
upper hand in Germany the men still
held in the army would be freed, it is
believed. On the other hand. it is
pointed out, Bolshevist triumph in
Germany would result in a serious sit

1y WILLIAM S. sANBoRN

EATON, O., Jan. 20-This ancient
town and historic old county loom
large in the annals of the Ohio pio-
neers who made their homes in the
wilderness which later became Preble
county.
When one contemplates the hard
ships these sturdy settlers injured;
the patient labor with which they
made the first little clearings around
their rude log homes; their danger
from Indians, and their sturdy, old
fashioned zeal and piety, he is the
more inclined to enlarge upon their
virtues and to cherish their memo
ries. They were courageous and ven
turesome, and above all, God-fearing
and patriotic. They built school
houses and meeting houses wherever
they built cabins, and lived their sim
pie lives in a peaceful, neighborly and
helpful way. They laid the enduring
foundation upon which their sons have
builded and on which coming gen.
erations will continue to build and to
flourish.
Historic Names.
The pioneers were brave and pat
riotic. They honored the names and
memories of the great soldiers and
statesmen of the Revolution, these
men who chopped Preble county out
of the world-old forests. They named
the county in honor Of Commodore
Preble, whose daring exploits form SO
large a part of the history of the
American Navy in its earliest days.
And more than this, Eaton was named
to commemorate the now historic
Of he
served when boy with the Contin-
entails. Eaton was born at Wood
stock, Conn, in 1854, and became
famed as fighter. both at home and
abroad. He was fighting out in this
section in 179 and served as a captain
under Gen. Anthony Wayne for some
years in the Conquest of the Indians
Eaton was sent as Consul to Tunis
in 1898, and later commanded the
American and allied forces in our
war on Tripoli and the Barbary pir-
ates, in which Commodore Preble
played such large part. General
Eaton died sincerely mourned in 1911,
five years after the town named in his
honor was plated by William Bruce
who came here from Kentucky to spy
out the land in 1905. Bruce purchased
three sections of land, and in the win
ter of 1866, laid out the present
town site and the plat was recorded
at Dayton, on Feb. 20, 1906.
The founder of Eaton was a man OF
vision. He looked forward to a town
of Importance, place Of many homes
and a center of trade. He laid out
broad streets and set aside lots for
schools and churches, also gave the
community ground for a public square
or park. Settlers locked in and as
early as the summer of 1897, the pio-
neers had a log rolling to clear a
block or two on Main street.
