EATON, George W. 
(1849-1906) Keowee Courier December 12, 1906, George W. Eaton died at 
his home in Walhalla yesterday morning, December 11th, at 9:30 o'clock,
in the 57th year of his age. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Eaton, 
both now dead. Mr. Eaton had been an almost constant sufferer for more
than a year, though his health began failing several years ago. He 
was a native of this county, having been born near Pleasant Hill 
church, July 25th, 1849. On October 7th, 1865, he was happily married 
to Mrs. Lucinda McGuffin, nee Hull, who survives him. Mr. Eaton was 
for years a merchant in Walhalla, but some years ago retired from that 
business and opened a photograph gallery, which business he conducted,
when his health would permit, until his death. He was a member of the 
Walhalla Baptist Church, and in his frequent conversations with his 
pastor, Rev. G. H. Judd, during his last illness, he talked freely in 
regard to the future and expressed a saving faith in Christ and ta 
desire to be at rest. His long suffering was borne patiently. He 
leaves a wife and niece, Miss Anna Brewer, to mourn his death, to 
whom in their sorrow the sympathy of many friends goes out. The 
furneral services will be conducted this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock 
from his late residence. The interment will be at the Baptist cemetery 
immediately after the services at the house. Contributed by: Susan
