He has been unconscious since Friday, and his death is looked for at any time. Later - His death occurred at 12 o'clock today. The Clinton Herald Tuesday March 5, 1889 p. 3 Lyons As was noticed in Monday's Herald, Mr. Elijah Buell, the man who first located in this vicinity, died at his residence Monday afternoon, after being unconscious for several days. Elijah Buell was the son of Japeth and Rachael Buell, the former a soldier of the war of 1812, and on the first day of April, 1801, the subject of this sketch came to bless their union. His paths were from the first cast in rough places as his father received a gun shot wound in the leg, during the war of 1812, and when but a lad in his teens Elijah was obliged to shift for himself, and by so doing laid the foundation for the indomitable will he has shown during his residence of fifty four years in this county. When less than sixteen years of age he was employed in the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio, to which place he had drifted, in clearing off a small tract of land, but afterwards turned his attention to navigation, and was for a period of nearly seventeen years employed on steam and sailing boats on the great lakes or on the Mississippi river, finally locating in 1835 at the point where Lyons now stands on the Mississippi river, where he took up six hundred acres of land, located in the eastern part of this county. Mr. Buell was one of the first commissioners elected in the county, and for several years filled the position of Alderman. He was a man of great force of character, just in his dealings with others, and had a positiveness of disposition which made him a firm friend and unrelenting enemy. For the past dozen years he had been living in quiet at his handsome home in this city, surrounded by members of his family, who were present at his last hours. Deceased had been twice married, his first wife being Caroline Boyd, who bore him two children - Robert, who died in January, 1888, and Strong, who is now at home. His second wife was Mary L. Pearce, and by her has born Mrs. W.D. Eaton, of this city; Mrs. A.D. Gaston, of Marshalltown; George P., of Paulina, Iowa; Mrs. C.A. Hobein, of Cedar Rapids; Lang, on the farm west of Lyons, and William E., living at home. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, from his residence on Ninth street. The Clinton Herald Wednesday February 15, 1928 p. 8 A recent real estate transaction which promises to develop into a building project of considerable size, was the purchase by John Struve of the old Elijah Buell homestead at the northeast corner of Twenty fifth avenue, North and North Third street. The purchase includes the half block of ground on which the building is located. The site is one of the most beautiful in the city and the old Buell home, erected by Elijah Buell, founder of the city of Lyons, has always been one of the historic spots along the Mississippi. It is located on one of the highest points and is visible for a great distance. Of recent years the adjoining property has been filled in and brought up to the new street grade, making it a very desirable location for new residences. Mr. Struve's plans call for the immediate remodeling and the building of an addition to the old homestead, converting it into modern apartments. Plans are now under consideration for the building of six bungalows on the lots facing North Third street, and Twenty fifth avenue North. The project when completed will be a noteworthy improvement to that section of the residence district, which has been rapidly improving since the paving of North Third street and Pershing boulevard.

Buell, widow of the late Elijah Buell, the first white settler of Clinton county and the founder of the city of Lyons, passed her 87th birthday yesterday at her home on North Ninth street. Many of her old friends called upon her during the day and she was the recipient of many kind remembrances from them. Obituary: The Clinton Herald Friday June 28, 1912 p. 8 One of the most highly respected residents of this city and Clinton county, Mrs. Mary L. Buell, widow of the late Elijah Buell, first resident of Clinton county, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.D. Eaton, in Ninth street, Thursday night at 9 o'clock after a lingering illness of about two years of a complication of diseases incident to old age. The Buell family is probably one of the most important in the county and is widely known among the residents in this vicinity. The funeral will probably be held Sunday afternoon from the Eaton residence and interment will be in Oakland cemetery. The deceased was born in Kingston, R. I., March 5, 1820, and when young she accompanied her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan L. and Mary E. Pearce and several brothers and sisters west, traveling overland as the travelers of the olden times did, with ox team and covered wagon. Clinton was known as New York, Iowa territory, when Mary L. Pearce and Elijah Buell, the first settler of Clinton county, were married, May 20, 1841. Mr. Buell had come to Clinton in 1835. He death occurred twenty two years ago. Mrs. Buell has often told of their early trip to Iowa. They left Fall River, June 8, 1838, on a sloop, the Candace. Captain Brown, whose ship, good wife and fair daughter all bore the same name. A stop at Newport, and then the rough trip around Poinit Judith, that made them seasick, and then a four days run to New York. Their "first ride on the cars" was from Amboy to Camden, and then cars and canal boarts alternatively to Pittsburg, from where they descended the Ohio river by steamer to St. Mary's Landing, St. Francisco county, Mo. There they spent the Fourth of July, and several days, as they had to send for a team with which to complete their journey to their destination, fifty miles from the river. The Pearce family stayed a few months near the Iron mountain, and then "trecked" with an ox team, via St. Louis, and up the river on the Illinois side, to Fulton. There they stopped, crossed the river on a scow, and Mr. Pearce bought and in due time entered a claim in the heart of the present city of Clinton. Elijah Buell, the first settler of Clinton county, was from New York state, then of Cleveland, a sailor on the lakes, and was said to have been on the first schooner to enter Chicago harbor; later the second mate on a Mississippi river steamboat running between St. Louis and Galena; selected the promising bottom on the west side of the river at the nearest point to Chicago, setted thereon, and sent for his family - his first wife and son. In a few years he and Dennis Warren platted a town and named it Lyons, where he lived until his death. Mr. Buell was a positive, rugged character, a typical pioneer, with all the merits and some of the faults of his class - fearing neither white man, Indian or wild beast. The town grew, and in time he reaped the reward of those who labor and also wait; and through suffering losses and disappointments, was able through twenty years of rheumatic inaction to enjoy the fruits of foresight and industry, and to leave lands and lots and other property to his heirs. The deceased leaves to mourn her death the following children: Mrs. W.D. Eaton of Lyons; Mrs. A.D. Gaston of Washington, D.C.; George P. Buell of Chlispel, Wash.; Mrs. C.A. Hobein of Estherville, Ia.; L.J. Buell and W.E. Buell of Lyons. Clinton County Death Records Book 10 page 37 No. 441 Cause of Death Heart paralysis due to chronic valvular (mitral) heart disease.

Eaton, aged 89 years, editor and publisher of The Mirror for sixty-one years, which occurred Saturday at Jane Lamb hospital at 4:30 o'clock, removes from the community and particularly from Lyons, one of its oldest and best beloved residents. The end came peacefully and was due principally to the infirmities of old age. The also was the cause of his retirement from the newspaper field last September, when he disposed of the Mirror, one of the oldest newspapers in Iowa, established in 1854, and from 1861 edited by Mr. Eaton. His death marks the passing of one of the few remaining editors of the old school of journalism. Mr. Eaton is survived by his wife who had been at Jane Lamb hosptial where they had been making their home the past few months, but who is now at the J.C. Snyder home in Fulton, Ill., one daughter, Miss Edith Eaton of Washington, D.C., who is here now, and a niece, Miss Adella Eaton. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon with services at 2 o'clock at Oakland chapel. The Rev. N.A. McAulay of Tacoma, Wash., will officiate at the burial services. Interment will be in Oakland cemetery. In the meantime the body reposes at Shadduck's undertaking parlors. Editor W.D. Eaton was one of the unique and interesting characters who are seldom met with in our age as he linked the experiences of pioneer days with the modernity of the present time. His grand intellectual development and mental grasp, which enabled him to associate events were as keen in the declining years of his life as they had been in the stirring days of the rebellion. In politics he was a Republican and his paper always upheld strongly the policies of the party, and had not left the older doctrines to become an insurgent. Always independent in thought and action, he had made some enemies, as such men will and as every man does who stands for something, but he had as well many friends, and even his enemies testified to his honesty and straight-forwardness. William Durfee Eaton was born March 1, 1834, at Colt's Station, Erie county, Pennsylvania, the son of Ebenezer and Eunice (Shattuck) Eaton. His father was the son of Ebenezer Eaton, of English ancestory, and was born in New Hampshire, in March 1800. When the father of W.D. Eaton was be three weeks old his mother and father died and he was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Addison, who had just lost their first born, and with them he remained until his marriage. He first attended school in New Hampshire, later in New York, the Addisons moving to Cattaraugus county, New York, later to Jamestown, then in 1812 to Colt's Station, Pennsylvania, within ten miles of Lake Erie. Ebenezer Eaton was married at Colt's Station to Eunice Shattuck, daughter of Sewell Shattuck, of Scottish descent. She was born in Vermont in 1807. Their married life was spent near Colt's Station with the exception of two or three years spent in Iowa, to which state they moved in 1863, but later returned to Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Eaton died in 1872, and Mr. Eaton in 1874. Mr. Eaton was by occupation a farmer, living seven miles from the village, and was a man of such a nature that he was greatly respected by those who knew him. In politics he was earlier a Whig, and later a Republican. His wife and her parents were Methodists. Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Eaton were the parents of eleven children, two of whom died in infancy. Those growing to maturity were: Elzabeth, who married Luther Jones, of Erie county, Pennsylvania, and died in 1851; Clarinda, who married the Rev. Lester Perkins, and lived in Des Moines, her husband dying in February, 1911; Marie, now Mrs. Conrad Ewer, who lived in Corry, Pennsylvania; Charles A., of Erie county, Pennsylvania; Julie, widow of Ambrose Powers, Afton, Iowa; Wilber of Des Moines; Matilda, married to Edward A. Nattinger of Lyons, Iowa, died at Ottawa, Ill., in 1907; Perham S. Eaton of Lyons, died June 30, 1918, and until his death was associated with his brother in the publication of the Mirror and the late W.D. Eaton, the last of his family. W.D. Eaton attended the common schools until sixteen, and then entered the office of the Erie Chronicle as apprentice. Three years later he went to Cleveland, Ohio, and worked at this trade there three and one-half years, working at one time for Joseph Medill, later of the Chicago Tribune. In the fall of 1856 he came to Webster City, Iowa, remained during the winter,then in the spring of 1857 went to Kossuth county, and pre-empted a quarter section of public land, and built a cabin with black walnut shingles, shaved from the log after the sashion of those days. The wet summer and the panic together floored him and he walked to Des Mones, working his way to get a job as job printer. There he worked onthe Journal for Siltson Hutchins, until he got money enough to go back and remove his family.

Buell US Census 1860 age 16 Obituary: The Clinton Herald Thursday January 27, 1927 p. 8 Mrs. Caroline Buell Gaston, aged 84, widow of the late Captain A. D. Gaston of Washington, D.C., and a daughter of the late Elijah Buell, founder of Lyons, passed away suddenly Wednesday evening at six o'clock in Los Angeles, Calif., where she had been since last fall. The message was received this morning by her brother, Langworthy J. Buell, 2517 Third street, north. Following the funeral services in Los Angeles, Calif., the body will be taken to Washington, D.C., where interment will be beside her husband in the Arlington National cemetery. Her daughter, Mrs. Mary Caroline Buell was the daughter of Elijah Buell and Mary Louise Pearce, who was the second wife of Mr. Buell and was born in Louins March 16, 1843, in the pioneer days when the Buell homestead was located at the east end of Pearl street near the river the property now the site of the Charles M. Pelton home. January 21, 1864, she was united in marrage with A.D. Gaston by the Rev. Mr. Stanley, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Four children were born to this union, a daughter, Mrs. Bell James, passed away several years ago. Mr. Gaston preceded his wife in death a number of years ago. Of her immediate family she is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Jessie Harrison of New York City and Mrs. Mary King of Philadelphia, Pa., and one son, Buell Gaston of Los Angeles, Calif., four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. There is also a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Spencer of Seattle, Wash. Elijah Buell, father of Mrs. Gason, was born in Utica, N.Y., April 1, 1801, and in 1811 he accompanied his parents from Utica to Sacketts Harbor, N.Y. In 1813 the grandfather died, and Elijah accompanied by his widow with her eight children to the site of the present location of Cleveland, Ohio. Elijah Buell completed his education in that city and turned his attention to the south end of the Mississippi. He became well known in navigation circles in that section of the country. He possessed remarkable ability and was a man of keen discernment so that during his long service there was no serious disaster under his command. While working as a pilot he made St. Louis, Mo., his home and in 1835 he left his family in that city and came to the site of the present city of Lyons, where he developed a farm and erected a small cabin on the Mississippi at what is now Pearl and Front streets.

Discharged for promotion as Second Lieutenant of Company A, Twenty-sixth Infantry, August 12, 1862. What follows is an account of the 26's role in the battle on Walnut Hills.It was a part of the Vicksburg campaign and was where Captain Gaston was wounded. On May 1, 1863, General Steele's Division left Milliken's Bend, marched to Grand Gulf and thence to Jackson, Mississippi, where it arrived on the 14th. On the 16th the march was resumed, and,on the 18th, the command arrived in front of the enemy's lines at Walnut Hills, in the rear of Vicksburg. During the march there had been several delays, and some skirmishes with the enemy had occurred, but the reports do not show that the Twenty-sixth Iowa was engaged with the enemy until May 18th, 19th and 22d, on which dates (particularly the latter) it sustained heavy losses. The fighting began at Walnut Hills late in the afternoon of the 18th and heavy skirmishing was kept up until dark. On the 19th the skirmishing was resumed and an attempt was made to assault the enemy's works, which was unsuccessful. On May 22nd the assault was renewed, with the same result. In these preliminary operations the Twenty-sixth Iowa bore a conspicuous part. Adjutant J. D. Began states that the regiment had two officers and three privates wounded in the skirmish on May 18th. Colonel Smith makes the following statement, with reference to the part taken by the regiment on the 19th and 22d: "My regiment was engaged in the assault of the 19th, 311 officers and men being present and actually engaged, losing 1 man killed, 4 officers and 8 men wounded. Had, on the 22nd, 290 officers and men present and actually engaged, losing 5 men killed, 4 officers and 25 men wounded. On account of the favorable formation of the ground my regiment did not suffer so badly as it otherwise would have done in a more exposed position." Among those wounded were Colonel Milo Smith,Captain A. D. Gaston, and Lieutenants John W. Mason, Louis Rider, Noble W. Wood, John Quinn and William M. Magden. The failure to carry the enemy's strong works by direct assault necessitated a series of regular siege operations which were continued until July 4, 1863, when the rebel stronghold surrendered. The Twenty-sixth Iowa performed its full share of duty during the siege. The regiment had sustained a loss of 6 killed and 46 wounded in its three engagements in the early days of the siege. On June 5th it had one man, Mathew Carraher, severely wounded, and, on June 15th, one man, William H. Wilcox, killed, making the number of casualties during the siege 54, (7 killed and 47 wounded, ) seventeen per cent of the maximum number of the regiment present for duty on May 18th, the day upon which the initial engagement of the siege of Vicksburg occurred. Colonel Milo Smith, although suffering from his wounds,remained in command of the regiment and directed its movements during the siege. He was the only field officer on duty until May 24th, upon which date Lieutenant Colonel Ferreby returned and reported for duty. This gallant officer had been severely wounded at Arkansas Post and, as a reward for his meritorious conduct in that battle, had been promoted three grades above his former rank. He had only partially recovered from his wounds at the time of his return, but his patriotic devotion to duty and his anxiety to be with his regiment in the great struggle then in progress prevailed over the insistence of the surgeon that he should remain in hospital until he had fully recovered. Captain N. C. Roe had been detailed to act as a field officer to assist Colonel Smith, and continued to act in that capacity until relieved on June 2nd. Alanson D.
