He was 53 years of age at the time of his death and is survived by a widow and four children, Misses Clen and Winnie, daughters, and sons Richard and George. Three brothers, all prominent citizens, are residents of Stinesville. Mr. Easton resided for some eight years in Linton and was engaged in the grocery business a portion of this time. He was also a partner with Virgil Robertson for a time in the coal business and was a citizen respected and admired for his sterling qualities. Politically Mr. Easton was a staunch Democrat and came from a family of Democrats, standing always high in the councils of his party. He was not a member of any organizations, but was a Presbyterian. March the first, last, Mr. Easton moved his family to Sanborn where he took charge of a hotel. A few days after he was taken ill and was bedfast with the exception of some four days, until the time of his death. The funeral party left Sanborn at 7 o'clock this morning for Stinesville, where the services will be held at the Christian church at 10 o'clock, in charge of the Rev. A. C. Trusty.
