Melanie, The newspaper apparently made a typo on this obit. According to my listing for Herod Cemetery, this child is listed as Helen Ruth Eaton, not Eton. Her father was James Henry Eaton, husband of Radie (Kindred). James Henry who is also buried at Herod was son of Matthew & Alice (Forshee) Eaton. Also buried at Herod is Alva Lee Eaton (1928-1976), son of Henry & Radie. My listing indicates that Baby Helen Ruth Eaton does not have a tombstone, but Alva Lee Eaton, does. Listing also indicates that no tombstone was found for their father, James Henry Eaton. However, in checking the obituaries, I found that Radie died in 1997 at 99 years of age and she was buried at Herod Cemetery so there may be a joint tombstone for them by now. I'm getting ready to place all the photos from Herod on online shortly so if there's one there for them, it will be posted. According to her obit, she was the daughter of Napoleon and Parzettie (McBride) Kindred. Scans of the obits of James Henry Eaton and Radie Eaton, his wife, parents of Baby Helen Ruth Eaton, as well as obits for other family members, are included in the obituary database put online by Ed Mackley. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mackley/Obit_Surname_Pages/Obit_Surnames_Page_E.htm Bettye On Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:34:22 -0500 "Melanie Rickmar" <rickmar@cdinter.net> wrote: > LEAD BELT NEWS, Flat River, St. Francois County, >Missouri, Friday, Dec. 23, > 1932 > > HELEN RUTH ETON > > Helen Ruth Eton, baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry >Eton, was born April > 3rd, 1930, and passed away at their country home about >twelve miles from > Desloge, Mo., Dec. 11, 1932, aged 2 years, 8 months and >8 days.
