Death of Mrs. E.L Eaton
Mrs. Elizabeth L. Eaton died, after an illness of five weeks, at Providence Hospital, Thursday night. Mrs. Eaton was the wife of Capt. Alonzo J. Eaton, an employee of the United States Senate, and was born in Brunswick, Me., and resided in Boston a number of years, but she has been a resident of the District during the twenty years last past. She had many friends, and it was greatly through her energetic efforts as a member of the Anacostia Citizens' Association, it is said, that the bill granting the franchise for an electric line from the navy yard to Congress Heights was passed, the property of the Eatons being along that line and adjoining the asylum grounds.
Mrs. Eaton was prominently identified with the Knights of Labor during its prosperous times and did a great
deal toward bettering the condition of her sex through getting them better pay and their elevation in other
respects. She was charitably disposed and was ever ready to assist the worthy poor, and during the distressing times of the last Potomac floods she was instrumental, through her connection with the Knights of Labor, in raising a large amount of money and securing donations of provisions and clothing for their relief.
Prior to eight years ago, Mrs. Eaton was for a number of years, employed as translator in the botanical division of the Agricultural Department. Her remains will be buried in the Congressional cemetery, the funeral services taking place at Lee's undertaking establishment Monday afternoon, 15th instant, at 2 o'clock
2:30 p.m., December 15 at Lee's Chapel, 332 Pennsylvania avenue.
