Birth and death dates and locations are from his Vermont death record. Also from that record:
Father: Daniel Chase Easton, born in Nantucket, MA
Mother: Florence Cordelia Leach, born in New York State

A Web search found the following quotation [which may be from the book cited above] "My mother remembers hearing Dr. Frank Easton of Craftsbury Commons, Vermont, tell of having so many patients to treat that if there wasn't smoke coming from the chimney, he knew it was too late and drove on to the next house. He and his son had driven by one such place when his son saw a face in the window.* They went back and found a little girl sitting in the sunshine, trying to keep warm in a cold house. Her parents and brother were dead. She was one of the many orphans the flu epidemic created."

Thanks to F-A-G contributor S.R.F. (#47738583) for providing Dr Easton's middle name Birch and the suffix "Sr."

Thanks to F-A-G contributor Lowe-Irl (#48342950) for providing the Eastons marriage date.
