"History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties" by H. Z. Williams and Bros. states;
Upon an old-fashioned stone near the little monument which marks the grave of Dan Eaton is the following quaint and curions epitaph:
Naomi Eaton
Wife of Dan Eaton born December 2nd U. S. 4 and on the 5th of November U. S. 43 became like unto a potter's vessel that was stripped of its glazing and its gliding, but as she believed the work would not be lost: but would be moulded in another form and become fit for the Master's use.
We doubt if another instance of the use of the year of the United States instead of Anno Domini can be found in all tombstone literature of the country.
