Mrs. Emma Burwell Eaton, prominent pioneer citizen of San Jose and wife of the late Amasa Eaton, died yesterday noon at her residence, 530 North First street, after a lingering illness of many months.
Mrs Eaton, as was her husband, was widely known and respected throughout the community. The power and sweetness of her personality made itself felt in many of the early activities of San Jose and the good work which she accomplished for charity and church (she was a member of Trinity Episcopal church) will long be remembered.
Although Mrs. Eaton belonged to the fine "old school" of gentlewomen, whose interests lay for the most part in the home and the family, she never failed to assist in any way within her power to help the community as a whole.
She was born in Ohio 72 years ago and moved to this city when San Jose was but a promise of what is has since become. The Eaton residence, build more than 30 years ago, has served as one of San Jose's landmarks since that time, and under its hospitable roof many distinguished guests have been entertained.
Mr. Eaton was at one time a director of the bank of San Jose, and was know through the community as a prominent capitalist and real estate dealer.
Mrs. Eaton was attended in her last illness (chronic heart disease of many years' standing) by Dr. J. Underwood Hall. She is survived by a daughter, C. Belle, and two sons, Alfred C. and Clarence B. Eaton.
Friends are invited to attend the funeral tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence, 530 North First Street.
