Sketch of Mr. Eason's Life
Fred Eason was born December 15, 1866 at Elyria, Ohio, to Richard and Lucy Eason who had migrated to America from England in 1859. He was the youngest of nine children. With his parents he came to Dodge county, Nebraska, when he was five years old and the family settled three miles west of North Bend. In 1878 his father bought what is now the Ralph Lunan farm east of North Bend. A few years later he sold this and bought the eighty acres which are now a part of the Fred Eason home farm.
On December 28, 1892, Mr. Eason was married at Schuyler, Nebraska to Miss Bert Acom, a daughter of a pioneer North Bend family. To them were born five children. Of these Richard passed away in 1909 at the age of eight years and Alice (Mrs. Wilmar Boyd) died January 7, 1938. Myrtle (Mrs. Vernon Rand) of North Bend, Thomas K. of Lincoln and Miss Edith, a senior in the University of Nebraska School of Medicine, Omaha, survive. There also survive him his wife; two nieces, Miss Edith Stocking and Mrs. Burlingame Walker of North Bend; four grandchildren, Hazel and Ruth Rand, now in California, and Janet and Barbara Boyd, living at the Fred Eason home; a brother, Frank of Elyria, Ohio, and several nieces and nephews living at a distance.
Fred and Bert raised 2 nieces Edith and Lucy Stocking when their mother remarried, and raised grandchildren Janet and Barb Boyd when their mother Alice and her husband died, besides all their own children, which were spread out over 22 years. The family were all educated, even a doctor, well-known and prominent in the area.
