Dr. F. H. Van Eaton, a well known physician of this city, died yesterday at 11 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Alex Lang, his daughter, 415 Union street.
Dr. Van Eaton had been an invalid for about four years past, the last two years of which time he was confined to his bed. He was a genial, wholesouled man, a physician of note and respected by all who knew him.
Dr. Flavel Hunt Van Eaton was born in Jacksonville, Morgan county, Illinois, on October 10, 1835. His parents removed to Virginia, Cass county, Illinois, when he was quite young. In 1853 he entered Illinois college at Jacksonville, graduating therefrom in 1856. He selected for a profession the practice of medicine and that year became a student at the Missouri Medical college at St. Louis, Mo., taking his degree in 1859.
In March, 1859, he was united in marriage to Miss Hannah A. Cavanaugh. He established his residence in Franklin, Illinois. In 1862 he entered the army of the Union as assistant surgeon in the Eight Missouri volunteer cavalry. In 1863 he became surgeon of this regiment with the rank of major. This position he held until the close of the war in 1865. He served as medical director of the expedition under Major General Steele south from Little Rock, Arkansas, to form a junction with Bank's expedition up the Red river in 1864. He was in the engagement with his regiment at Prairie Grove, Pea Ridge, Van Burn, Batesville, Little Rock and numerous raids made by the cavalry troops in southwest Wisconsin and Arkansas.
At the close of the war he returned to Illinois and resided at Carrollton. In 1870 he removed with his family to Kansas, establishing a home in Saline county. In 1889 he removed to Olympia, where he has since resided. He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity and the Grand Army of the Republic. He was a kind and loving husband and father and an upright and honest citizen. The world is better for his having lived in it.
He leaves a wife and two children, Frank H. Van Eaton and Mrs. Alex Lang.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock from the home of Alex Lang, 415 Union street, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, of which deceased had long been an honored member.
