A. K. Eaton
Henry Kelley has returned from Osage where he went to attend the funeral services of General A. K. Eaton.
The funeral services were held in the court house and over 2,000 people were present. It was the largest funeral ever held in that section. General Eaton was a few weeks over 82 years of age.
General Jones, of Dubuque, was expected to be present but was in such poor health that it was impossible for him to be there. It was General Eaton who gave the casting vote that made General Jones a United States senator. During the past five or six years Mr. Eaton has been engaged in writing Iowa history.
