Rebecca EATON born in New Hampshire in 1810 and on [23 Feb 1833 was married] to Selah TRASK of Massachusetts. They lived in the east until May 1854, when Chickasaw County became their home and was up to the day of her death with the exception of one year which was passed in Black Hawk County. Seven children were born to them, four of whom, with the aged husband survive her. Two died in infancy and were buried in the east. The youngest, Edward, reached mature years, married and went to Nebraska, where he died.

Mrs. Emily SMITH, her only surviving daughter and two sons, Albert and Henry live at Saginaw, Mich and John, whom we all know, lived on the old homestead with his parents. Albert, a prominent attorney of Saginaw, was the only one able to come to the funeral.

The funeral took place from the house Thursday at 10 a.m. Rev. Dolan officiating and all that was mortal of this loving and faithful mother was laid in mother earth in the Beckwith Cemetery.
