How EAHS came to be
Tommie Steele, one of Eaton’s most dedicated historians, used to write a popular column for the Eaton Herald. Tommie and her husband George Steele came to Eaton in 1952 to run Steele Bros. Grocery. Tommie passed away in October, 2015 at the age of 96. Below is her last article about our history, published posthumously in the North Weld Herald Voice on March 31, 2016.
