2nd Annual Eaton Cemetery Walk
The second annual Eaton Cemetery Walk will be Saturday, June 17 at 10 a.m. and Monday, June 19 at 7 p.m. 
As you walk through Eaton’s past, you will discover familiar names: Tateyama, Magnuson, Allison, Dorsey, Nix, Haythorn, Roy & Sullivan to name a few. Curators Georgia Inloes and Susan Nelson will bring to life the stories behind each tomb stone. These family names are among the strong, determined people who made Eaton what it is today. Many descendants remain an active part of our thriving community.
Parking is available on west side of the brick wall on County Road 39 (cemetery is located southeast of Eaton stoplight on Rd 39 between Rd 74 and 72) . Meet at the north entrance. No admission fee. Sponsored by the Eaton Area Historical Society.
