About 1:30 Monday afternoon Smith in passing the M. D. Eatinger residence opposite the and Erie depot observed smoke coming out of the roof of the kitchen and he immediately called Milo's attention to the Milo hurried and upon investigation found the roof to be ablaze. A fire alarm next turned in and after wait of nearly five minutes at the Panhandle crossing the tire department arrived upon the After working with the engine for about ten minutes it was discovered that there was no gasoline in the tank and a fire engine without any gasoline is about as bad as an automobile without any. The pump at the home was up and hence it was about as useful as a pump at the North A bucket brigade brought water from the depots and the DeArmond hotel but the angry gained such headway that this was not sufficient to check them for any length of A hundred or more people were upon the scene within a few minutes time and assisted in removing the household goods and furniture from the burning All the furniture except a part of that in two rooms was most of it being damaged more or After the fire engine was gotten into operation the boys were able to the shed at the side of the house in which Eatinger had stored his p???.

| The jewelry store of Mr. Eatinger controls a substantial and
appreciative patronage, with its complete stock of jewelry, silverware,
watches, clocks, etc., and he is personally a skilled and practical
jeweler, having learned his trade in the horological department of the
Bradley Institute of Technology, in the City of Peoria, Illinois. After
availing himself of the advantages of this institution Mr. Eatinger was
employed as jeweler and clerk in his father's drug and jewelry store, in
North Judson, in which, in fact, he initiated his services when he was a
lad of fourteen years, and with which he continued to be associated until he instituted his independent business enterprise, his success having been on a parity with his ambition and well directed endeavors. Jlr. Eatinger was born at North Judson on the 20th of May, 1882, and is a son of Milo D. and Olive E. (Allen) Eatinger, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of Indiana. Milo D. Eatinger is a son of John L. and Anna (Coy) Eatinger, the former of whom was born in Ohio and the latter in Pennsylvania, the lineage of both being traced back to staunch German origin; their marriage was solemnized in Ohio and not many years later they numbered themselves among the pioneer settlers of Cass County, Indiana. In 1868 they came to Starke County, where John L. Eatinger purchased a tract of land belonging to the Lightcap estate. This was shortly after the completion of the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad through Starke County and the Village of North Judson had not as yet been platted. Of the very appreciable tract of land purchased by his grandfather the subject of this review now owns a part, the original tract having included a portion of the site of the present Village of North Judson. After coming to Starke County, John L. Eatinger continued to work at his trade, that of carpenter, and he was one of the first contractors and builders at North Judson, where he continued to reside until his death, on the 23d of December, 1891, his age at the time having been sixty-five years. His wife survived him by several years, and was about sixty years old at the time of her death. Milo D. Eatinger was born on the 1st of May, 1860, and was a boy at
the time of the family removal to Starke County, where he was reared and
educated and where as a youth he found employment in the drug store of
Louis Foust, of North Judson. He became a practical pharmacist, and
finally became sole proprietor of the store in which he had been
employed. Later he amplified his business by installing a stock of
jewelry, watches, and clocks, and he continued as one of the prominent
and honored business men and influential citizens of North Judson until
1910, when he sold his interests here and removed to the City of
Chicago, where he was identified with the same lines of business until
1914, when he engaged in the jewelry business at Wray, Yuma County,
Colorado, where he now maintains his residence. His first wife was
summoned to eternal rest in 1891, at the age of thirty-three years, and
her gentle and gracious personality was in consonance with her abiding
faith as a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She is
survived by three children : Mabel, who was born December 13, 1879, is
the wife of (Adam G. Enyeart claimed land in 5N 44W and 5N 45W, William Enyeart in 5N 42W in 1916) |
