ELON HOWARD EATON Elon Howard Eaton was bom in Springville, N. Y.. Oct. 8, 1866. I Ic came of an old English American family which had immigrated to this country about 1635. Mr. Eaton's early school days were inter- rupted by ill health and so he was sent into the woods and fields where first began that knowledge of and enthusiasm for the study of nature and animals which has continued all his life. In 1881. he entered Griffith Institute, Springville, N. Y., where he prepared for college entering Rochester University in 1885. While in college, Mr. Eaton had a brilliant athletic record playing tackle on the football team and representing his college in sprinting, hurdling, and high jumping. II is record for the 220-yard dash, twenty-two and two-fifths seconds, has never been equalled in Rochester. During the school year of 1888-1889, he taught in Canandaigua and so it was not till 1890 that he received his degree A.B.
