Minnie Emily Eaton was born in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, December 3, 1866. Minnie was the daughter of Alonzo C. Eaton and Julia Florentine Weller. She died January 19, 1954 in Pomona, Los Angeles County, CA at 87 years of age. Her body was interred January 22, 1954 in Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier, California. Minnie Eaton was educated at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. In 1887 her father brought the family by train from Ohio to San Diego and then by wagon to homestead near Valley Center in San Diego County. She taught school for a short time in San Diego County. On July 10, 1892 by letter of transfer she became a member of First Church of the United Brethren in Christ of Los Angeles and remained a member there the rest of her life. Miss Eaton was a missionary to Sierra Leone, West Africa for 44 years and her first term was from 1894 to 1898. During that term she was assigned to work in Rotifunk. Early in 1898 when she landed by ship in New York for her first furlough, she received news that every missionary with whom she had worked, save one, had been slain in a furious native uprising over a hut tax the English had put on the natives. Many would have feared to return but in 1900 she returned as a teacher at Moyamba. She was sent to Tiama where two missionaries had been taken to a rock in the middle of the river and beheaded. Miss Eaton was a courageous woman and although small in size was so great in soul that she commanded respect of the natives. When she witnessed the destruction and saw the black rock where her friends were slain, she directed the natives to break that rock and haul it to the shore, and then build a new church as a memorial to those who had given their lives.
