1890 - Died in Her 100th Year

Mrs. Elizabeth Eaton Larned, of Pawtucket, R.I. is dead. She was the daughter of John Eliot Eaton, and Elizabeth Davis Eaton, and was born in Dudley Mass., January 7, 1790. Her father was a surgeon in the Revolutionary army, and at the close of the war he removed with his family from Spencer to Dudley, Mass., where they remained for years. In 1810 she was married to Morris Larned, of Dudley, Mass. He was born May 23, 1786, and died November 6, 1878, at the age of 92. Thirteen children were the result of the marriage, of whom five are still living - Mrs. Cordelia W Davison, of Central Falls; Thomas Larned, of Dudley, Mass.; Wm. Larned of Denver, Col.; John Larned, of Boston, Mass., and Elizabeth Davis, of Dudley, Mass. They were all in Dudley, and the old home is still in good repair, and the condition upon which the dwelling is rented was that her room should be kept in perfect order for her as long as she should live. Her decendants number five children, twenty-seven grandchildren and fifty-nine great grandchildren. During her married life of sixty-eight years she said her husband kept a tavern on what was then termed "Dudley Hill," between Boston and Hartford. It became a famous hostelry. Mrs. Sarah Elliot, wife of Mrs. Larned's grandfather, Joshua Eaton, was a grand-daughter of the great Indian apostle, John Elliott, who came to Boston in 1631, and preached the gospel to the Indians.
