Generation No. 2

2. ROBERT ERLE⁴ EATON (ANDREW HENRY *³, ROBERT ADAMS *², THOMAS *¹) was born November 10, 1887 in PINE GROVE, PICKENS, AL, and died May 03, 1960. He married MARY VIRGINIA BURGESS October 18, 1914.

Notes for ROBERT ERLE EATON:
! According to Erle's daughter, Mary Randel, because of Erle's responsibilities
to his younger siblings, he had to delay his marriage several years. Erle's
father had died in 1911 and Erle was the oldest child. His father had married a
second time in 1908-Jenny Cora Spence- who had been a housekeeper for him
following his first Wife, Edna Elizabeth Calley Eaton's , death in 1905. Jenny
had come as a housekeeper from near Montevello AL. She was much younger than A.
Henry and upon his death was not able to care for the
younger children. The responsibilidty fell to Erle. Jenny left Pine Grove not
too long after A. Henry's death and took her daughter, Margret, and moved to
Texas. She married again and lived out the rest of her life in Texas.(some said
that she went to Texas to get married after answering a mail order bride
advertisement-there is no proof of this).

stay with Henry. Marie and Winnie drove the sixty miles to the Baptist Hospital

They began the regular routine. Winnie said, "I think I'm going under". She
lost consciousness and her blood pressure dropped rapidly. She was put on a
breathing machine and all emergency procedures were put into effect. Marie
called her sister , Mary Ann Wade, who was visiting her daughter, Angela, on
the Ms. Gulf Coast. She also called her brother, Roy, in Indiana, and he in
