This firm appears first in the directory for 1805-6 as operating a match factory on South St. between and Mohawk Sts. in Utica, NY under name of Jas. Eaton. The next year one Owens was associated with Mr. Eaton and the firm appears as Eaton Owens. From 1867-68 until 1876 business was run under the name of Jas. Eaton. In 1876 J. Emery Eaton was a member of the firm and until business was closed in 1882 the name appears as Jas. Eaton & Son. For many years the directories also list John B. Eaton as a match maker who lived near the factory and was a relative of James Eaton.
