ELDRED W. EASTELL,
is Secretary of the Toledo Water Works, having been called upon to
accept that responsible position in 1891. He entered upon his
duties July 1 of that year, and has gained an enviable name as a man
who attends strictly to business, never neglecting in the slightest
degree any detail of his work. He has made his home in this
city for the past eighteen years.
Eldred W. Eastell was born in Norwich, England,
Aug. 18, 1850, and was only three years of age when he was brought
by his parents, Richard and Louise (Dale) Eastell, to the
United States. The family settled in Maumee, Lucas County,
Ohio, where they became prosperous and respected citizens. The
father died in 1875, but his wife is still living on the old
homestead.
The early years of our subject were passed in Maumee,
Lucas County, where he was regular in his attendance at the district
schools until he was in his thirteenth year. He was only
fifteen when he entered the employ of Dicks & Johnson,
proprietors of the Pearl Mills. He was their salesman and
bookkeeper for eight years, filling both positions with credit.
He then embarked in the retail grocery and hardware business in
Maumee, and gave his attention to the same until December, 1877.
In the year last mentioned, Mr. Eastell
cast in his fortunes with the good people of Toledo. He
entered the office of T. S. Merrill & Co., dealers in
agricultural implements and seeds, and was retained in their employ
until Jan. 1, 1885. The following year he was offered the
position of manager in the Toledo Spice Company’s works, and served
as such for a year. From that time until July 1, 1891, he
conducted a real-estate and loan business with T. S. Merrill.
Fraternally he is a Thirty-second Degree Mason, a member of Rubicon
Lodge No. 237, F. & A. M.; Ft. Meigs Chapter, R. A. M.; Toledo
Council, R. & S. M.; Toledo Commandery No. 7, K. T.; and Cincinnati
Consistory, A. & A. R.
On New Year’s Day, 1871 , occurred the marriage of
E. W. Eastell and Miss Cassie L., daughter of Thomas
Bates, of Maumee, Lucas County, Ohio. They have a very
pleasant home at No. 1958 Warren Street, and move in the best social
circles of the city. Their son and only child, Richard T.
Eastell, is at college at the University of Michigan.
