Elmer Augustus Eastman

Hi, Elmer Augustus Eastman (E.A.) is my GGGrandfather. He was a geat letter writer. When I was a child he wrote to my parents on a regular basis, at least twice a month. I have many of those letters and a 20 page story of his life that he typed and carbon copied when he was over 90 years old. He was living with his daughter and son- in-law and his wife Bertha (Miller) in Duarte, CA. at that time and had lived in CA for many years in various places since he left WI and went west when his son Royal Oliver (Roy or R.O.) was about 5 years old. His wife Laura (Cole) Eastman was a teacher and didn't want to join him and they eventually divorced. EA married again and this wife only lived a short while before she died of consumption. He married Bertha in 1893 and they had a son Ralph and a daughter Grace. I was born in New Jersey and lived in a number of states before moving to Canada in 1948 with my parents and brother when I was 11 years old and have lived here ever since, and my husband and I have been married for over 51 years. I have a second brother who was born here in Canada. I never met Elmer in person but did meet his first wife Laura and visited my Grandfather and Grandmother, Roy and Fannie many times. They owned a summer cottage next door to us when we lived in Vermont. I am new to using a computer and the internet and have been exploring my Eastman family for a while and discovered this site with a lot of information, though most of the more recent info is either incomplete or wrong concerning my immediate family. I have quite a lot of information to add and some pictures of Elmer and family. I have been to the cemetery where Adelbert, Elmer's father is buried in Oxford WI and to the Rialto, CA cemetery where his mother Lydia (Eastman) Boynton and his brother Orlando Adelbert are buried. I have not been able to find out where Elmer and Bertha are burie. I hope this information is helpful and that I will be able to find out more about my GGGrandfather's family Caroline
