Audio of brief biography of Cyrus Eaton by Cathy Eaton
|
"Pugwash, in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada, is where the Cyrus Eaton story began, with his birth there on December 27, 1883. His father [Joseph Howe Eaton] was a practical and successful merchant and farmer, who also served for some years as local postmaster. To his mother (Mary Adelia) and his early teacher, Margaret King, he owed his lifelong passion for reading and learning. In the twenties, in gratitude, he built a modern educational facility for the children of Pugwash and named it the Margaret King School. During the same period, he twice assisted in the rebuilding of the Pugwash business district, after it had been ravished by fire." (courtesy of the Western Reserve Historical Society Profiles - written by Betty Royan, who was assistant to Cyrus Eaton for forty-one years.)
"Of all Mr. Eaton's endeavors, the one to which he was most dedicated in his later years was the quest for international friendship, disarmament and peace. In this work he had the full collaboration of his second wife, Anne Kinder Eaton."
In 1963 Cyrus S Eaton was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by Lord (John) Bowd Orr of Brechin (recipient of the 1949 Nobel Peace Prize) for "his contribution to organizing the "Pugwash-conference" with participants of well known scientists" from both sides of the Iron Curtain.
