JAMES P. EASTMAN

DEATH OF J.P. EASTMAN

Formerly of Welland-Dies in Utah

[People’s Press, 4 September 1906]

Word has been received here of the death of J.P. Eastman at Bingham, Utah Ter. Deceased was a son of Wm. Eastman of Welland, a brother of Mrs. Thos. Blanchard of Welland, and a half-brother of Mr. Charles Eastman and Mrs. T. Hicks of town. He was 60 years of age and never married. For about 30 years he was engaged in mining in Utah, his last visit to Welland being about 16 years ago. He had been in poor health for some time and had spent two winters in California in the attempt to regain his health, but without avail. His funeral took place on Aug. 17th. A Utah paper says he was well liked and highly respected and noted for charitable deeds and aid to poor children. A good record.
