"I have lived my life and that which I have done.
may he within himself make pure"
Henry & Alice and a grandson Jack Eton, Row 2, Plan IX, Pioneer
Henry Edgar Eton was born in London. He married Alice Sizmur in 1863 in Southwark London ..
Mr Eton began business in Masterton in the year 1884; but prior to that he had extensive experience in Wellington, in Christchurch and in Birmingham. It was in Birmingham that he learned his profession. His imports are mainly from England and America. Of course he stocks all the noted patent medicines and has quite a number of his own proprietary articles. Among the most important of these are - Eton's cough emulsion, cough linctus, neuralgia cure - said to be marvellously effective - hair forcer, dandelion and sarsaparilla blood mixtur and many others. For the blood mixture, Mr Eton has found a partucularly large demand - a most satisfactory evidence of its efficacious qualities. The shop is well stocked and tastefully fitted, presenting an appearance that some of the city shops would do well to imitate. It occupies a fine site in the very centre of the business part of Masterton. The consulting room is also large and well-appointed. Being the public vaccinator under the Government, Mr Eden has wisely made suitable provision for all requirements in this department. Mr Eton is the sole agent in the Wairarapa for Mr N. Lazarus, the oculist and optician, of London and Calcutta and has every convenience and appliance for sight testing and can supply lenses to suit any sight. A good dwelling is attached to the shop; urgent cases may therefor be attended to at any hour. Mr Eton has spared no pains to make his establishment attractive and convenient and evidence is not wanting to show that his efforts in this direction are appreciated by his many friends and the general public of Masterton. Mr Eton was born in London and arrived in New Zealand in 1880, per ship "Piako"
