Annual Report of the Silk Association of America, 1908, pg. 43:

WILFRED ERNEST EATON (Deceased November 4, 1907, East Orange, N. J.) The Board of Managers of the Silk Association of America records its keen sense of loss sustained by the silk industry through the death on November 4, 1907, at his residence in East Orange, N. J., of its highly esteemed fellow-director, Mr. Wilfred E. Eaton. Although Mr. Eaton was only in the forty-fourth year of his age at the time of his decease, he had become a factor of universally recognized power and authority in the sewing-silk and machine-twist branch of our industry. For many years preceding his death he was assistant treasurer of the Nonotuck Silk Company, and since 1899 he was a Director of the Silk Association of America. In grateful recognition of Mr. Eaton's personal worth and services to the silk industry of the United States, be it, therefore, RESOLVED, That the sincere sympathy of this Board is hereby extended to the widow and children of Mr. Eaton in their great bereavement, and, as a merited mark of esteem and regard, it is hereby VOTED, That these resolutions be entered on the minutes, and a copy be forwarded to the family of the deceased. Attest: Franklin Allen, Secretary. New York, November 13, 1907.
