Family History

Eastover was the home of the Rev. Owen Burton (d.1965) and his wife, Belle Grove Burton. Rev. Burton was a pastor at the Universalist Church. He and Belle lived in the home with their son, Abbott Lucien Burton (1921-2013), and several male boarders. Abbott was, in fact, born in the house and inherited it after his parents passed away. Abbott lived there his entire life until his death in 2013 at age 91. His obituary states,  “Abbott was born to Rev. Owen and Belle (Grove) Burton on December 4, 1921 in his beloved home ‘Eastover’, where he resided throughout his life.” He worked for Nabisco in Marseilles for 45 years and for the City of Marseilles as the water superintendent for another 15 years.He and his wife, Shirley, enjoyed 50 happy years together in this home before her passing.
