2019-08-02 - Robert Young Eaton was born in 1875 to John and Margaret (née Herbison) Eaton. He was related to the Eaton's department store founder, as they shared the same grandfather, John Eaton Sr (1784–1834). He took over control of the department stores when his cousin Sir John Craig Eaton died of pneumonia in 1922. Sir John's children were too young to run the company, so he filled in until one of the children reached an appropriate age to take over. He proved to be an extremely capable president, and he expanded the company tenfold. His cousin-in-law, Lady Eaton, the widow of Sir John, never liked him. Throughout her life, she always referred to her branch of the family as the "owner Eatons" and his branch as the "worker Eatons". Lady Eaton's son, John David Eaton, eventually took over the presidency of the company at the age of 33, and R.Y. Eaton retired from business life. He had a resort home, Ireton, built in Port Credit, Ontario, and later in Georgian Bay.[1] He also served as president of the Art Gallery of Ontario from 1924 to 1941. Mr. Eaton died in 1956 and the organ was relocated in 1962 to Little Trinity Anglican Church in Toronto. -Database Manager
