         Death of Mrs. E. G. EASTMAN
         
         The death of Mrs. E. G. EASTMAN yesterday morning
       was the severing of another of the links which bind
       the present generation to the past. For many years
       this estimable lady has been a leading spirit in the
       Church of which she was a member, well known by all
       of the old citizens of Nashville, and well beloved
       by all who knew her for that gentleness, kindliness,
       charity which made all the world seem akin to her.
       Her husband, Mr. E. G. EASTMAN, was, in his day, an
       editor in Knoxville and then in this city; for many
       years one of the most prominent figures in the poli-
       tics of Tennessee. Since his death, in November,
       1859, Mrs. EASTMAN has devoted herself assiduously
       to the rearing of her children. She was the mother
       of ten, nine of whom have grown to maturity and still
       live, all married except two. Her three daughters 
       are the wives of Dr. JOHN H. CURRY, W. M. DUNCAN,
       and LEN K. HART. Her eldest son is of the firm of
       Tavel, Eastman & Howell; her second has been, since
       the war, Deputy Clerk of our County Court; her third
       is in the office of the County Trustee; her fourth
       is Teller of the First National Bank; her fifth
       holds the same position in the Mechanics' National,
       and her sixth is Assistant Teller in the Fourth
       National. There are but few mothers who have lived
       to see so many children grow to manhood and woman-
       hood, and all do so well. How truly has she shown
       that "the mother, in her office, holds the key of
       the soul; and she it is who stamps the coin of
       character."
       
         Mrs. EASTMAN, whose maiden name was CARR, was a
       native of New Lebanon, Columbia county, N.Y., the
       same village in which Gov. Tilden was born. Her
       family and that of Mr. Tilden were on the most
       intimate terms. She was born June 12, 1818, was
       married in Baltimore, Oct. 11, 1838, and died Oct.
       20, 1878, exceeding her three-score years by more
       than four months.
