  Charles Smith EASTIN OBITUARY OF CHARLES EASTIN From the Charleston [Coles Co., ILL.] Courier, 21st. inst. [Sept. 1865] DEATH OF THE FIRST WHITE CHILD BORN IN LEXINGTON, KY. Major Charles Eastin who was the first white male child born in Lexington, Ky., died at the residence of his son, Capt. J.M. Eastin, in this city, [Charleston, Illinois], Saturday afternoon last, verging closely on 90 years of age [sic, 82 years of age]. He married in Shelbyville, Kentucky in 1803, [sic, 1805], and from there emigrated to Indiana, while it was yet a Territory, and settled in Madison. He volunteered for the war of 1812 and 14 under Col. Dunn in Indiana, and was in General Harrison's campaign in the North-West. After the war was over, he was elected Malitia [sic] Major, a title he bore ever afterwards. Maj. Eastin removed from Indiana to this State [Illinois] in the spring of 1830 and settled about eight miles west of this city. What is now Coles County was then Clark. [both counties in Illinois.] Coles was formed by the Legislature the fall or winter succeeding the spring that Maj. Eastin settled here. He was therefore a citizen of the county before it had received its present name. Maj. Eastin has been entirely blind for some six or seven years past. His aged wife and five children, out of thirteen, three daughters and two sons, survive him. His remains were followed to their last resting place Monday forenoon, by a large concourse of citizens. Long his name, his fame and glory, Joined in our hearts with the land of his birth-- And let not his deeds live brightest in story, Chanted and sung by the fairest of earth. Keep bright the stars, that he left to your keeping, Soil not the Banner -- for aye let it wave, Over the land where the hero is sleeping-- Never should land be so proud of a grave!" [Reprinted in the Lexington Observer, dated September 27, 1865. Transcript at the Kentucky State Historical Society, Frankfort, Kentucky. [There are many transcription errors in this reprint].
