He founded the Booklovers' Library in 1900 which became known as the world's largest circulating library,[2] and is credited with coining the name "Teddy bear".[3][4][5] Born in the community of Epping in Grey County, Ontario, Canada, Eaton was educated in Canadian schools and taught in district schools for seven years. He became a resident of Boston in 1880, and from there went to Philadelphia in 1892. He founded, in the United States and Britain, the Booklovers' and Tabard Inn libraries. For five years he was director of the Drexel Institute of Philadelphia. He was for five years a daily contributor to the Chicago Record and founded and edited the Booklovers' Magazine until it was merged into Appleton's Magazine. He wrote several college textbooks, the novel: Dan Black, Editor and Proprietor, and children's books The Roosevelt Bears and Prince Domino and Muffles, written under the pen name Paul Piper. Eaton married Jennie V. Adair in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on January 15, 1884.[6] He died at his home in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, aged 56.[7][4] References1. ^{{cite book|contribution=Eaton, Seymour|title=Herringshaw's American Blue-book of Biography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wCBEAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA332|year=1914|publisher=American Publishers' Association|page=332}} 2. ^{{cite magazine|title=Largest circulating library in the world|work=The Literary Digest|volume=24|number=16|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rgQ8AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA534|year=1902|pages=534–535}} 3. ^{{cite journal|title=The Teddy Bear: Continuum in a Security Blanket|first=Peter|last=Tamony|journal=Western Folklore|volume=33|number=3|date=July 1974|pages=231–238|jstor=1498997}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title='Teddybear' Creator Dead; Seymour Eaton, author, was noted for his newspaper promotion work|work=The New York Times|date=March 14, 1916|page=11|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1916/03/14/100197190.pdf}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Seymour Eaton, noted bookman, dies of apoplexy|work=Evening Ledger|location=Philadelphia|date=March 13, 1916|page=1+3|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045211/1916-03-13/ed-1/seq-1/}} 6. ^{{cite book|contribution=Eaton, Setmour|title=Men and Women of America: A Biographical Dictionary of Contemporaries|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KOgUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA549|year=1910|publisher=L.R.
