At the end of that time, in 1880, he removed to Malvern, where he purchased the Malvern livery stable. He kept a good stock of saddle and driving horses and buggies and carriages, and he built up a first class and very remunerative patronage.
In Politics Mr Eachus was a republican, and believed in the principles of the party of Lincoln, Grant, and Harrison. Since going to Malvern he served as street commissioner, but was never anxious for any political office. His Livery business and other enterprises in which he was interested took up most of his time.
