Asotin Washington: Originally named Has-Hu-Tin (meaning eel) by Native Americans, Asotin was later renamed by early settlers. Because of its mild climate, Asotin, at the confluence of the Snake River and Asotin Creek, is part of the "banana belt" of eastern Washington.
Asotin's historical background is evident in a number of the downtown buildings, including the courthouse, and the beautiful old homes dating back to the 1880's and early 1900's, also there is an historical flour mill, located above the old city park on Asotin Creek. Visit nearby attractions such as Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, Wallowa Mountains, Blue Mountains, and Hat Point. Asotin is also the home of the Asotin County Fair, held the last week in April and includes a downtown parade each year. It is the first yearly county fair in the State of Washington.

She is from Kentucky and didn't recognize anything that might connect the families. But she is only starting to hunt up history for their family. She is working at the University... She said before her grandfather died, they spelled it Eades but dropped the last E and in that book I have, the names were spelled with 2 E's. Here are the names from that book [assuming it is the "History of the Eads Family" by Rev George R Eads] Soloman, Abraham, Henry, John and Clark Eades. So it looks as tho they formaly spelled it that way too. She looked at Grandma's picture and said she looked quite a bit like her father...said her people were Baptists but that they hadn't found any link with James Buchanon Eads."
