Interesting that Sarah's is recorded as Fitch. I presume that the Eaton's of Middleboro/Norwood are the right one's, even though Lawrence and Sarah were living and married in Malden. (Lawrence was living with Osgood and Wilbur.) the children's birth's do list mother from Maine and father from Hingham, which is consistent. Census records have the ages about right as well.

In 1930, Sarah and Isabel are living with Clifford's family in Maine.

The 1918 city directory lists Lawrence as an electrotyper, living at 907 Washington. The next available directory is 1924, and it does not list this Eaton family.

I would check with the Norwood town clerk to see if they have a death recorded b/w 1920 and 1924.

You could also try the Norwood library reference desk to see if they have directories b/w 1920 and 1923.
