Biography
Omar J. Eaton was an IWW member from Eureka. Omar J. Eaton received a five-year prison sentence, which he served in San Quentin from July 8, 1922, to April 1926.
The International Labor Defense holiday roster in the December 29, 1925 Daily Worker lists this prisoner, printed as Omer J. Eaton, at San Quentin California. Its printed identifier is 36627; this is a prison number or mailing designation, not a year or a custody date. This documents confinement at the roster’s reporting time, without establishing an admission, transfer, release, new conviction or complete duration. Existing independently sourced custody chronology remains separate. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1925/1925-ny/v02b-n297-NYE-dec-29-1925-DW-LOC.pdf#page=5
The May 1927 Labor Defender explicitly lists Omar J. Eaton among prisoners actually released, giving April 1927. This contemporary completed-release report corrects the earlier missing or conflicting endpoint. It does not establish complete continuous custody or turn an imposed term into actual time served.

The February 26, 1924 Daily Worker political-prisoner roster individually prints Omar J. Eaton with historical prisoner number 36627. The entry appears under San Quentin State Prison, California. This is a contemporary institutional identifier, not a federal BOP register number. No admission or release date, individual sentence length, actual duration, organizational membership or present status is inferred.
