MO - William Earle, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of Barry Co., and once president of the board of directors of the Barry Co. Bank at Cassville, was born in Ross Co., OH, on May 23, 1896. He is a son of Grantham and Margaret (Hewitt) Earle, natives of Maryland and Pennsylvania, respectively. In his youth Grantham Earle followed the sea, and while yet a young man went into Ross Co., OH, and worked at the brick mason's trade and engaged in farming on a small scale. During the War of 1812 he was taken prisoner on a man of war, but escaped with only a part of his clothing. One foot being bare, and the weather very cold, his foot was so severely frozen that he remained a cripple for life, his death occurring near Lower Sandusky, OH in 1853, at the age of 96 years. His wife was a daughter of Thomas Hewitt, who served in the commissary department in the Revolutionary War. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and business capacity, and was a member of the Legislature of his native state. He died at the advanced age of 104 years in Ross Co. OH. Mrs. Earle was twice married and by her first marriage with Jesse Funston, she was the mother of 3 children, the subject of this sketch being the only one living. He grew to manhood on a farm, making his home with his father until he was 21 years of age. He received his education by private instruction, and when he left his father's house engaged in teaching school, which he continued for several terms. In 1834 he married Elizabeth Kyle, who was born in 1814, in Ross Co. OH and soon after removed to Pike Co., IL, locating on a farm of 100 acres. In 1853 he removed to Bell Co., TX and remained until 1866 when he came to Barry Co., MO, locating two miles north of Cassville. Mrs. Earle died in 1853. There are 4 children living by this marriage: Eliza (widow of Elisha Stubblefield of Barry Co.), Mary (wife of George J. Elam, of Marlin, TX), George (a farmer of Barry Co.), and Charity (widow of Elias Owens, who now resides with her father). In 1855, Mr. Earle married Susan Kyle a sister of his first wife, by whom he has one child, Charles, a farmer of Barry Co. His second wife died in 1873 and the following year, Mr. Earle married Mrs. Miriam Williams, nee Forbis, who was born in Barry Co. She died in 1878. Mr. Earle commenced life as a poor man, working for $9 per month after leaving the parental roof, but he has been very active and industrious, and has been successful in all his business transactions, and has accumulated property that affords him a good income. In Jan. 1887 the Barry Co. Bank was established, and Mr. Earle was elected president of the board of directors. His honesty and integrity have never been questioned, and he is held in high esteem by all who know him. In politics he is a Republican, having been a Jackson Democrat before the war. His first vote was cast for Jackson in 1828, and he has voted in every presidential election since. In religion he holds to the Methodistic doctrine. "Uncle Billy", as he is familiarly called, reared and now owns a bald face sorrel horse, named "Ball", 33 years old, and is yet a nimble and serviceable horse,. They have grown old together and are much attached to each other. Death alone will separate them. - Another Photo | Goodspeed Phyllis Long Headstone Mary Homesley |
