Belding Banner, 14 Dec 1911

James Morris Earle In His Ninety Fifth Year Is Called To Rest.

At his home in Otisco Mr. Earle passed peacefully away at the ripe old age of 
nearly ninety-five years.  He came here more than forty years ago and a number 
of years was a mail carrier on the Smyrna Belding route, until the Pere 
Marquette road was built.  He was a pioneer citizen much respected by all who 
knew him.

James Morris Earle was born in Truston, Courtland County, New York, March 23rd, 
1817, died in Otisco, Ionia County, Michigan, December 8th, 1911.  What wealth 
of experience these dates enclose, almost a century of life fulfilling the 
promise, “With length of days will I satisfy thee.”  He was baptized at the age 
of twelve years, he was a Baptist during eighty-two years.  For more than 
thirty-five years he was Senior Deacon of the Baptist church of Smyrna.

The earlier years of his life were spent in his native state, where he married 
the wife of his youth, Miss Charlotte Hough.  From this union there survive two 
daughters Helen M. and Fannie of Smyrna, and two sons A.B. Earle of Belding, 
and J. Milton Earle of Detroit.  Three years after the death of his first wife 
which occurred in Smyrna, twelve years after the arrival of the family in 
Michigan he was married to Sarah Buttolph, who with their son John M. Earle of 
Arcadia, Florida, mourns a loving husband and father.  He survived eighteen 
brothers and sisters what a joyful reunion on the other shore, and we two 
enriched and blessed by his example and prayers await the summons to join those 
gone before.

Card of Thanks.  We wish to express our sincere thanks to our friends and 
neighbors for their kind assistance during the sickness and death of our 
husband and father.  Mrs. Sarah B. Earle, Miss Helen Earle, Miss Fannie Earle, 
Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Earle, Mr. and Mrs. J. Milton Earle, J. Maurice Earle.
