Early, Charles, Chester, was born in Kiltabrid, County Leitrim, Ireland,
August 15, 1826, and was reared on a farm there, attending a common school
till fifteen years old. In November, 1852, he landed in New York city,
where he remained till June, 1856. He then went to Whiteside county,
Illinois, and came thence to Chester in April, 1859. He entered the
northeast quarter of section 10 as a homestead, and has dwelt thereon ever
since, and has since acquired by purchase one-fourth of section 16. Mr.
Early is reckoned among our most intelligent and progressive citizens. He
is a member of Belle Chester Roman Catholic church, and a democrat. He was
married in New York, January 7, 1855, to Jane Darcy, who was born in the
same parish as himself. They have lost five children, and now have one
son, born November 25, 1862, and christened Charles Edward.
