  Early Sr., Henry H.   
   
  Henry H. Early Sr., 76, of North Annville Township died peacefully Monday, 
  October 27, 2008, natural causes in his residence surrounded by his loving 
  family. He was the beloved husband of Grace E. Maulfair Early, with whom he 
  would have celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary this December. Born in 
  North Annville Township on December 27, 1931, he was the son of the late Frank 
  Early of Palmyra, and the late Carrie Eckert Early of Schuylkill Haven. He 
  attended the oneroom schoolhouse at North Annville until seventh grade, when he 
  went to work full time on his father's farm. He married Grace Maulfair of North 
  Londonderry Township in 1950. The couple owned and operated the Early family's 
  85-acre dairy farm in North Annville, and farmed 500 acres of rented land from 
  1950 until 1971. Henry went to work for Hershey Foods Corporation as an HVAC 
  technician in 1972, and stayed until his retirement, 25 years later. Henry was 
  a member of the Lebanon Valley Antique Tractor Club, the Annville-Cleona Lions 
  Club, a life-time member of the Bellegrove Fire Company, and worshipped at Zion 
  Evangelical Congregational Church of Annville. He loved restoring antique 
  tractors, and attending tractor pulls with his children, grandchildren, and 
  friends. He restored a dozen antique tractors, and drove his favorite tractors 
  in parades in Schaefferstown, Kutztown, Gratz, and Annville. He enjoyed 
  spending time with his family and friends playing cards and putting puzzles 
  together. He also enjoyed gardening and raising his own vegetables. Henry told 
  jokes like a true comedian, and could make anyone smile. His love and laughter 
  will be dearly missed. Henry was the devoted father of three sons, Henry H. 
  Early Jr. and wife Marilyn of Palmyra, Frank C. Early and wife Sue of Fontana, 
  and William C. Early and companion Pamela Hermany of Annville; two daughters, 
  Patricia A., wife of Paul Lytle of Annville, and Debra G., wife of Rick 
  Kleinfelter of Annville; 13 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Also 
  surviving are a brother, Harold Early of Palmyra; and two sisters, Alice 
  Swinehart of Countryside Christian Community, Annville, and Jane, wife of David 
  Shuey of Annville. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Leah Kleinfelter 
  and Mary Early. Funeral services will be held on Friday at 11 a.m. from Zion 
  Evangelical Congregational Church, 710 S. White Oak Street, Annville. Interment 
  will be in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Palmyra. Viewing will be held on Thursday 
  evening from 6-9 p.m. from the Kreamer Funeral Home and Crematory, 618 E. Main 
  St., Annville, and also on Friday from 1011 a.m. at the church. In lieu of
