JESSE EARL.

    Jesse Earl, president of the Earl & England Publishing Company, publishers
of the Journal at Logan, was born October 30, 1870, in the city in which he
still resides. His father, the late Jacob Earl, was a native of St. John, New
Brunswick. William Earl, the paternal grandfather of Jesse Earl, became one of
the earliest of the settlers of Utah and on reaching this state took up his
abode in Ogden. Subsequently he removed to Farmington and during the '60s became
a resident of Logan. His son, Jacob Earl, learned and followed the cooper's
trade, residing in Logan throughout the greater part of his life. He reached the
venerable age of eighty-nine years, while the mother of Jesse Earl, who in her
maidenhood was Fannie Cummings, a native of Maine, died in 1911, at the age of
seventy-three years. The family numbered ten children, seven of whom are yet
living, and of the two sons and eight daughters Jesse Earl was the ninth in
order of birth.

    Jesse Earl started out to earn his own livelihood as the "devil" in the
printing office of the Utah Journal when but eleven years of age and in that
office thoroughly acquainted himself with the printer's trade, which he followed
as a journeyman until 1894. He had previously become associated with Charles
England in leasing the plant of the Logan Journal, which they conducted under a
partnership relation until April, 1897. The business was then incorporated and
on the expiration of the lease in January, 1900, the partners were owners of the
business. Mr. Earl became the president and Mr. England the vice president and
general manager of the Earl & England Publishing Company and they have since
owned and conducted the Journal, which is one of the leading papers of northern
Utah.

    On the 18th of April, 1894, Mr. Earl was married to Miss Mae Needham, a
native of Salt Lake City and a daughter of John and Martha (Rose) Needham, whose
people had long been residents of Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Earl have become parents of
four children: Jesse LeVon, Ernest Eugene, Glenn Needham and Frank Hylton. The
first three of the sons served in the great World war. Jesse LeVon was a member
of the Two Hundred and Sixtieth Aviation Corps and was stationed in England.
Ernest Eugene was stationed at Fort Douglas in California and Glenn was a member
of the Student Army Training Corps.

    Mr. Earl gives his political allegiance to the democratic party and is a
member of the Logan Commercial Club, while his religious belief is that of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On all vital questions he maintains
a progressive stand, looking ever beyond the exigencies of the moment to the
opportunities of the future in his support of plans and projects for the public
good.
