E
The
late SAMUEL S. EARLE
was one of the best and most
prominent citizens of Jefferson for fifty years. He was a native of South
Carolina, where he was born in 1799, and came to Alabama in 1820. Locating
in Jefferson, his skill as a physician, his many excellencies of character, his
literary culture, and practical sense soon gave him prominence. He
represented the county in the legislature in 1832, and three or four times
subsequently; the last time in 1842, when his party was in a hopeless minority
in Jefferson. But he preferred peace of domestic
life;
"And, to add greater honors to his
age
Than man could give him, he died fearing GOD."
This event occurred in this
county, December 20, 1870. His numerous descendants are in Jefferson, and
are among its most respected citizens.
