Joseph Ealer died of a complication of ailments at 5 o'clock this morning at his home, 1803 Hay terrace in Palmer township, following an illness of four weeks. The deceased was a native of Forks township and was born on the 18th of October, 1830, consequently was in the 82nd year of his age.
He was twice married. His second wife and the following children survive him: Mrs. James Messinger, Harvey Ealer, Thomas Ealer, and Mrs. Eugene Hillegass, all of Allentown, Harry Ealer of Williamsport, and Miss Elizabeth Ealer of Media, Pa. He is also survived by two brothers and a sister - George Ealer and Rebecca Ealer of Palmer township and Reuben Ealer of Bath.
Mr. Ealer was a member of Arndt's Lutheran Church and of Weygat Tribe, No. 314, Imp. O.R.M., of Easton.
The deceased was for 45 years in the employ of the Firmstones as a gardener, retiring from work six years ago.

According to Easton Cemetery records there is a George and Sarah also buried in plot G-154; however no dates or last names accompany the record. It is possible that they were moved from another location and re-interred. I am yet investigating this to confirm that the George and Sarah buried with him are indeed his parents. I have their dates as such:
George T. Ealer 2/10/1811 - 1/9/1901
Sarah Rasley Ealer 1/3/1813 - 12/29/1874
The records also have a Mamie Shaneberger (infant) who died in 1889 as buried in this plot.
