Age 56 years, 8 months, 20 days.
Son of Henry and Ruth (Keese) Earle.
From the "Worcester Daily Spy," 3 Oct 1881:
Death of Timothy K. Earle.
Timothy Keese Earle died at his residence on Edward street Saturday night, of bronchial consumption, age 58 years, 8 months, and 20 days.
He was a native of Leicester, a son of Henry and Ruth Keese Earle, and the last of four brothers, all of whom were prominently connected with the affairs of this city, and have died within the last 13 years, their names being Oliver, who died in 1868, Thomas, twin brother to Timothy, who died in 1871 and Edward, who died in 1877.
The Earles were pioneers in the manufacture of card clothing.
Timothy, when a young man, came to Worcester and established himself in the same business, subsequently uniting with the original business respresented by his uncle Silas.
From a small beginning Timothy built up an extensive business, and until recently was the largest manufacturer of card clothing in the country, and at the time of his death was, with one exception, the largest manufacturer in this line of business in the United States.
The Earles, of whom Timothy K. and his brothers were descendants, were the earliest settlers in Leicester, where they located in 1717, coming from Newport, R. I.
They were among the earliest members of the Society of Friends in this section, and the founders of the church which met in the old Friends' meeting house in the northern part of Leicester.
The deceased had been in poor health for several years, but until two weeks ago was able to attend to his business, although his decline had been quite rapid for several months past.
All through life Mr. Earle was an energetic and enthusiastic worker in whatever he undertook.
He was vigorous in his movements, and equally emphatic in the expression of his opinions, which were always pronounced.
He advocated the anti-slavery and temperance causes in such an unequivocal and direct manner that his writings and sayings could always be promptly recognized, and he never hesitated to express an opinion, in public or in private, on any question which agitated the public mind. He has several times been a member of the school board, and has grequently been the candidate of the prohibitory party for various offices, among them being lieutenant governor, senator and mayor. Only last week he was nominated by the prohibitionist for lieutenant governor.
He leaves a wife and four children.
(Note: his son, Daniel Osborne Earle, died 23 Nov 1957 in South Orleans, MA. b. 3 Sep 1869 in Worcester, Harvard Class of 1893; leaving one son, Osborne Earle.)
