Wife of Late Thompson Earle Dies At Eighty Three, Funeral This Afternoon
Mrs Thompson Earle, one of the oldest residents of Columbia, died at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at her home, 1793 Laurel street. The funeral will be held at the late residence at 4 o'clock this afternoon, conducted by the Rev H A McCullough, pastor of St Paul's Lutheran church, of which she had long been a member. The interment will be in Elmwood cemetery.
The late Mrs Earle was before marriage Miss Caolina Leaphart, daughter of Michael Leaphart, a planter of the Dutch fork. Her ancestors came to America with a German colony in 1720. Three of her brothers, all of whom are now dead, served throughout the War Between the Sections in the Confederate Army. One was Sherod Leaphart, who was afterwards comptroller general of South Carolina and was elected State treasurer on the Hampton ticket in 1876. Another brother was Godfrey Leaphart, for many years a representative from Lexington county in the State legislature, and the other brother was Sam Leaphart, for many years assistant postmaster at Columbia.
Mrs Earle was born in 1832 and therefore was 83 years of age. She was educated at Barhamville academy, Columbia's famous school for women of ante-bellum times. Her husband, the late Thompson Earle was a graduate of the University of South Carolina. For some time they lived in Alabama, where Mr Earle was a planter. They returned to Columbia in 1868 and Mr Earle died in 1887.
Mrs Earle is survived by seven children and 17 grandchildren. The children are: Miss Alice Earle of Columbia, Miss Cornelia Earle, who teaches art in a Lutheran college at Salem, Virginia; and Mrs A B Knowlton, Mrs J H Sams, Mrs Robert Drayton Earle, John J Earle and F Sumter Earle, all of this city.
About six months ago Mrs Earle fell and broke her hip. She had been an invalid since. Recently she took pneumonia.
A woman of many fine traits of character, Mrs Earle numbered her friends by scores and many Columbians mourn her death.
