Oldest son of Jonathan and Amanda Earle and 6th great-grandson of progenitor Ralph Earle, who came to Rhode Island from England by 1638. As a teen, Chalon volunteered as part of the "Cullen Guard" burial party after the August 18, 1862 Dakota uprising near his home in Renville County, Minnesota which killed his brother, Radnor. His mother and sisters were taken hostage by Dakota leaders Little Crow and Shakopee (Little Six).
On September 2, Chalon and his brother, Ezmon, with the "Cullen Guard" survived the dawn ambush at Birch Coulee. The day after his mother and sisters were released from their captors, Chalon enlisted with the 1st MN Rgt Cavalry's "Mounted Rangers" as a Corporal, Co G on October 6, 1862. He later became a Sgt. with the 2nd MN Rgt, Co H for duration of the Civil War until discharged April 28, 1866 after four years of service. [Pension Certif. 1005512 and Iowa GAR]
Chalon joined his parents and siblings in Iowa after his discharge. He married Ella M. Beadell on February 20, 1873 in Iowa and had two children: Muriel Estelle and Ralph Radnor. First working as a clerk in Iowa, his interest turned to mining and prospecting in the Montana and Idaho gold and silver rushes. In the June, 1880 census, Chalon and his brother Herman were gold placer miners in Montana. From 1884 Chalon was involved with the formation of a mining boom town, Mullan, in Shoshone Co., Idaho with four others. They officially filed their plat maps for the town and streets of Mullan in August, 1888, according to local histories.
In the June 6, 1900 census, Chalon was still a prospector, living with his brother, Herman, in Mullan. His wife, Ella, was then living in Chicago, IL with their married daughter.
Likely buried in the Miner's Union Cemetery in Mullan.
