SAMUEL E. EARLE, the subject of this article, is of the sixth generation from Edward Earle, Jr., who came from Maryland, as stated in the foregoing sketch. His father, Samuel E. Earle, Sr., a life-long farmer, was born in old English Neighborhood, now Ridgefield, filled the offices of school trustee, road master, etc., and died March 12, 1898, at the age of ninety-seven years and fourteen days; his father was Nathaniel Earle, also a farmer. The wife of Samuel E. Earle, Sr., was Eliza McDonald, who was born in North Bergen, and who died there March 28, 1898, aged eighty-seven. She was of Scotch descent. Her paternal grandmother lived to be over one hundred years old. Mr. and Mrs. Earle were both endowed with great force of character and with attainments of a high order, and during their lives were universally respected and esteemed for those sterling qualities which distinguish their race. Of their eight children three are living, namely : Matthias T. Earle, of Jersey City Heights, N. J.; Samuel E. Earle, of North Bergen; and Abraham McDonald Earle, of Brooklyn, N. Y.

Samuel E. Earle was born December 15, 1848, in North Bergen, Hudson County, N. J., where he has always resided. After attending the public schools of his native town he took up his father's vocation, that of farmer, which he has since followed, engaging also from time to time in contract work on roads and streets. He has been Road Commissioner of North Bergen for nine years and a member of the North Bergen Board of Education since 1592. In politics he is an independent Democrat. Mr. Earle has filled every position with ability and satisfaction, and during an active career has won and maintained the confidence of his fellow-citizens. His interest in township affairs, his faithful attention to the trusts committed to his care, and his unfailing public spirit and patriotism, together with his industry, enterprise, and activity, have gained for him universal esteem and respect. He is a member of the Royal Society of Good Fellows.

November 4, 1880, Mr. Earle married Miss Mary S. Rodgers, daughter of Abiatha and Rhoda Rodgers, of New York City. They have two children: Rhoda Ann and Fred Reed.
