1877.
He was commemorated by the subjoined obituary, in a newspaper
at Hermon :
"The death of Otis Earle, Esq., took place at his residence in this
village at an early hour Monday morning, Feb. 5th. His disease was
pneumonia, brought on, in part, it is believed, by his over-exertion
at the burning of Mr. Van Atter's house, a week before his death.
He passed away calmly and peacefully.
His funeral was attended on Wednesday, by Rev. Dr. J. S. Lee,
of Canton, assisted by Rev. J. H. McCullough, of this village. It is
estimated that nearly a thousand persons were present during the
services, though many could not get into the church, which was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The Freemasons, accompanied by
the band, whose instruments were draped in mourning, were present
from Canton, Russell, Edwards, Richville, Gouverneur and Hermon,
175 in number, and they conducted the solemn and impressive service
of the Order at the grave, through their representatives, Rev. Mr.
McCullough and Hon. D. S. Lynde.
Mr. Earle was a resident of this village fifteen years, having previously
done business in partnership with J. B. Pickett, Esq., in
Edwards, for more than ten years. Peace to his memory." ,
