The Earle family : Ralph Earle and his descendants

Gen.] GENEALOGY. 389
He received a commission from Governor Sprague, in 1863, as
Colonel of the National Cadets of Providence. He was one of the
members of the famous "Water Witch Sixes" of Providence, in the
volunteer fire department. He was President of the Heaton Button
Fastener and the Standard Button Companies, and for years was a
trustee of the Pawtucket Institution for Savings.
Mr. Earle had resided in Pawtucket a score of years, and was
always very much interested in town affairs, taking a prominent part
in all the important matters that arose, and serving the town as
Senator in the General Assembly. He was equable in temperament
and genial in manner, and though he held a high position socially,
his chief pleasure was the enjoyment of his home and family.
