Posted on: Hancock Co. Il Obituaries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/HancockObits/346 Surname: Earls ------------------------- PLYMOUTH. It is with profound regret we learn of the death of our former neighbor and personal friend, Wm. H. Earl, which occurred at his home in Middle Creek on the 5th. We had been intimately acquainted with Mr. Earl for over a half century, and never once during this long interval heard his character called in question. As a husband, father, citizen and friend, his reputation was irreproachable. We feel a sense of personal loss in the death of so old and so valued a friend. Mr. Earl was born in Floyd county, Va., 72 years ago. He had been a partial invalid for a number of years, and bore his long suffering with fortitude and resignation.
