Notes
a. Note:   Played trombone in the Newton City band and was a lay preacher.
  Earnest L. Earley, clerk of the district court in and for Jasper County, was born in Mahaska County in August 1871, but a few months later the family came to this county and settled in Palo Alto Township where they remained until about eleven years ago when they moved to this city.
  Earnest attended the country schools, then the public schools of this city, also Hazel Dell Academy. He afterward clerked in Erret's Clothing Store for a year then began working for O. N. Wagley in the south side drug store where he remained for eight years. Having at this time been taking quite an active interest in politics and being an ardent Republican, he was tendered the deputyship in the clerk's office, which he accepted.
  At the Republican County Convention held in this city last summer a very curious thing happened. Some of Mr. Earley's friends had wanted him to be a candidate for the nomination of clerk, but he steadily refused to do so. He had not found the duties and confinement of the office just to his taste. But in the convention some delegation began balloting for him in spite of his urgent requests and declination he was nominated. Coming as it did he did not feel that he could refuse to make the race. The result was that he led his ticket by a handsome vote. He entered upon his duties as clerk at once now and announces his determination to make his administration the best that the office has ever seen.
  Mr. Earley was married Dec. 10, 1895 to Miss Daisy Brooke. They have recently purchased a neat home on East Marion Street, which is now being remodeled and which they will soon occupy. ~ The Daily Herald, Illustrated Edition, Friday, January 1, 1903, Page 23, Column 2.
