The funeral card

From the funeral card

IN LOVING

REMEMBRANCE OF

ELDORUS EARL

Died Jan. 16, 1929

Age 76 years

Gone but not forgotten

A precious one from us has gone

A voice we loved is stilled,

A place is vacant in our home,

Which never can be filled.

God in His wisdom has recalled,

The boon His love had given,

And though the body slumbers here,

The soul is safe in Heaven.

The back of the card has "Died Jan. 18 - 1929" lightly penciled in — two days later than the printed date on the front.

Brian's research

The 1920 census places Eldorus Earl, age 67, born New York, living in Liberty Township, Montgomery County, Kansas, with his wife Effie, born Missouri.

Clues for more census findings on this family: Eldorus Earl, 56, born New York, appears in Liberty Township, Montgomery County, Kansas in the 1910 census, and E. Earl, 48, born New York, in the same township in 1900.
