Buried next to his wife of 68 years, Eugenia Faye Smith, in Greenwood Cemetery, Weatherford, Texas. Earl worked for more than 25 years at Walgreen Creamery in Shelbyville, Ill.

Earl met his wife Eugenia in Herron's Dry
Goods store where she worked. Earl was working on a construction crew that
was building the new Post Office. One of his gloves had gotten a hole in
it and he wandered into Herron's looking for needle and thread to patch
it. Faye, with her usual straightforwardness and no-nonsense approach,
told him, "You need a wife to do that for you." Earl, never one to back
down, said, "How about you? You'll do." They were married in 1927. |
