Earl was raised in Douglas county and in and around Winterset, Iowa. On January 22, 1924, Earl took Goldie Hester to be his wife, and together they moved to a farm south of Van Meter, Iowa. To this union was born three sons: Dean, Melvin and Paul. Then in 1936, together with his family, he moved to another farm west of Adel. Paul, his son, died in an auto accident in April 1953, and Goldie, his wife, passed away after a prolonged illness in April 1954.

Then on March 121, 1956, Earl joined again in marriage to Marian Kinney of Dallas Center. He retired from the farm in 1956, after 45 years of farming. Earl lived his last two years in Redfield. Earl suffered from heart trouble.
