Wednesday, July 12th at 1pm
See Below for Reservation Details
Join Annabel Earle Lesher and her husband, Ronald Lesher, as they read excerpts from three letters of Matthew Tilghman Goldsborough Earle. The letters, written from Urbanna, Virginia in 1931 to his son, John Goldsborough Earle, describe various business ventures in Easton, Maryland in the 1880’s. M.T.G. Earle was the son of Dr. John Charles Earle, one of the founding physicians of Memorial Hospital here in Easton, who lived on a farm, Brooklets, at the southern edge of the town of Easton. In 1883, upon the death of his brother, James, at the railroad crossing on Goldsborough Street, M.T.G. Earle returned from Baltimore to try his hand at various businesses – selling coal and lumber, managing a property insurance agency, delivering ice for the iceboxes in homes and businesses in Easton, and working as the cashier of the Talbot Savings Bank on Dover Street. He was joined in those ventures by William Dawson, who would become his brother-in-law in 1888.
