"DAUGHTER OF 1812 DIES AT PALMYRA -- Sarah Hummel Early Passes Away at Age of 87 Years -- Palmyra, Sept. 24.--Sarah Hummel Early, who died Sunday, September 22, was a daughter of the late Colonel Joseph Hummel, of Hummelstown, who served in the War of 1812. She was born in Hummelstown June 11, 1825, and in 1846 was married to Martin Early and moved to Palmyra in that year, residing continuously in the same house for fifty-two years until it was destroyed by fire in 1900, on the corner where the present Greiner building is located. For the past ten years she has resided in the home built by her son Martin H. Early.
The death of Mrs. Early brings to mind an interesting bit of local history. Her husband, the late Martin Early, who died eleven years ago, in his day enjoyed the distinction of being Palmyra's leading citizen. In 1845 he helped to build Palm Lutheran church in the west end of the town. During 1853 he purchased the farm north of the depot for the purpose of bringing water to town and also purchased at his own expense, the necessary water pipes. His public spirit led him in 1856 to present to the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company the land upon which the present depot is located.
In 1859 Mr. Early built the first grain warehouse in Palmyra and conducted a large grain business, in which he continued during the Civil War and for several years after.
During the years from 1875 to 1885, Mr. Early served Palmyra as postmaster. In 1892 he was one of the leading spirits in organizing St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, and took great interest in its affairs.
Mrs. Early is survived by her three sons, Edwin K., of town; Silas L. of Carlisle, and Martin H., of New York City. Services will be held at her late residence, corner of South Railroad and Maple streets, Wednesday, at 2 p.m.."--24 Sep 1912, The Harrisburg (PA) Daily Independent
