Ferdinand P. Earle

His father, William Pitt Earle, was for many years a leading hotel proprietor in New York City, and at the time of his death, was one of the oldest men in that line of business.

For ten years after his reentrance into military life he was chairman of the Auxiliary Committee of the Grand Army of the Republic.

[2] He was for many years chairman and treasurer of the Citizens' Auxiliary Committee of the G. A. R. His charitable and benevolent operations were well known, and the "Earle Guild," founded by him for the relief of the needy, accomplished much good in this direction.

There were four surviving sons by his second marriage: Ferdinand Pinney, Victor de La Montagne, William Pitt Striker, and Guyon Locke Crocheron.

The wealthy artist-poet then met a Miss Julie Kuttner, and persuaded the first to return to Paris with their son for a divorce so he could marry his "preordained affinity".
