The Baltimore Sun (Baltimore, Maryland), 29 June 1840
This morning, the death of Mr. Eleazer Early, Librarian of the House of Representatives, was announced, and in "less than a pig's whisper", or the "twinkling of a bedpost", some 50 high minded and pious gentleman started on the full run, for the office at the defunct had occupied.
Mr. Eleazer Early was a native of Georgia, and was a brother of the Governor of that State. He was a man of some talent, and spent the better portion of a long life in the capacity of a political lecturer and writer. In the year 1822, he made a tour of the United States, advocating the election of Mr. Crawford to the presidency. He was unsuccessful; and until the election of Gen. Jackson, he was suffered to go unrewarded. Between the years 1824 and 1829, he advocated Gen. Jackson, and for his labors was rewarded with the place he just vacated by death. He was rarely seen in the Hall of the House of Representatives, and was generally found in his office, leading a life of seclusion.
Eleazer's niece, Lucy Augusta Watkins married Dr. George Mathews Meriwether, a second cousin of his wife Jane.
