*** Police Officer ***
Earl was the son of Willie Earnest and Myrtle N. (?) Ashton, and was born in Marion County, Arkansas.
His sibling were: Maxine, Ruth, Ikey E.and Evert.
He was married to Bonnie Stacy (?) and they had a daughter, Gwen, born in 1946. She died in 2014.
It's unclear when Earl entered law enforcement, but he is mentioned in 1943 as having served as a Traffic Officer. He was uniformed, armed and outfitted with a motorcycle that sported red lights and siren.
In those days, the Division of Motor Vehicles, pursuant to the Vehicle Act of 1923, was authorized to appoint inspectors and traffic officers to enforce the Act; these personnel were later spun off in 1947 into the Department of the California Highway Patrol!
By 1951 he had worked his way up to Police Lieutenant and then Captain in 1955.
Sometime after 1969, he appears to have retired from enforcement and became a salesman for a time.
He died in Salinas in 2004.
