Mr. Pearson died Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1993 at the Niobrara County Memorial Hospital in Lusk. He was born June 5, 1922 at Harrison, Neb., the son of Carl A. and Lillie E. Pearson of Niobrara County, Wyo.

Earl was educated at Fairview rural school and graduated from Lusk High School in 1942.

Earl worked for local ranchers around the county as a young boy and later worked at the Lance Creek Gas Plant for a few years. He also worked at the Mule Creek Oil Fields for approximately 14 years, leaving there in 1959 and moving back to the family ranch after his father had suffered a stroke.

Earl married Esther Sheaman, daughter of John and Myrtle Sheaman of Mule Creek, and they resided on the family ranch. They raised cattle and Registered Quarter Horses. In recent years he also raised Registered Paint Horses.

Horses were Earl's favorite hobby. He especially enjoyed watching the newborn colts play.

He was preceded in death by his parents and an eleven-year-old daughter, Karolyn.

Survivors include his wife, Esther, a daughter, Kathryn Lutt of Wayne, Neb.; three sons, Carl, of Wright, Wyo., and Gary and Russell of the home ranch; two sisters, Doris Schutt of Edgemont, S.D., and Alice Sheamean of Gillette, Wyo.; and five grandchildren, Tanya, Carla and Cody Pearson, and Lyle and Lesa Lutt.

For those who wish, memorials to the American Heart Association will be appreciated by the family.
