Earlville

Here are a few facts and photos about Earlville, where Ruth had her apiary business, and where today there is a Park and a Library named in her honor.

Ruth was living here when Ferner drove over from Cedar Falls to meet her. She loved her little cottage, and the money she earned from keeping bees helped her go to New York City to write each winter.
