Julia Salter Earle (1878-1945) was born on September 20, 1878, in St. John’s, Newfoundland, the twelfth child of Elizabeth Brown Chauncey and William Thomas Hall Salter. She was educated at Methodist College in St. John’s. Salter married Arthur Edward Earle, a St. John’s jeweller in 1903 and had six children.

Earle worked in the Newfoundland Legislative Assembly for thirty-five years as an engrossing clerk, preparing every statute for endorsement by the Legislature. This work provided her with a wide knowledge of the law in Newfoundland and aided her in her later work in politics, labour unions, and community organizations.
