Two generations of Egolfs to lead Turtle Days parade
Friday, June 20 2008
By VIV ROSSWURM
for The Post & Mail
CHURUBUSCO — A father and two sons, all of whom served on the Smith-Green Board of School Trustees, will lead Saturday’s Turtle Days parade.
Russell Egolf and his two sons, Ned and Mel Egolf, all of Churubusco, have been named the parade grand marshals. The parade will begin at 6 p.m. and travel north on Main Street (U.S. 33) beginning at the United Methodist Church at 750 N. Main St. to Washington Street, where it will turn west and proceed to the Churubusco high School parking lot.
Because the theme of this year’s festival is “Past, Present & Future” with a focus on the Smith-Green School system and the Churubusco Alumni Association, the Egolfs were chosen for their dedication not only to the community, but to the school corporation, as well.
Not only is there a solid connection between the Egolf family and the school system, but members of the Egolf family were instrumental in establishing and supporting the Churubusco Community Park.
“Our great aunt, Sadie Beavers, was in the first graduating class of Churubusco High School,” Mel Egolf said. And our mom’s dad, Abe Nestel, along with Jerome Krider and Guy Gross, spearheaded the park.”
Today, Mel is the Green Township trustee and is especially proud of the fact that the township will this year donate $6,000 to the Churubusco Park.
“When I first started as trustee six years ago, there was no money going to the park, but we have been able to increase the amount we donate every year,” Mel said. “I feel good about that, but it’s only through the help of a good advisory board that it happened.”
Russell and Martha Egolf raised four children on their farm in Green Township — Jann, Ned, Mel and Brian. All four graduated from Churubusco High School, as did their mother, Martha, and both of Martha’s parents, Abe and Ruth Nestel.
Russell served on the Smith-Green School Board for seven years, beginning in September, 1979, when board member Phil Arehart became ill.
Not only did two of Russell’s sons serve on the school board, his daughter, Jann Johnson, is a teacher at Indian Springs in Columbia City, and two daughter-in-laws are long time employees of Smith-Green Schools.
Mel served one 4-year term after his father, and Ned followed Mel, serving from 1995-2006.
For 20 years before he retired, Russell and his three sons farmed together.
Russell and Martha — who is retired from Dana Distribution in Churubusco — are both members of the Churubusco United Methodist Church and are often seen volunteering at various church events.
Mel is still self-employed as a dairy farmer at his farm on U.S. 33 north of Churubusco, and his son, Chad, also works on the farm. His wife, Susie, has been employed at Smith-Green Schools for almost 20 years. Their daughter, Lindsay, lives and works in Greenfield.
Ned, a dairy farmer, also is employed by Helena Chemical in Kimmell where he works in ag retail. He and his wife, Cathy, live across from his parents’ family farm on C.R. 100E. They have two daughters, Courtney and Leslie, both of whom are occupational therapists.
For seven years, just before going to work for Helena Chemicals, Ned and his brother, Brian, also a farmer, were co-owners of Egolf Grain Co.
The Egolf family has always been strong supporter of 4-H and 4-H activities. All have served on 4-H councils and boards and in different capacities as 4-H leaders and advisers.
“All of us kids grew up being involved in 4-H and our kids did too,” Ned Egolf said.
The family was also very involved in the youth leagues at Churubusco Community Park. “It’s the same story,” Mel Egolf said. “All of us kids played ball there and our kids did, too.”
Ned served on the Noble Whitley County Coop Board of Directors and the Whitley County Fair Board.
Mel served on the Noble County Farm Bureau Board for four years, serving on three different state committees. “I enjoyed that a lot,” he said.
“Dad and I both served on the school board during the construction of a building project,” Ned Egolf said.
“Dad always encouraged us to get involved,” Mel Egolf said. “None of us wanted to be on the (school) board forever, though. There’s a lot of good people out there to step up to the plate and who can do a good job.”

Wednesday February 18, 1920
Mrs. Walter Hively, one of the well known young married women of Throncreek township, died at her home at 12:30 o'clock Saturday morning, death being due to pneumonia. She had only been sick since Thursday, but she became rapidly worse as the malady got a firmer hold upon her, and being an unusually strong, hearty young woman, was just the type that is most likely to die once they become afflicted with the dreaded ailment. Mr. Hively was taken sick first, but he is slightly better now and is able to be up and about the house.
The family moved to their present home about a month ago. They had been living on the Henry Snyder farm in Thorncreek township, near the West Point church, but Mr. Hively bought what is known as the old mill farm formerly owned by the late Frederick Magley on the shores of Round lake and he and his wife and babies had moved onto the place, happy in their anticipation of living and prospering there.
Blanche May Fisher was a daughter of George and Sophia Egolf Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and she was born May 31, 1895, being 24 years, 8 months and 12 days old at the time of her demise. There are two surviving children, Joy Evaline, aged 4 years, and George W., aged 1 year. They were married five years ago last Halloween. There are three brothers, Charles and Alton Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and Lewis Fisher, of this city and four sisters, Mrs. Bert Waugh, of Thorncreek township, Mrs. Heber Humbarger, of Decatur, and Josephine and Anna Fisher, at home, in Thorncreek township.
The deceased was a devout member of the Church of God, and she was a young woman who had many friends who mourn with the grief-stricken members of the family in this hour of their great loss.
The funeral services will be conducted from the Hively church in Thorncreek township, Monday morning at 11 o'clock, by Rev. Herendeen with interment in the Hively cemetery.

Mrs. Walter Hively, one of the well known young married women of Throncreek township, died at her home at 12:30 o'clock Saturday morning, death being due to pneumonia. She had only been sick since Thursday, but she became rapidly worse as the malady got a firmer hold upon her, and being an unusually strong, hearty young woman, was just the type that is most likely to die once they become afflicted with the dreaded ailment. Mr. Hively was taken sick first, but he is slightly better now and is able to be up and about the house.
The family moved to their present home about a month ago. They had been living on the Henry Snyder farm in Thorncreek township, near the West Point church, but Mr. Hively bought what is known as the old mill farm formerly owned by the late Frederick Magley on the shores of Round lake and he and his wife and babies had moved onto the place, happy in their anticipation of living and prospering there.
Blanche May Fisher was a daughter of George and Sophia Egolf Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and she was born May 31, 1895, being 24 years, 8 months and 12 days old at the time of her demise. There are two surviving children, Joy Evaline, aged 4 years, and George W., aged 1 year. They were married five years ago last Halloween. There are three brothers, Charles and Alton Fisher, of Thorncreek township, and Lewis Fisher, of this city and four sisters, Mrs. Bert Waugh, of Thorncreek township, Mrs. Heber Humbarger, of Decatur, and Josephine and Anna Fisher, at home, in Thorncreek township.
The deceased was a devout member of the Church of God, and she was a young woman who had many friends who mourn with the grief-stricken members of the family in this hour of their great loss.
The funeral services will be conducted from the Hively church in Thorncreek township, Monday morning at 11 o'clock, by Rev. Herendeen with interment in the Hively cemetery.
Children are listed above under (197) Blanche May Fisher.
