Notes for CATHERINE EGOLF:
Hively, Catharine Egolf
Posted October 15, 2003 ~ GSWC First Families of Whitley County (037-FF, 046-FF)
Source: Columbia City Post – Whitley County, Indiana
Wednesday December 30, 1896
Catharine Egolf Hively died at the home of her son (Solomon Hively) in Thorncreek township, Dec. 10th, 1896. The funeral service was held at the Hively Church, Dec. 12th, 1896, where she was laid to rest beside her husband who died in 1882.
The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. King, of Columbia City, Indiana, from 2nd Timothy, 1st chapter and 2nd verse, to a large audience of bereft relatives and sympathizing friends.
Rev. King is a logical reasoner and deeply impressed his audience with the fact that life is a solmen [sic] reality that cannot be conjured out of its responsibilities – of its duties and preparation for death. Catharine Egolf Hively was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Oct. 28, 1804 and at the date of her death, Dec. 10th, 1896 she had reached the ripe old age of 92 years, 1 month, 12 days.
She moved with her parents from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and was married to Daniel Hively on the 16th day of Dec. 1824. In 1837, they together with the families of Adam and Henry Egolf, Peter Shriner, Jacob Sheerer and Jacob Hively moved from Ohio to this county and located on the farm now owned by her son Solomon Hively where she lived continuously till her death. She was a resident of Whitley County nearly sixty years, and was the only survivor of those who came with her in 1837.
She was the mother of 13 children, 5 girls and 8 boys; 11 still survive; had 56 grand children of which 40 survive; 83 great grand children, of which 67 survive and 5 great great grand children. The oldest child aged 71 years; the oldest grand child aged 51 years; the oldest great grand child aged 16 years; the oldest great great grandchild aged 4 years.
Mother Hively passed through all the hardships of pioneer life. She was possessed of the noble attributes of true womanhood. Generous to a fault, every ready to administer to the poor, kind and true, always had a word of encouragement to the sick and destitute, administering their wants, pointing far up the hights [sic], leaving all superstition far below.
Mother Hively united with the German Lutheran Church when 16 years of age and remained a faithful member till her death.
Farewell! A word that must be and hath been – a sound that makes us linger – yet, farewell.

Notes for ELIZABETH BELLE ENGLE:
Hively, Belle (Engle)
(Died 1911)
The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Belle Hively, of Thorncreek township, was sad news to the surviving children and numerous friends and acquaintances of that estimable woman. Since the death of her husband twenty-one years ago, she made her home on the farm and devoted herself to the rearing of the younger children and to the performance of such other dutiesas fell to her lot. She had been troubled for some time past with an affection of the heart, and about 9:20 Saturday morning was seized with a severe Neuralgic attack. Her daughter called the King family, who lived nearby to come to her assistance and they responded at once, but Mrs. Hively only lived a few minutes after Mrs. King reached the house, and it was perhaps more than thirty minutes from the time of her attack came upon her until she had passe away.
Dr. O.V. Schuman, of this city was called, but there was nothing he could do, as death had intervened some time before his arrival. The news of the death spread rapidly and many expressions of regret were heard over the passing of a noble woman and her children.
Mrs Hively fell down the cellarway at her home a little over a year agoand has never been very ill since that time. She had been having pains in her chest for several months off and on, and on Friday had several bad attacks but recovered from them. During the night she suffered considerably, but got up and bathed herself and then felt better. The attack saturday morning was the most severe she had experienced. Her daughter, Mrs. Hill assisted her to the couch and she remained there until the end. She was Conconscious all the time, and explained to those about her where the pains were. She asked to have her dress changed, and was raised to a sitting posture that this might be done. A moment later she asked to be laid down and only gasped a few times afterwards.
Mrs. Hively was the daughter of David Engle and was 69 years of age on the 15th of last May. She married Samuel Hively in her girlhood and to them a large family of children was born, seven boys and two girls surviving. The boys are: Wm. R., Lowell, Austin, Russell, and Ben of Thorncreek township, Edward of Alibion, and Arl of Wisconsin. The girls are Ella Appleton, of Thorncreek and Lizzie Hill who made her home with her mother. Linville Engle, of this city is the only surviving member of her family.
Her husbaand died twenty-one years ago last april, leaving the care of the children to the mother. In the discharge of this great responsibility she acquitted herself nobly, the sons and daughters being a credit to the communities in which they live. She was a member of the Christian church and was esteemed and respected by a large circle offriends and acquaintances.

SURVIVED WIFE JUST ONE YEAR
Aaron Hyre, one of the pioneers of Whitley Co., died at his home north of Laud, in Washington Township, at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning after an illness of less than two weeks' duration, the direct cause of his death being paralysis. On the 17th of July he sustained a slight stroke of paralysis and although his mind was somewhat clouded, he was able to get around to some extent. It was believed that the trouble could be removed and that Mr. Hyre would regain his health. However, matters took a turn for the worse and the patient went into a steady decline. A second stroke came last Saturday, and from that time forth no hope of his recovery was entertained by the attending physician. He was unconcious and remained in that condidtion until the end came.
The deceased was a son of Wesley Hyre, on the the pioneers of Thorncreek Township. He was born in Montgomery Co., Ohio and moved to this county with his parents in 1849, when he was 13 years old. He grew to manhood in Thorncreek and was united in marriage to Catherine Egolf, also of Thorncreek on July 15 1853. They were the parents of thirteen children, ten of them preceding their parents in death. In 1882 he moved to Jefferson Township upon the farm on which his son, Alonzo resides, but in the fall of 1907 he moved to Washington Township, on his farm south of Laud, where he died at the age of 78 years and 4 days.
His wife preceded him in death just one year. He is survived by one son, Alonzo of Jefferson Township and Arminda, who made her home with her father. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Martha Humbarger of Thorncreek, and two brothers, Leonard of this city and Wesley of Stroh, Indiana. He also leaved five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Mr Hyre was very successful in acquiring property and at the time of his death was the owner of 300 acres or more of land in this Co., and was also possessed of a large amount of personal property. His estate is estimated to be worth $35,000 or $40,000. He resided on the farm all his life, but he had a storng dreaming toward mechanical contrivances. He was something of an inventor also and had a number of devices patented, but never went any further with them, Anything in the machinery line had a fascination for him, and only a few days before his last sickness set in he spent a half-hour in his office looking at the linotype in operation. The operator gave him a slug containing his name which seem to please him greatly. \par \par Mr. Hyre was not a man who made much display but went quietly about his business, treating all with whom he came in contact in a civil and genteel manner. In all his dealings he was on the square and was as good as his word. He was a republican in politics but never aspired to any offical position. He was a good and kind father and a friend to all whom he knew.
The funeral will Occupation Friday fore-noon, the procession leaving the residence at 10 o'clock for Evergreen Church, where services will be held.

The sudden death of Mrs. Matilda Torbet, the aged mother of oliver S. Torbet, the hardware merchant. Saturday, afternoon at 4 o'clock was a great shock to him as well as to her friends. She resided next door to her son on North Chauncey street, and was about the house as usual during the day. During the afternoon she went over to the old home property on North Main street. There was a board on the back porch that did not suit her exactly and she was replacing it at the time the attack came upon her. Charles Fisher and wife reside in the property and the latter returned home just as Jim Walker arrived at the house with some groceries. She told the boy to take them to the rear door and she would go through the house and unlock the door. Before she had unlocked the front door the boy came running back and told her there was a woman lying back there. Mrs. Fisher stepped to the rear and at once identified the woman as Mrs. Torbet. She immediately informed Mrs. O. S. Torbet who in turn called her husband by phone. He called Dr. Schuman and the latter made a careful examination of the remains finding life extinct. Dr. Schuman had been treating her and knew exactly the cause of her death, as she had been subject to heart failure for some time past.
Matilda (Egolf) Torbet was born in Fairfield County Ohio, November 21st, 1829 and was a daughter of Joseph and Margaret Egolf. She came with her parents to Thorncreek Township, Whitley county, in 1835, and died September 27th, 1913, at the age of 83 years 10 months and 6 days. She was united in marriage to Nelson D. Torbet, September 22, 1853, and to them five children were born, two of whom survive, O. S. Torbet of tis city, and Mrs. Samuel J. Halauer, of Auburn; a step-daughter, Mrs. Mary Smitley, of Tacoma Washington, and one brother, Jeremiah Egolf, of North Main Street, this city also survives.

She resided for a few years in Kansas where they moved shortly after the civil war, and also Michigan City while her husband was a guard at the prison north.

After the second operation she was confined to her bed for twenty weeks and it was feared that she could not recover but she was young in years and the desire to live was strong. After twenty weeks her condition seemed to improve and she would be able to be up for a few days after which she would suffer a relapse and be unable to be about for some time. She gradually grew weaker and Sunday she became so weak that all hope was given up and she rapidly sank until Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock when she passed away and her spirit took flight to its maker.

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.

Wednesday December 30, 1896
Catharine Egolf Hively died at the home of her son (Solomon Hively) in Thorncreek township, Dec. 10th, 1896. The funeral service was held at the Hively Church, Dec. 12th, 1896, where she was laid to rest beside her husband who died in 1882.
The funeral sermon was delivered by Rev. King, of Columbia City, Indiana, from 2nd Timothy, 1st chapter and 2nd verse, to a large audience of bereft relatives and sympathizing friends.
Rev. King is a logical reasoner and deeply impressed his audience with the fact that life is a solmen [sic] reality that cannot be conjured out of its responsibilities – of its duties and preparation for death. Catharine Egolf Hively was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Oct. 28, 1804 and at the date of her death, Dec. 10th, 1896 she had reached the ripe old age of 92 years, 1 month, 12 days.
She moved with her parents from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and was married to Daniel Hively on the 16th day of Dec. 1824. In 1837, they together with the families of Adam and Henry Egolf, Peter Shriner, Jacob Sheerer and Jacob Hively moved from Ohio to this county and located on the farm now owned by her son Solomon Hively where she lived continuously till her death. She was a resident of Whitley County nearly sixty years, and was the only survivor of those who came with her in 1837.
She was the mother of 13 children, 5 girls and 8 boys; 11 still survive; had 56 grand children of which 40 survive; 83 great grand children, of which 67 survive and 5 great great grand children. The oldest child aged 71 years; the oldest grand child aged 51 years; the oldest great grand child aged 16 years; the oldest great great grandchild aged 4 years.
Mother Hively passed through all the hardships of pioneer life. She was possessed of the noble attributes of true womanhood. Generous to a fault, every ready to administer to the poor, kind and true, always had a word of encouragement to the sick and destitute, administering their wants, pointing far up the hights [sic], leaving all superstition far below.
Mother Hively united with the German Lutheran Church when 16 years of age and remained a faithful member till her death.
Farewell! A word that must be and hath been – a sound that makes us linger – yet, farewell.

Notes for ELIZABETH BELLE ENGLE:
Hively, Belle (Engle)
(Died 1911)
The sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Belle Hively, of Thorncreek township, was sad news to the surviving children and numerous friends and acquaintances of that estimable woman. Since the death of her husband twenty-one years ago, she made her home on the farm and devoted herself to the rearing of the younger children and to the performance of such other dutiesas fell to her lot. She had been troubled for some time past with an affection of the heart, and about 9:20 Saturday morning was seized with a severe Neuralgic attack. Her daughter called the King family, who lived nearby to come to her assistance and they responded at once, but Mrs. Hively only lived a few minutes after Mrs. King reached the house, and it was perhaps more than thirty minutes from the time of her attack came upon her until she had passe away.
Dr. O.V. Schuman, of this city was called, but there was nothing he could do, as death had intervened some time before his arrival. The news of the death spread rapidly and many expressions of regret were heard over the passing of a noble woman and her children.
Mrs Hively fell down the cellarway at her home a little over a year agoand has never been very ill since that time. She had been having pains in her chest for several months off and on, and on Friday had several bad attacks but recovered from them. During the night she suffered considerably, but got up and bathed herself and then felt better. The attack saturday morning was the most severe she had experienced. Her daughter, Mrs. Hill assisted her to the couch and she remained there until the end. She was Conconscious all the time, and explained to those about her where the pains were. She asked to have her dress changed, and was raised to a sitting posture that this might be done. A moment later she asked to be laid down and only gasped a few times afterwards.
Mrs. Hively was the daughter of David Engle and was 69 years of age on the 15th of last May. She married Samuel Hively in her girlhood and to them a large family of children was born, seven boys and two girls surviving. The boys are: Wm. R., Lowell, Austin, Russell, and Ben of Thorncreek township, Edward of Alibion, and Arl of Wisconsin. The girls are Ella Appleton, of Thorncreek and Lizzie Hill who made her home with her mother. Linville Engle, of this city is the only surviving member of her family.
Her husbaand died twenty-one years ago last april, leaving the care of the children to the mother. In the discharge of this great responsibility she acquitted herself nobly, the sons and daughters being a credit to the communities in which they live. She was a member of the Christian church and was esteemed and respected by a large circle offriends and acquaintances.

SURVIVED WIFE JUST ONE YEAR
Aaron Hyre, one of the pioneers of Whitley Co., died at his home north of Laud, in Washington Township, at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning after an illness of less than two weeks' duration, the direct cause of his death being paralysis. On the 17th of July he sustained a slight stroke of paralysis and although his mind was somewhat clouded, he was able to get around to some extent. It was believed that the trouble could be removed and that Mr. Hyre would regain his health. However, matters took a turn for the worse and the patient went into a steady decline. A second stroke came last Saturday, and from that time forth no hope of his recovery was entertained by the attending physician. He was unconcious and remained in that condidtion until the end came.
The deceased was a son of Wesley Hyre, on the the pioneers of Thorncreek Township. He was born in Montgomery Co., Ohio and moved to this county with his parents in 1849, when he was 13 years old. He grew to manhood in Thorncreek and was united in marriage to Catherine Egolf, also of Thorncreek on July 15 1853. They were the parents of thirteen children, ten of them preceding their parents in death. In 1882 he moved to Jefferson Township upon the farm on which his son, Alonzo resides, but in the fall of 1907 he moved to Washington Township, on his farm south of Laud, where he died at the age of 78 years and 4 days.
His wife preceded him in death just one year. He is survived by one son, Alonzo of Jefferson Township and Arminda, who made her home with her father. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Martha Humbarger of Thorncreek, and two brothers, Leonard of this city and Wesley of Stroh, Indiana. He also leaved five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Mr Hyre was very successful in acquiring property and at the time of his death was the owner of 300 acres or more of land in this Co., and was also possessed of a large amount of personal property. His estate is estimated to be worth $35,000 or $40,000. He resided on the farm all his life, but he had a storng dreaming toward mechanical contrivances. He was something of an inventor also and had a number of devices patented, but never went any further with them, Anything in the machinery line had a fascination for him, and only a few days before his last sickness set in he spent a half-hour in his office looking at the linotype in operation. The operator gave him a slug containing his name which seem to please him greatly. \par \par Mr. Hyre was not a man who made much display but went quietly about his business, treating all with whom he came in contact in a civil and genteel manner. In all his dealings he was on the square and was as good as his word. He was a republican in politics but never aspired to any offical position. He was a good and kind father and a friend to all whom he knew.
The funeral will Occupation Friday fore-noon, the procession leaving the residence at 10 o'clock for Evergreen Church, where services will be held.

Notes for MATILDA EGOLF:
The sudden death of Mrs. Matilda Torbet, the aged mother of oliver S. Torbet, the hardware merchant. Saturday, afternoon at 4 o'clock was a great shock to him as well as to her friends. She resided next door to her son on North Chauncey street, and was about the house as usual during the day. During the afternoon she went over to the old home property on North Main street. There was a board on the back porch that did not suit her exactly and she was replacing it at the time the attack came upon her. Charles Fisher and wife reside in the property and the latter returned home just as Jim Walker arrived at the house with some groceries. She told the boy to take them to the rear door and she would go through the house and unlock the door. Before she had unlocked the front door the boy came running back and told her there was a woman lying back there. Mrs. Fisher stepped to the rear and at once identified the woman as Mrs. Torbet. She immediately informed Mrs. O. S. Torbet who in turn called her husband by phone. He called Dr. Schuman and the latter made a careful examination of the remains finding life extinct. Dr. Schuman had been treating her and knew exactly the cause of her death, as she had been subject to heart failure for some time past.
Matilda (Egolf) Torbet was born in Fairfield County Ohio, November 21st, 1829 and was a daughter of Joseph and Margaret Egolf. She came with her parents to Thorncreek Township, Whitley county, in 1835, and died September 27th, 1913, at the age of 83 years 10 months and 6 days. She was united in marriage to Nelson D. Torbet, September 22, 1853, and to them five children were born, two of whom survive, O. S. Torbet of tis city, and Mrs. Samuel J. Halauer, of Auburn; a step-daughter, Mrs. Mary Smitley, of Tacoma Washington, and one brother, Jeremiah Egolf, of North Main Street, this city also survives.

After twenty weeks her condition seemed to improve and she would be able to be up for a few days after which she would suffer a relapse and be unable to be about for some time. She gradually grew weaker and Sunday she became so weak that all hope was given up and she rapidly sank until Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock when she passed away and her spirit took flight to its maker.

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.
