BASIC FACTS

Earl Sylvester Wendell was born on 7 September 1901 in Guernsey Co., Ohio.² He and Olive Kirkendall Rodgers were married on 12 May 1925 in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio.² He died on 2 July 1968, at age 66, in Springfield, Clark Co., Ohio.² He was buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Columbus, Franklin Co., Ohio.²

Earl Sylvester Wendell had reference number 3492. He was a District Manager, National Life and Accident Insurance Company, Akron, Ohio.² His Social Security Number was 297-09-7410.² Donald Boyd wrote:

"Grandpa Wendell was extremely reserved and serious 99% of the time. He was born as child #2 in a family of 9 children (who lived), in extreme poverty as tenant farmers in Guernsey County, and later Columbiana County, Ohio. After dropping out of school in the 8th grade, he went to work in the tire factories in Akron. He bought and read Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends And Influence People, and put into practice every bit of that advice. He bought one suit and one pair of nice shoes (all he could afford), and wore those to go out in the evening and weekends and sell life insurance door to door. He worked his way up by sheer force of personality and persistence, through the ranks of National Life & Accident Insurance salesmen, until he was the District Manager for northeast Ohio, from which position he retired around 1958 or 1959. My parents would send me to stay with my grandparents for a couple of weeks in the summer -- once Grandpa bought me an airline ticket to fly from Dayton to Akron, when I was maybe 9 years old. Grandpa Wendell was a big influence on my development as a kid -- it was so sad that we lost him in 1968 when I was only 17. He had smoked all his life, and ended up with chronic debilitating emphysema that eventually suffocated him. He loved fishing and hunting, and spent as much time as possible in these activities, until the last few years of his life.

Stories told to his grandson:

"When my father William Wendell was a boy, their family was terribly poor. Their father would offer the boys a nickel to skip their dinner. Then next morning, if the boy who took a nickel wanted to eat breakfast, he had to pay the nickel back to his father."

"One winter there were lots of rabbits. My father bought some shotgun shells, and sent Butch and I out with the shotgun, to shoot rabbits. He counted out some shells for us, and told us he wanted to see one rabbit for each shell. We were very careful and only took shots that we were sure of. One day, we got a whole washtub full of rabbits. We cleaned them and mother canned the rabbit meat."

"One winter, the snow began to melt in January, in the corn stubble. Then came a cold snap, and the crust of snow froze in the shape it was melted, kind of draped over the rows of corn stubble in humps and valleys. We had a pair of ice skates that we shared, and you could start out on top of a hump, and glide down to a valley, and then glide up to the next hump, and just go all across the cornfield that way." (DLB 2005).

Olive Rodgers (Wendell) Boyd passed away on May 1, 2020 at her home on the farm north of New Carlisle, Ohio at the age of 94. She was born March 9, 1926 at Akron, Ohio, daughter of Earl S. and Olive K. (Rodgers) Wendell. She was raised in Akron, Canton, and Mansfield, Ohio and graduated nursing school at Akron as a Registered Nurse. She met Donald L. Boyd while she was working as the school nurse at Hiram College, and they were married on November 24, 1949 at Akron. After a brief residence at Kingman, Ohio where her husband was a school teacher for a couple of years, they lived primarily in Montgomery and Clark Counties, Ohio where they raised their six children. Olive was a prolific watercolor artist and taught watercolor painting classes for many years at the Hotel Gallery in Tipp City, Ohio, where she had many good friends. Olive was a devoted and loving wife to her husband and a devoted mother to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was keenly interested in the lives of her friends and family, and loved to help anyone who needed a helping hand. Her house was a place where anyone would find a friend, a meal, and a bed for the night. She had many friends in the local neighborhood, across the country, and around the world. She loved to garden and enjoyed a drive though the countryside whenever possible. She was a member of the Honey Creek Presbyterian Church.

Olive was preceded in death by her parents and husband. She is survived by her brother, Earl "Bud" Wendell and wife Janice of Nashville, TN; and by her six children and their spouses, Donald (Susan), Mary (Howard) Dodds, Elizabeth (Jesse) Persinger, David (Becky), James (Pamela), and Margaret "Peggy" (James) Jenkins; and by her grandchildren, Chela, Stephanie, Sasha, David, Lauren, Gabriel, Emily, John, Jarrod, Elizabeth, Aaron, and James; and by nine great-grandchildren and two more on the way. She will be dearly missed by every one of them.

A private memorial service will be held by the family at a later date, on the farm where she lived for the past 56 years.
