                      the Death of Mr. Ova Ellis Boggs


        Mr. Ova Ellis Boggs, Area Agent in Rural Development,was fatally
   injured in an automobile accident in Johnson County, Kentucky on June
   23, 1959. He died one day later at the Paintsville Hospital from mul-
   tiple fractures of legs, arms, concussion and injured kidney.

     At the time of the accident he was riding with Mr. Cla-ude Christian,
County Agricultural Agent of Johnson Cowity, who was also seriously
injured.  Their car was hit by a trailer truck which jackknifed on a curve
in the road during a rain storm.

     Mr. Boggs was born on a mountain farm in Lawrence County, Ken-
tucky. After attending a rural grade school he completed high school
at Blamle, Kentucky. Having to walk a number of miles, he had to leave
home in the morning before daylight and return after dark. After grad-
uating from high school hle enrolled at Morehead State College where he
did such a good job and manifested such interest in agriculture that
Professor Henry Hagan arranged for his transfer to the University of
Kentucky.  He received his B.S. degree in Agriculture in June 1952.
He later did graduate work at both the University of Kentucky and More-
head State College.  While in college he became a member of FarmHouse
and Alpha Zeta Fra-ternit;les.

     Upon graduation from the 'Jniversity of Kentucky Mr. Boggs became
assistant agricultural. agent in Morgan and later Pike County. He became
county agricultural agent Uin Floyd County April 1, 1953 and served there
until transferred to Morehead as Area Extension Agent in Rural Develop-
ment on February 1, 1957.  This job in Rural Development was a new
and difficult assignment covering A 2 counties and involved work with lay
and agency people at countv, area and state levels.  On this job he showed
excellent leadership ability and proved to be a friend and adviser to all
with whom he worked,.

     Mr. Boggs was intensely interested not only in Rural Development but
all phases of extension work.  He was a. member of Ep silon Sigma Phi
professional fraternity and wa.s continually working to improve his own
effectiveness, He ha.d the interest of the whole University in mind and
never lost an opportunity to boost its Drogra.nL

     He was both aggressive and at the same time very patient and under-
standing with the agents and other people with whom he worked. He was
truly loyal. to the University and did much to buoy up the spirit and support
of many others. He never thougYt of the hours involved but merely the
job to be done and during all his ten years with the University he was
helping his brothers and sisters with needed finance to obtain a college
education.

     't can trulv be said that. his life and determination to overcome hard-
ships will be an inspiration to Extension workers and all others who knew
him.

    Therefore, be it resolved that these resolutions be approved by the Execu-
tive Couitilittee  as an expression of its high regard for Mr. Ova Ellis
Boggs and be it further resolved that they be spread upon the minutes
of this meeting and that a. copy be sent his wife and parents.
