cont'd: Eugene Alson Thurlo 1923 - 1961. Above his desk Gene Thurlo displayed a large photograph of his grandfather at the halter of a Missouri mule. The picture served as an ironic contrast to the agricultural innovations and methods he discussed with farmers during 4 years as Linn County's extension agent. Beyond this, however, the juxtaposition of the man and the animal must have had a personal significance for Thurlo. Something about this mule and its qualities seems analogous to the combination of pluck and perversity that brought Thurlo's family to Sullivan Co, MO in 1836 and has kept it there ever since... a young extension agent in Harrison and Putnam Counties... His was a family deeply rooted in the soil it knew as home... excited of the timber where he found Indian relics as a boy... His interest in young people, shown in his work with 4-H Clubs and students and in his rold as a Sunday School teacher, reflected his concern for the future of the community and provided him with an optimist outlook for that future... witnessed as young people the Depression and the exodus from the farms, the development and use of the atomic bomb and war, the beginning of rapid advances in technology, and other profound changes in the quality and pace of American life. The transition has been a difficult one, and the present has been filled with anxiety for these people. Gene Thurlo, who attempted to bring values from the past into bearing upon knowledge and skills of the future... inner tension which caused him to smoke 3 packs of unfiltered Camels a day and die of a heart attack in 1961 at the age of 38..."
