Everett Cattell was a recorded Friends minister, a graduate of Marion College, and had a Master of Arts degree from Ohio State. For 21 years he served as a mission¬ary in India with the Friends Foreign Missionary Society, holding various positions in these years: executive secretary to the Evangelical Fellowship of India, the first chairman of the Board of Governors of the Union Biblical Seminary in Yavatmal, India, a co-opted member of the Executive Committee of the National Christian Coun¬cil of India, and a frequent pastor/preacher at Kellogg Memorial Church in Landour.
Later Everett served three years as gen¬eral superintendent of Ohio Yearly Meeting (now EFC- ER), five years as the president of World -Evangelical Fellowship, and 12 years (1960-72) as president of Malone Col¬lege. He played a very active and formative role in the Association of Evangelical Friends, Evangelical Friends Alliance, Evangelical Friends Mission, and Friends World Committee for Consultation.
He was recognized as a statesman in Friends and wider Christian circles. He had also received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, and the honorary Doctor of Literature from George Fox College in Newberg, Oregon.
Everett accomplished two major objectives of his retirement years, completing a book, The Nature of Christian Mission, and another on the Christian world view that will soon be published. He also authored The Spirit of Holiness in 1963.
The life of Everett L. Cattell had an .amazing wholeness and balance. His was a life filled, led, and used by the Spirit of God. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." (Psalm 37:23) He was to many a great hero of the Christian faith. Those who observed his life, received his counsel, listened to his preaching and his teaching will remember the characteristics of his life that came through were born of the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of holiness, the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of counsel, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of mercy, and the Spirit of uprightness- these qualities were exemplified in the life of Everett Cattell.
Everett was strong in his intellect. He believed that Christians should serve the Lord our God with our minds as well as with our hearts and spirits. There was little room in his own life for shabby thinking. And somehow he inspired those who heard him and knew him to have a similar characteristic concern for truth.
Everett was a man of integrity. He believed in uprightness, in wholeness, in balance in our lives. He had a special kind of ability to integrate his life and to encourage others to do the same. He had a concern for the integration of faith and learning, for the integration of the devotional life and the life of service, and for the integration of the private and the public life.
He was a man of wisdom and insight. Everett had a great understanding of the overall picture in various situations. He had a good grasp of things. That is what made him such a wonderful counselor.
Everett was selfless in his interests. He carried great concern for people everywhere- in his family, in his church, in his community, in the college, in the yearly meeting, in outreach ministries, and far beyond the outreach ministries of his own yearly meeting to those of the Christian church around the world. He was very concerned for those who were hungry, naked, thirsty, in prison, or had other needs. Everett Cattell was not a "bumper-sticker" kind of person, but he had one bumper sticker on his car that said a great deal about this quality in his life: "Live simply that others may simply live."
Everett had a rich devotional life and a rich prayer life. He used a personal prayer guide. In it are prayers for each day and prayers for the week.

He is survived by his wife Catherine; two daughters, Barbara Brantingham and Mary Boots; four grand-children; and two sisters, Virginia Ball and Burdette Huffman.
