Pat Englehart video from two decades ago

BJ newsroom retiree Tom Moore provided a copy of the video he made two decades ago while visiting the late State Desk Editor Pat Englehart at his Ocala, Florida home. Pat coordinated the Beacon’s coverage of the 1970 killing of four Kent State students and the wounding of nine others by the Ohio National Guard. That brought the Beacon a Pulitzer Prize.

Pat’s widow, Marge, continued to live in their Ocala, Florida home for seven years after Pat died Oct. 29, 1995. Marge moved into the 200-acre Elks National Home in Bedford, Virginia in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on U.S. 460 between Roanoke and Lynchburg.

Pat began his career at his hometown paper, the Zanesville Signal, in 1947. After his graduation from Northwestern University School of Journalism in 1952 he worked in Fairmont, West Virginia, and Evansville, Indiana, before joining the BJ wire desk in 1954 under future executive editor and publisher Ben Maidenburg.

Patrick Theodore Englehart was born August 25, 1925 and grew up in Zanesville. He lived in Mogadore for decades where he was Mogadore Lions Club president and Village Charter Commission chairman.

Pat and Marge, a former teacher, had four children -- Peter, Phillip, Mary Pat and Andrew.

Pat was a Navy veteran of World War II. His ashes are in the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, which is about 20 miles south of Ocala.
