Mel was born the son of Earl Leonard and Melva Endicott and grew up near Savonburg, Kansas. He graduated from Fort Hill High School in 1947, and from Fort Scott Junior College in 1948 and from Kansas State University in 1955 as a civil engineer.
He then served in the U.S. Army, the U.S. National Guard, and the U.S. Air Force from which he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. He worked as a civil engineer for the Missouri Highway Department and the Texas Highway Department. He enjoyed flying his Paper Apache, collecting classic cars, and researching genealogy.
In 2007, he wrote a long article “in order to preserve information I have acquired about my great-great-grandfather, Samuel Endicott, and his wife, Sarah, and to encourage others to pursue additional information on the subject.”
Mel was able to trace his lineage to Governor John Endicott as follows:

Mel was able to trace his lineage to Governor John Endicott as follows:
- Gov. John Endicott
- Zerubbable, born 1635
- Joseph, 1672
- Joseph, born 1711
- Joseph, born 1738
- Samuel Endicott, Great-great-grandfather, born in 1768. Married to Sarah Endicott. Tax records and land deeds show him in Wilkes County, North Carolina. There is also a record of a Samuel Indicut, thought to be the same person, filing a grantor deed in Wilkes County on July 10, 1788.
- Great-grandfather, Gabriel Jones Endicott, born in 1800 to Samuel and Sarah Endicott and lived in Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas territory. He was also married three times.
- Grandfather, Samuel Jones Endicott was born 1824 in Virginia but like his father, resided in Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas during his lifetime. He was also married three times.
- Father, Earl Leonard Endicott, born 1895.
- Mel, born 1929
In doing this research, Mel turned up an shocking fact: Samuel Endicott, born in 1768 was murdered on Long Ridge in Russell County, Kentucky, on December 2, 1817 and one Sylvanus Brewer was charged with the crime, and furthermore Samuel’s wife, Sarah, was charged as an accessory on April 29,1818. But Mel gives no outcome of the charges and an Internet search reveals nothing more
