A LONG LIFE ENDED-
Mrs. Enloe Passes Away, Nearly 91 Years.
A long and useful life terminated yesterday morning in the death of Mrs.
Emily Enloe, at the ripe age of nearly 91 years. Emily Moss Murray was
born October 8, 1824 in Cole County, MO., where her parents had emigrated
from east Tennessee in 1818. Part of her youthful years were spent in
southern Illinois. She was married July 22, 1843 to Hugh S. Enloe. Six
children were born to them, of whom four are still living and were with
her in her last hours. They are Mrs. S.M. Bucknam, Mrs. R.E. Brierly,
Enoch Enloe, and James Enloe of Bishop. She came to California from
Missouri in 1853 by ox team, the trip taking five months and five days.
Settling in the vicinity of Visalia, she remained there until 1876, when
she came to Bishop, where she has since lived. Until the final call came,
her health was perfect. Saturday morning she did not feel like getting out
of bed, and the slowing mechanism of life passed smoothly to its eternal
pause at 6:30 yesterday morning. Mrs. Enloe was of retiring nature, but
those who knew her best loved her dearly. Generosity amounting to a fault
and charitable thought were dominant characteristics with her. The funeral
occurs at 2:30 this afternoon, from the Presbyterian Church. Interment
will be in the Pioneer Cemetery.
