The End of a Peaceful Life
Hugh Simpson Enloe died at his home near Bishop last Sunday, after a brief
illness, at the age of 80 years, 1 month and 22 days. The funeral occured
Monday from the Methodist Church. Fortunate and well ordered indeed, has
been the life which closes as did his. No enmities survive him. His
mourning relatives find many friends whose privilege is to speak kindly of
him. He was an atheist of the most pronounced type until his age had
already begun to silver his head, but some twenty years ago his belief
changed. Conscious to the last, he passed away in the firm trust that he
would waken in eternal flay. His religion was of the kind which is
respected and which honor its possessor, the kind which is daily a living
example of the precepts taught in it. His life and the peaceful surrender
of its forces at last truly exemplify the poets injunction, for he so
lived that when his summons came, he wrapped the drapery of his couch
about him and lay down to pleasant dreams. Mr. Enloe was near relative of
Congressman Enloe of Tennessee, and was a man well informed and of
retentive mind. His wife, who has been beside him for fifty-four years,
survives him. Mrs. Brierly, Mrs. Bucknam and James Enloe, of Bishop, and
Enoch Enloe of Oakland are their daughters and sons.
