The masons of the city will have charge of the services, after which the body will be removed to the family burying ground near Russellville for interment. Captain Enloe was 79 years of age at the time of his death. He served in a company organized here for the protection of the capitol during the civil war. He was elected Captain of the troops and he served with distinction. Following the war he was elected county school commissioner. Later he went into the lumber business at Olean which he followed for a number of years. He removed to Versailles and about eight years ago he retired and has since resided in this city. For the past year he has been in St. Mary's hospital and his death was not unexpected. Besides his two sons here he leaves a daughter, Mrs. Rose St. John of this city; Dr. J. L. Enloe of Kansas City, Dr. F. H. Enloe of Eldon, E. E. Enloe of Kirksville, sons and two other daughters, Mrs. G. Guenther of Collinsville, Oklahoma, and Mrs. J. M. Townley of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
