PHILLIP ENZ, farmer; P. O. Morrow; is a native of Germany, born October 15th, 1822. He was schooled in the mother country and was a farmer until 18 years of age. He, like all German citizens, was compelled to enter the service of his country and was assigned to duty under General Zritz. He was in the army for some time, and falling sick was sent to the hospital. Not liking the service, he sought an opportunity and escaped to France. From thence he went to Africa, joining the 5th Infantry; he was under the French General Canrobert for two years. In 1850 he came to America, landing at New York and finally settled here in 1851. He was married Aug. 2, 1852, to Miss L. Miller, a native of Germany, born Jan. 2, 1826. They have eight children-Matthew, Louisa, Jacob, Margaret, Anna, Henry, Philip and Linnie. Mr. Enz is a public spirited man and is noted for his integrity.
