ENLOE- Near Bishop, Cal., on May 2, 1897 Hugh S. Enloe, aged 80 years, 1 month, 22 days. OBIT: THE INYO REGISTER May 6, 1897 pg 3. 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, 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 hon[?] 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 poet's 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. E! nloe 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, now of Oakland, are their daughters and sons. ____ THE INYO REGISTER Bishop, Inyo County, California Sept 16, 1915 Pg 5 A LONG LIFE ENDED- Mrs. Enloe Passes Away, aged Nearly Nintety-One Years. A long and useful life termintated 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 Missouri, whither her parents had emigrated from east Tennesee 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. Buckman, 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 remainded 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 her fault and charitable thought were dominant charateristics with her. The funeral occurs at 2:30 this afternoon, from the Presbyterian church. Interment will be in the Pioneer cemetery. *** Hugh Simpson Enloe s/o James & Nancy (Simpson) Enloe married Emily Moss Murray, d/o Thomas Clinton Murray.
