Death of Henry C. Enos
Watertown Gazette, 07 06 1911
Henry C. Enos died at Minor Private Hospital, Seattle, Washington, on Sunday, July 2, 1911, and his remains will be brought to this city Friday morning at 6:45 over the C. M. & St. Paul Railroad and taken to the undertaking rooms of Carl F. Nowack in North Fourth Street, from where his funeral will be held at 9:30 o’clock to the Congregational Church. The interment will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.
Deceased was born in Watertown, Wis., April 10, 1849, and was the oldest son of the late J. J. Enos [see cross reference, below] and wife, his father being in early days here one of the most eminent lawyers of the state. After leaving school he was for a time engaged in business in Kansas City, Mo., and in 1874 he was enrolling clerk in the state legislature at Madison.
Shortly after the firm of Woodard & Stone was established in this city he was for many years traveling salesman for the firm and after retiring from that position he traveled for different firms, of late years being traveling salesman for a large Boston confectionery establishment, his territory extending all over the United States.
Since May 31st he was confined in the Minor Private Hospital in Seattle with a sore toe, which terminated in gangrene, the direct cause of death. He received the very best of medical attention and for some time previous to his death had the consolation of having with him two old Watertown boys, George F. Wilder and A. P. Chapman. They attended to his every want, and left nothing undone to comfort him in his last illness.
For several years past he made his home with his uncle, Col. H. M. Enos of Waukesha, where his sister also resides. One sister, Miss Amelia R. Enos of Waukesha, and one brother, D. F. Enos of Boston, survive him.
The news of Mr. Enos’ death was received in Watertown with great sorrow by his extensive acquaintance. Henry was one of the best men that ever lived and one always felt better after meeting him. His cheerful, whole-souled manner of greeting his fellow man had an elevating influence and on meeting him if you chanced to have the blues Henry never failed to drive them away and leave you in a happy frame of mind. Every inch a man, yet mild and affectionate, and never too big to pass by an acquaintance, no matter how lowly, without extending a pleasant greeting.
He frequently visited our city, mainly to call on old friends, and when here all who learned of his presence were anxious to meet him, and if he chanced to get away without all his old friends seeing him, regrets were expressed by any who failed to see him.
His death is sincerely mourned here and many old friends of his throughout the country who are patrons of The Gazette will read this notice with a feeling of deep sorrow and will give expression to words of praise for the departed.
