  A GOOD CITIZEN GOES IN ANSWER TO CALL
  Nathan J Enochs dies at his home with hemorrhage of brain after a brief
  illness, saturday.
  WAS A USEFUL CITIZEN TO ALL
  A useful life was suddenly terminated Saturday evening at 8:30 when
  Nathan J Enochs died at his home 5 miles east of Huntingdon of hemorrha ge
  of the brain.
  The deceased was 49 years 4 months and 1 day of age.  At th e age of
  10 he joined the ME Church, South, at Mt Zion and was a consistent m ember
  for nearly forty years, always taking an active part in the welfard of
  the church.
  The deceased was married to miss Fannie Williams, and three
  ch ildren, Onus, Kelly, and Mis Mary Enochs, were the fruits of the union,
  who w ith the wife survive the deceased.
  The interment was at Humbles graveyard, Mon day.  The funeral was
  largely attended.  Citizens from all parts of the count y were in
  attendance.  The Buena Vista school attended in a body.
  The fuenra l services were conducted by Rev TN Wilkes, pastor of the
  church at Mt Zion, assisted by Rev AN Goforth, pastor of the church at
  Huntingdon.  After "Rock of Ages" (a favorite song of the deceased) and
  other songs were sung, the pre achers made short talks of the life and
  death of the deceased.  After the ser vices, those who had come to pay
  their respects were permitted to view all mo rtality of NJ Enochs, and the
  casket covered with flowers, was borne to the c hurchyard and interred.
  Huntindon was well represented at the funeral.  The Fa rmers State
  Bank, of which the deceased was one of the directors, was closed during
  the services, and the Bank of Huntingdon joined in paying respect by
  closing its bank doors for the same period.
  Mr Enochs had many friends and wa s highly esteemed by our entire
  citizenship.  He was amember of the quarterly court for 18 years, and was
  also a member of the County board of Education f or serveral years.  For a
  number of years he was a teacher in the Buena Vista High School.  He
  loved boys and girls and took an interest in their welfare.
  By his daily life, he wrote his "In Memoriam".  He was a clean,
  upright Chr istian gentleman, an upstanding man, a consistent church
  member -- all, that goes to make up a good citizen.
  It matters not whether his death endowed his f amily with lands and
  gold, he left them a goodly heritage by the story of his life.
