AGED CITIZEN
PASSES
Lafayette J. Enix, born May
28, 1850. Passed from this life to eternity at his home three miles north of
this city on Trough Camp, Sunday September 12, 1926 at 11:30 P.M., after a
lingering illness of some time with Bright's disease. He had not been in good
health for years and had been for the past few years almost an invalid, but his
energy to be up and going kept him from being in the bed with his disease much
longer than he was.
Before his death he expressed a
desire to get well several times, but said if it was God's will, he was ready to
go when He called. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Julia Gorman of this city, and
Susan Gham at home, and one son, Herbert Enix, who made his home with him. His
last brother before him departed this life just one year and one day ago, and he
was the last one left of the boys of probably one of the best known families of
Carter County. The funeral services were conducted at the home on Tuesday
afternoon by Rev. John Garvin, after which the remains were laid to rest in the
Miller Cemetery, close by.

TAYLOR
ENIX LAID TO REST
Taylor Enix, aged 76 years, died last Saturday
morning at his home a mile and a half east of this city, of uremic poisoning,
after an illness of less than two weeks. He was taken ill on Sunday night, July
30th, and the jaws of this dreaded disease slowly but firmly closed in on his
life until on last Saturday, near the hour of 12 o'clock noon they gripped so
tight that he was bound to bow his head and give up the ghost. God had called
him to his reward and he must go.
Mr. Enix leaves,
besides a wife, two daughters, Zella and Dorothy both at home; two brothers,
Lafayette and Washington, who live near him; two sisters, Mrs. Gorman and Mrs.
Susan Gaynes, who live in the East end of the city. They all remained very close
to him during his illness and death and watched over him faithfully. All that
medical science could do was done to give him relief, but it seemed that it had
come the time when God had seen fit to call him home and he must
go.
A home has been stripped of a precious jewel; a
chair has been made vacant that can never be filed the steps that once prattled
over the floors and through the yard will never be heard again; that familiar
kind and loving voice which has so often been heard from the getting up in the
morning until the retiring at night will not be heard anymore; the folks of
Olive Hill will miss "Uncle Taylor" as he was hailed almost every morning as he
came down our street walks and even the young tots who so often made remarks to
him as he passed will miss him so much, for it was while they played upon the
sidewalks he so often had to stop and pass and repass more or less jokes with
them and they all learned to love him.
So faithfully
did he bear his sufferings and unto the last he held out that he would get well
and still be with his family, seemed as though he wanted to be with them longer
for he loved them so. He was a great home man and a good provider. He always was
for the right and against the wrong. It was easy to place him when a question of
this character was to decide. He was a personal friend of the writer and a man
whom we must say we loved and highly honored and he held a spot in our heart
that will ever remain a fond recollection.
The
funeral services were conducted at the beautiful little cemetery overlooking his
old home and were conducted by Congressman W. J. Fields, his neighbor and a true
friend of his. He read Chapter 28 of St. Matthew, which so beautifully told of
where Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and the angels appeared and
rolled the stone away and showed her that Christ had risen from the dead, and
told of how Mr. Enix in the morning of the great resurrection would rise again
and come up to meet his loved ones in the air. Many beautiful things he said
during his explanation of the life hereafter, and the talk was a soothing balm
placed on the minds of the family and friends of the departed one. He said, "to
know Taylor Enix was to love him," which is as true as can be
said.
The concourse of people that thronged to the
funeral was proof enough that he was loved by everybody. Seldom do you see as
large a crowd of people attend a funeral as did this one. The singing was
beautiful.

WASH ENIX
PASSES AWAY
On last Friday morning just after the
bright and glorious morning sun had raised herself enough to cast her sunlight
from hill to hill and from valley to valley and the world could realize just how
beautiful the rays of the sun were, the light of a soul crept out to meet its
maker, in that George Washington Enix was called by Him to come up higher and be
with Him who had gone to prepare a place for him that "where He was there he
also could be." Wash was one of the oldest men of this county, being at the time
of his death 85 years, seven months and 27 days old, and quite a secret rests
with his life, as he was a man that hardly knew what a sick day meant, always in
the best of health and met and parted with everyone with nothing but a jolly
thought.
His illness struck him some few months ago,
and from the first it seemed that the deepness of it was such that medical aid
could never reach it, and although he was a man of fine nerve, he didn't seem
that he would ever recover, and stood with all his attention turned to the one
who doeth all things well, and held his faith in Him from the time he took ill
until his death. For years he had lived a Christian life, having been a member
of the Christian Church for years. He left a bright testimony that all was well
and that he wanted his friends to prepare, those of them who had not already
done so, to meet him on the other side of the river.
Mr. Enix was born in what is now commonly known as old Olive Hill and moved to
the place where he lived and died at the mouth of Trough Camp on Tygarts Creek,
a few miles north of this city, always casting his vote at the local voting
place for years and years and at no time failing to make his appearance on
election day to cast his vote for the man of his choice, which always appeared
on the side of the Log Cabin, as his political opinion was as strong that way as
his religious belief, was that Jesus died for
sinners.

He leaves a brother, Lafe, at home; two
sisters, Mr. Julia Gorman of this city and Mrs. Susie Gaynes, who until recently
made her home in Cincinnati, besides a number of relatives and a host of
friends. Saturday afternoon the funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. H.
Setzer, pastor of the local Baptist Church, after which the remains were laid to
rest in the family cemetery near the home of the late Taylor Enix, a brother of
his who had gone on only a few years before and was ready to meet him on the
other shore.
