CHARLES H. EHLEY - WELL KNOWN CITIZEN, SUFFERS STROKE. The community was greatly shocked when on last Friday afternoon, it was announced that Charles H. Ehley had suffered a stroke, and was found lifeless in the roadway as his team of horses were opposite the gates of the Sugar Company's yard. He had a load of sawdust and was on his way home when the fatality came, evidently he must have been rendered helpless while on the seat of the wagon, and the team was headed towards the Depot on East Water ST. He loaded the sawdust himself and may have been over exerted. His little grandson was on the wagon with him, and barely escaped serious injury when the team began to run away. Henry Umhoefer was the first to reach the prostrate form and with the help of others took him to the scale house where he expired before medical aid could help him.

Deceased was 55 years 5 months and 3 days old. He was raised in the town of Mequon, Ozaukee County, and has been a resident of Menomonee several years, during which time he served the town as Supervisor.

CAPT. ELIHU ENOS

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ENOS
IT OCCURRED ON SUNDAY AFTER A LONG ILLNESS.

The Old Republican Leader Gone to Rest.
Sketch of His Life and His Work.

Another pioneer of Waukesha has gone to his long rest. The ranks of the sturdy old men who gave form and character to the community are again depleted. In the death of Capt. Elihu Enos, which occurred on Sunday last at 10:30 a. m. at the Sanitarium, the state has lost a good citizen and this town an intelligent, enterprising friend. The funeral occurred yesterday and was under the direction of the Masonic fraternity.

His cause of death as ascertained in a post mortem examination was chronic mtritis (sic). As most of the friends of the deceased are aware he has long been an invalid and during two years past he has appeared several times to be sick unto death, though each time, until the last attack, he rallied sufficiently to get about. Yet his gradual decline was observed with sadness, and now that death has i done its work those who esteemed and loved him sorrowfully bow to the Divine will.

Capt. Enos was a native of Fulton county. N. Y., being born Jan. 9, 1824 and a graduate of the Normal School at Albany. He finished his work there in 1847; full of youthful hope he at once turned his steps to the new and growing west, and before the year had departed he made his way to Milwaukee with the purpose of establishing a school.  Soon, however, he was turned from this purpose and in company with Prof. Sterling, later of the Whitewater Normal School, came to this town and organized the Classical Normal School of Waukesha, which he took the management of during the first year.  At the close of that period in 1848, he was appointed postmaster here and continued as such for four years.  In 1853 he moved to his farm in the town of Pewaukee, returning here in 1873, but during the period to the commencement of the civil war followed the bent of his mind which naturally led him into educational fields; at the same time he took a deep interest in the Republican party and became a local leader of prominence, and after the war gained a state wide reputation as an astute party manager.  He was frequently called into the councils of the Republican state committee and served eight years as a member of the national committee.

In 1854 he was elected town superintendent of schools, and held the position of schools, and held the position for three years.  He always took a deep interest in educational questions and shaped in a measure legislative action with regard to public schools. In 1861, under the then newly adopted system, he was chosen county school superintendent. He never finished the term, however, as in August, 1862, on a Sunday when a great war meeting was held in Waukesha, he enrolled his name as a soldier and with his well-known zeal began raising a company for the Twenty-eighth regiment.  He was elected captain of the Company G, as soon as it was organized.  With a portion of his company he left for the South in Jan. 1862.  He was on detached duty as quartermaster of brigade and afterward as division quartermaster, in which position he served until discharged because of physical disability, leaving the service in January, 1864.

After reaching home he was elected as a supervisor in Pewaukee and in 1872 was again appointed postmaster here and served 14 years.  The last active political labors of Capt. Enos were performed four years ago when he entered act[cut off] into the campaign in the [cut off]...He aided [cut off] of Matt Carpen[cut off] securing assem[cut off] him.  [large section cut off]

on Capt. Enos held was inspector of the Union School district, in the affairs of which he took great pride, giving much attention to them, not withstanding his failing health.  Capt. Enos had always taken a keen interest in dairy farming and had collected one of the finest herd of Jersey cattle in Wisconsin.  His death takes away one who has always held the confidence and esteem of his acquaintances, and his place in the hearts of Waukesha county people cannot be filled. He will be greatly missed from the circles in which he was most identified.  

Capt. Enos  was married in June, 1851. in this village to Miss Frances H. Blake, daughter of  Commodore Blake, a prominent lake captain.  Mrs. Enos survives her husband.  Capt. Enos was a member of the Waukesha Lodge, F. and A. M., and a Past Master; of Waukesha Chapter, R. A. M., and of the Wisconsin Commandery, K. T., of Milwaukee. He was also a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge.

At the funeral services on Wednesday there was a very large attendance, including a number of Capt. Enos' old friends from Milwaukee. Solemn and impressive services were conducted by the Masons. Rev. P. S. Everett made an appropriate address and H. S. Hughes sang. A long procession followed the remains to their last resting place in Prairie Home cemetery.

Arthur is survived by four brothers, all of whom reside here but one who is on the police force in Milwaukee, three sisters and his mother. His father was killed some years ago by being stabbed.

News of Waukesha Death of John Evans, an Early Settler of New Berlin

WAUKESHA, Wis., Nov. 26. - John Evans, aged 77 years, died at 4:30 o'clock this morning at his home on East avenue, in this city, after a protracted illness. He was born in New Lisbon, Otsego county, N. Y., where he spent the first nineteen years of his life, attending the common schools and learning the trade of shoemaker. He was married in Alabama, N. Y., to Miss Lucy L. Peckham, a native of Norwich, Conn. In 1844 Mr. Evans made his first visit to Wisconsin, staying for a short time with his brother, Sidney, the first settler of the town of New Berlin, this county. In 1846 he again came to Wisconsin and bought his brother's farm, on which he lived until about three years ago, when he moved to Waukesha to pass the rest of his days. The farm on which Mr. Evans lived was for many years in early times assessed higher than any other farm in the town as more clearing and better buildings were to found upon it. Mr. Evans was a Democrat and held several important offices during his residence in New Berlin, having been elected chairman of the town a great many times. He was chairman of the county board in 1878 and 1879 and his official record was above reproach. He leaves a wife and four children, the latter being Mrs. Milton Johnston of Decatur, Ill.; A. E. Evans of Faulkton, S. D.; A. L. Evans of Denver, Colo., and E. J. Evans of Waukesha. The deceased was a prominent member of the M.

Death of John Evans One of the Pioneer Residents of Waukesha County Passes Away

Waukesha, Wis., Nov. 26 - John Evans died this morning at his home on East avenue. He had been in ill-health for two years. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 1:30 p. m. Saturday. The Rev. Webster Millar, pastor of the M. E. church, will conduct the service.

In the early summer of 1846 while the county was almost a wilderness Mr. Evans took up his residence on a small farm in the town of New Berlin, where he lived until about six years ago, when he came to the county seat. During his long residence in the county he was always prominent in the county political affairs and held the honor of serving on the County Board of Supervisors longer than any other citizen. He came from the sturdy race of the Revolutionary period, and his grand parents, who lived in Boston, were prominent in the fight for liberty. His grandmother was present at the Boston Tea party and assisted in the great struggle of the colonies during the Revolutionary war. His grandfather, Barnabas, fought in the ranks for seven years.

John Evans was born in Otsego, N. Y., in July, 1819, and was given the educational advantages afforded by the primitive public schools. He learned the trade of shoemaker in the shop of his father, but was compelled by ill-health to abandon the occupation. In 1844, after his return from a visit to his brother in New Berlin, he was married to Lucy L. Peckham at Lockport, N. Y., and they had four children - Philena A., wife of Milton Johnson of Decatur, Ill.; Alonzo Lee of Denver, Alva E., editor of The Faulkton, S. D., Republican Record, and Elbert J. of this city. After coming West the family prospered amid their wild surroundings and eventually Mr. Evans built a fine residence on the homestead farm. He always took a deep interest in all that related to the pioneer days of the county and was instrumental in collecting the early history of his town.
