Note: Enos's middle name may be Thomkins.  He and his older 
brother, George, were sent to live with their uncle Morris Woodruff 
in Orwell, Bradford County, PA, shortly after their father's death 
in 1850.

Enos was a woodworker, lumberjack, mail hauler, and wagon maker.  
Listed on the 1870 U.S. census as a 25-year-old wagon maker with A. J. 
Baldwin. His birthdate is in dispute.  Death certificate shows 71 
years, 6 months, 20 days.  The 1880 census states age 38 while 1900 
census states he was born in February 1843.  Gravestone shows birth 
year of 1846.  

He and his wife bought a house and lot in Auburn Center in 1908 
for $200.  After their deaths, son Miles lived in the house until 1961. 

The house later burned.  Enos died as the result of apoplexy (stroke).
