Obituary- Enos, Margaret

MARGARET ENOS
Margaret Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Evans, was born Nov¬ember 22, 1850 in Oneida County, N.Y. She was one of 11 children, all of whom with the parents are now de¬ceased. She was of Welch descent, both her father and mother were born in Wales, and this gave her a good heritage from a strong devout ancestry.
She was united in marriage with Pascal Enos at Topeka, in 1876 and after a happy family life of ten years, Mr. Enos passed away leaving her with two little children, Zimria Enos of Perry, Kansas and Pascal Enos, Jr., of Oklahoma City. She met the struggle in those pioneer days with her little family in such a successful way, meeting the hard¬ships and difficulties and surmount¬ing them, using the best that she had for the battle of life. The boys were present in her last days and when she passed away.
She was a college graduate of some institution in New York and had taught school for ten years prior to her marriage and after the death of Mr. Enos she went back again into the school room at Kingsville for a period of two years where she had taught. She was a successful mother, not only to her own boys but gave at least three girls a good chance in life, Dora James, Mrs. Nettie Startup McKoun, Wichita, Ks., and Mrs. Zena Loveland of To¬peka, who gave affectionate atten¬tion to her foster-mother during her recent illness.
She had been a member of the Methodist church since childhood, taught in the Sunday School and associated in every department of church life and work. She was also a member of the Eastern Star and had great regard for her associates in that society.
She went to the Methodist Home November 6, 1926, from Rossville, Kansas, where she had battled with the struggles of life, and the boys having married, left her all alone, so from November 6, 1926 until now she had a little respite in this “house by the side of the way of life.” She was an omnivorous reader, sitting up late in the night and seemed to be at home and in good company when she had found a good book.

After attending a service at the Cowman Memorial church, which she greatly enjoyed, coming out of the church she missed a step and fell and was brought home and attended by a physician and after some little tune seemed to recover, but as we now remember perhaps she never was recovered from the injury to the back of her head when she fell on the hard sidewalk.
She has gone to her reward and has made such an impression upon those with whom she lived and has established such affectionate rela¬tions not only with the children and their families but with her neigh¬bors and friends that we will all want to go whither she has gone— in God’s Good Time.
The funeral services was con¬ducted by Rev. Zook assisted by Dr. S.B. Alderson, former pastor of the Presbyterian church and close friend of the family, Tuesday after¬noon, March 6.
The music was furnished by Mrs. Wm. Butters, Mrs. Clyde Cless, Rev. Gordon Pritchett and J.D. Fink, with Mrs. E.G. Griswold, pianist. Songs sung were—“Have Thine Own Way Lord,” “God Will Take Care of You,” “Sweet Bye and Bye.”
