Harrison Eneix, farmer, P. O. Minooka; is of Virginia stock, and was born in 
Marshall County, near Wheeling, Va., February 28, 1825. His father, Brice 
Eneix, was a native of Fayette County, and married Leah Mace, a native of 
England. Mr. Eneix was reared to agricultural pursuits; at the age of twenty-
two, he started in life to do business upon his own account. March 16, 1848, 
he wedded Lovina, daughter of Clemeth Leech, and engaged as a tiller of the 
soil. In 1855, he came West, to this State, locating in Lisbon, Kendall 
County, remaining there two years, when he sold his interests and removed to 
Saratoga Township, this county, and purchased a farm of 200 acres. In the 
spring of 1877, he sold his farm, and has since been located in Minooka, and 
is yet farming, having 162 1/2 acres in Will County, Ill. Since 1859, Mr. 
Eneix was engaged in stock trading, his field of operations extending over a 
large extent of country; he continued in the stock business with varied 
success up to within the past two years, but since that time has abandoned the 
business, and given his personal attention to the management of his farm. Of a 
family of twelve children borne him, ten are now living - Corbley, John, 
Rachel, Clara, Franklin, Amanda, Martha, Eliza, Mary and Harrison. Rachel 
resides in Iroquois County, wife of Thomas Riggs. Clara resides in Minooka, 
wife of Jacob Dahlem. Amanda is also a resident of this place, wife of Oliver 
Sadler. The other children are residents of the town. In 1864, Mr. Eneix made 
a trip to Idaho, and driving an ox-team and being four months on the road, 
having no idea at that time of the marked improvements that have since taken 
place in that waste of country over which he traveled with his ox-team. Mr. 
Eneix is a member of Minooka Lodge, No. 528, A., F. & A. M., and was one of 
the charter members of the establishment of the lodge of Lisbon, Kendall 
County.
