   Elmer Ellsworth Enoch, a leading member of the bar of Wichita, Kan., is a
native of the Buckeye State, he having been born at Morristown, Belmont county,
Ohio, on February 10, 1864. His early education was obtained in the public
schools of the state, and at Franklin College, Ohio, from which he was graduated
in the class of 1885 with the degree of bachelor of arts. After leaving college
Mr. Enoch began the study of law at St. Clairsville, Ohio, and was admitted to
the bar of the state in 1888. In the same year he removed to Wichita, Kan., with
whose interests he has ever since been prominently identified, and began the
practice of his profession. His abilities won early recognition, and he soon
built up a lucrative practice. His first political office was as clerk in the
probate court of Wichita, in which capacity he served during the years
1895-97-1901-04. He was elected to the office of justice of the peace and served
in that position during the years 1897-99, inclusive. In 1903 Mr. Enoch was
elected probate judge of Sedgwick county, of which Wichita is the county seat,
and served on the bench during the years 1904-07, inclusive. After retiring from
the bench Mr. Enoch again resumed the practice of law, which he has continued to
the present time. Mr. Enoch was married in 1888 to Miss Ella Douglas West, a
daughter of the late State Senator Henry West, of Ohio. From this union five
children have been born. They are: Edith, who married J. L. Fox, of Joplin, Mo.,
where she now lives; Mary, Henry S., Alfred W. and Elmer Ellsworth, Jr.
