515   HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY

Frank W. Enghauser, for many years a well-known citizen of this county, 
was a native born son of this region. Born in Middleville township, October 
29, 1879, and died in Maple Lake village, May 13, 1914; this comparatively 
brief life was filled with busy work and successful accomplishment. His 
career was a useful one, and his years were well-lived. Frank W. Enghauser 
was the son of Joseph and Matilda (Heaton) Enghauser, the pioneers. He was 
reared on the farm and attended the district school. At the age of eighteen 
he went to Buffalo, and learned the barber trade with Walter Davis. Then 
he opened a shop of his own in Maple Lake. In 1902 and 1903 he was in the 
real estate business in the same village. For the next five years he again 
devoted his attention to barber work. In 1908 he spent the year in 
regaining his failing health. It was in April, 1909, that he bought the 
controlling interest in the Maple Lake Telephone Co., which had been 
organized in 1905. When Mr. Enghauser took hold of it, there were 125 
subscribers. By hard work and energetic determination he increased this 
list to 320. Since his death, his wife has owned the company. Mr. Enghauser 
was married December 30, 1903, to Josephine E. Zimmerman, daughter of 
Frederick and Matilda (Nelson) Zimmerman. She was born May 16, 1882, the 
youngest of a family of three, and was educated in the Annandale schools. 
Mr. and Mrs. Enghauser have two children. Paul was born June 6, 1908. 
John Francis was born May 21, 1912.
