verhill, Mass., a daughter of Edward and Celiana Marcotte, her parents
having three other children. Mr. and Mrs. Eno have two children--Ernest
Alfred and Eldora Emma. Although not bound to any political party, Mr.
Eno usually votes the republican ticket and he is now in public service as an
extra policeman. With his family he belongs to the Catholic church. His
fraternal affiliations are with the Red Men, the Royal Arcanum and the
Foresters. Mr. Eno is recognized as one of the diligent and enterprising
business men of Exeter.
