JOHN ALVIN ENOS

  John Alvin Enos, son of John Enos and the late Gertrude Stairs Enos, died at 
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Enos, Feb. 27, at 4 a.m.  He was born 
June 13, 1902.  He was a resident of the Jersey District all his life.  
Following an attack of scarlet fever some years ago, from which he had recovered 
nicely, he went to work too soon and suffered a serious relapse which left him a 
semi-invalid.  Through all his suffering and crippled condition he retained his 
annay disposition and was always most optimistic.  He conducted an oiling 
station at his home, which was in operation until he was unable to attend to 
business.  He was seriously sick and suffered terribly for several months before 
he passed away quietly and peacefully.  Funeral services were held at 1 o'clock 
at his late home on Thursday afternoon.  The large crowd present was a tribute 
to his popularity.  Rev. Oakes of the Confluence Christian Church conducted the 
services.  Mrs. Frank Mitchell and Mrs. Charles Beggs sang several beautiful 
selections.
  The four brothers and two brothers-in-law carried him to his last resting 
place - across from his home in the Jersey Cemetery, just as they had carried 
him from place to place in life.  He is survived by his father, John Enos, and 
these brothers and sisters: Lester, Glenn and Samuel Enos, and Mrs. Richard 
Alcott of the Jersey District; William Enos of Confluence; Miss Martha Enos, 
Pittsburgh, and Mrs. Ronald Selbaugh of Twin Rocks, Pa.  Charles Humbert of 
Confluence was in charge of the funeral.
