H. Ellis MRS. CATHERINE (DEISCH) ENSCH was born of German parentage in the state of Wisconsin, on October 7th, 1855, where she enjoyed the advantages of a common school education. At the age of eighteen she married Peter Tescher with whom nearly ten years of very happy married life, under the most favorable circumstances, were enjoyed. Five years after his decease a second marriage was contracted with Doctor Ensch and her real pioneer life commenced. Mrs. Ensch has always been an active business woman. Her first husband left her with property and in comfortable circumstances and by careful and prudent management she has continued to look after her money matters with good success. In the community in which she lives, Mrs. Ensch has many reliable and confiding friends .and all with whom she has social or business relations hold her in high estimation and respect. She has succeeded remarkably in adapting herself to the various conditions with which she is surrounded. While at Ellisville the duties of the postoffice and the store were taken up and quickly mastered, and the store at Seneca has always received her careful attention. Within the last year she has sold out her store at Seneca and invested in valuable land property between Faulkton and Orient, and is in the situation with less care and responsibility, to enjoy and see more of enjoyable relations of social life.
