county, died at his home in Coburg,Saturday night,from heart failure,aged 62

settled on a farm 15 miles southwest of eugene. Enoch remained on the farm

pursuits for a number of years,finally settling in the stock business on a 
farm near Harrisburg. he later purchased a fine farm near Coburg, where he 
raised cattle extensively,retiring only a few years ago and allowing his son 
in law to run the place.

in the State Senate from 1882 to 1886 and later served one term in the Lower 
House. he was married in 1864 to Miss Mary Walton,who, with two sons and one 
daughter,survives him.
