ANOTHER VETERAN GONE
Mr. Enoch L. Harcourt, of this city, who died last week, in his 86th year, was the grandfather of our esteemed Grand Receiver, Dr. T. J. Harcourt. He was born in Maryland in 1790, and came to Cincinnati in 1804, moving to Kentucky some time after, and settling near Cynthiana, Ky. He remained there about five years when he returned to Ohio, locating first in Butler County, then in Hamilton County and spent the remainder of his long and honorable and useful life in an about Cincinnati.
Mr. Harcourt was one of the early brick makers of the City, but carried on his
business with indifferent success, having, like too many others, a strong faith in the honesty of his patrons, that was not confirmed when they were called upon to settle their accounts. He was married on attaining his majority, and had the companionship of his wife of his youth for over a half centruy. She having preceded him to the grave about nine years ago.
The couple had 8 children, five sons and three daughters, of whom three sons
and two daughters are still living, and at the time of his death Mr. Harcourt
could number among his descendants some forty grandchildren and fifty great
grandchildren. He was, like many of the pioneers, possessed of a robust
constitution, and enjoyed almost uninterrupted health up to within a few weeks of his death, being remarkly active for one of his age.
He was a man of large frame, and imposing presence, and as he was always
very temperate in his habits, it may be that, to that fact should be attributed to his exception from disease, and his ability to with stand the decay of age to such an extended period.
Mr. Harcourt was a consistent member of the Christian Church for sixty years,
and it is consoling to reflect that he appears before his Supreme Judge with so long a record of service in the divine cause. With his death, another of our sturdy pioneers have passed away. One by one the winds of death shake the
ripened fruit from the tree, and the Master gathers them into eternal
rest.
Served in Captain's Van M. Henry's Company, Ohio INF. War of 1812, service from Feb 5. 1813 until Aug. 4, 1813.
