Mrs. Mary Enos Aged 90 Dies

Was last of Old Keepers Family of Connellsville

Accident Hastened Death

Up to the time she broke her hip some time ago Mrs Enos had been in remarkably good health for a woman of 90.

The death of Mrs. Mary Keepers Enos, which occurred on Friday at 6:30 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Miller on east Gibson avenue, removed from Connellsville, one of the oldest and most widely known residents as well as the last surviving member of the Keepers family. Mrs. Enos was aged 90 years and 6 months. About 3 months ago Mrs. Enos fell and dislocated her hip. Since that time her health commenced to fail and the injury hastened her death. Up until she met with the injury Mrs. Enos enjoyed excellent health and was able to visit among her children and friends. Her death was not unexpected. Yesterday she became unconscious and remained in that state up until her death.

Mrs. Enos was born in Connellsville and spent all of her life here. Before her marriage she was Miss Mary Keepers and is the last surviving member of the Keepers family. When a young woman, she was married to Jonathan Enos, who in his time was a well known blacksmith and a prominent resident of Connellsville. Practically all their married life was spent in the old Enos homestead on East Main street. To the union 12 children were born three of whom survive. Mrs Enos was a member of the Christian church and as long as her health would permit she took an active part in church work. She was well read and took great delight in conversing with her many friends who spent many pleasant hours with the aged woman.

She is survived by three children, Mrs. Henry Kurtz, and Edward Enos of Connellsville and Mrs. Mary Taggart of Big Stone Gap, W. Va. A large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren also survive. Her husband died about 20 years ago and since that time Mrs. Enos had made her home with her children. Mrs. Taggart has been here for the past six weeks and was with her mother when death came. The body will be removed by Funeral Director Zol to the home of Henry Kurtz on Church Place from which place the funeral will take place. The hour of the services has not yet been set.
The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev E B Burgess pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church will officiate. Interment private in Chestnut Hill cemetery.
