OBITUARY Enoch Edmonston
Another Old Citizen Gone.
Enoch Edmonston, an old and well-known citizen of this county, died at his residence in Bainbridge Township on Wednesday morning last, aged 71 years and 4 days. He was taken ill Friday afternoon previous to his death, while stacking hay, doubtless occasioned by overexerting himself. Mr. Edmonston was a man of extraordinary activity for one of his age, and not withstanding, he had accumulated a large property; it was natural for him to be hard at work. The deceased was a native of North Carolina; emigrated to this county from Indiana in 1834, and settled in the vicinity of his late residence. He was a life-long member of the Democratic party which honored him several times with prominent official positions in the county. His second wife and seven children survive him, the youngest being about two years old.

He and his father and brothers settled in Columbia Township, where they lived for many years, until the family scattered; Enoch moving to Illinois where he owned a large farm which he lived on until his death, much respected by a large circle of friends and regarded as a pioneer of that now wealthy and populous county.
