Enos Thayer was born October 26,1836 in Wayne County Ind. where he continued to live until after the war. At the breaking out of the war, he enlisted in the Nineteenth Indiana and served with unusual distinction. We have it from other members of the local Grand Army post that no old soldier in the city saw as much service as the deceased and none performed any better. He was in many hard battles from Bull Run all the way through to Gettysburg, where he was severely wounded. At the close of the war he returned to Indiana where on April 1,1866, near Wabash, he was married to Mary E. Faries. In the fall of the same year they moved to Macon county, Ill. where they resided for sixteen years, coming to Buena Vista county February 22,1882, and settling on a farm in Maple Valley township, where they continued to live until about seventeen years ago when they moved to this city, which has since been the family home.

Jay of Pendleton, Oregon and a half sister Mrs. Minerva Priest of Munice Ind. and a half brother, Joseph Younce also of Munice.
Deceased was a honored member of the Masonic fraternity and faithfully obeyed its excellent precepts. In everything he was a good citizen and stood for what was best for the community. Hosts of friends have been won to him during his long stay in this county who know him as a man of sterling integrity, and steadfast manhood. He was all that a husband and father should be. A native shrewdness made him successful in his business dealings. In his death the city loses a good citizen in every respect. The family he has raised is sufficient evidence of his stability and character. His health began to fail almost tow years ago, Bright's disease fastening itself upon him, finally causing his death as stated above. He received the best attention and everything possible including a sojourn in Hot Springs, Ark. was done but to no avail.
Funeral service were held at the Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Nathaniel Pye, D. D. They were attend by a large concourse of friends of the family, by the Grand Army post, the Eastern Star and Masonic fraternities in a body. He was buried in the Storm Lake cemetery with Masonic honors, James DeLand Officiating as Master.
