_____
TROY, TENN., MARCH 18, 1888. - Death this morning removed from our midst one of our best known and respected citizens. Hon. A. B. Enloe breathed his last at 5 o'clock surrounded by many of his best friends and family.
Maj. Enloe was born five miles southeast of this place April 6, 1827, being in his 61st year at his death; receieved a meager education, and while working on the farm spent his unoccupied time in the study of law, and was licensed to practice in 1853 and one year later was admitted as a partner with Judge S. W. Cochran, his former preceptor, which parternship continued until Judge Cochran by ill health retired, since which date Maj. Enloe and Col. John E. Wells have been partners. Maj. Enloe served his country faithfully during the late civil war where he won his title, which was ever borne by him untarnished. Maj. Enloe was a staunch Democrat, and in 1876 represented Obion and Lake Counties in the Lower House of the General Assembly, and while there drafted and succeeded in getting through the legislature the now celebrated four-mile law (three mile-law until amanded later). Maj. Enloe was a member of the Masonic fraternity, also a member of the Associated Reform Presbyterian Church.
Maj. Enloe's reputation as a lawyer was co-extensive with the State, and was one of the best known land lawyers in West Tennessee. Maj. Enloe leaves a widow and three minor children and a host of friends to mourn his death.
