The following is George Enos' obituary from May 16, 1921 Herald Press:
GEORGE ENOS PASSES AWAY LAST NIGHT AT ST. JOSEPH SANITARIUM
"George Enos, 77, one of north Berrien county's pioneer residents, and veteran of the Civil war, passed away at the St. Joseph sanitarium at 7:50 p.m., Monday. Mr. Enos had been failing for some months and in January underwent a serious operation. He rallied, but shortly afterward suffered a relapse from which he failed to recover.
Mr. Enos was born in Benton township in 1844. He was only 17 years old when the Civil war broke out, but in 1863 at the age of 19 he enlisted in Company K (L) of the Ninth Michigan Cavalry, a famous organization of that time and served throughout the war. He marched in Sherman's army from Atlanta to the sea and was given his honorable discharge from the Union army at Lexington, North Carolina, on July 21, 1865.
On the first day of January, 1871, the deceased and Miss Clarestine (Clara) Smith were united in marriage at Coloma (Michigan). They moved to North Dakota, (1882) where Mrs. Enos died 27 years ago (1894). Eighteen years after moving west, Mr. Enos returned to Berrien county (~1900). For the past eight years he has made his home with his sister, Mrs. Alonzo Vincent, 719 Lake Boulevard. (St. Joseph, Michigan)
Mr. Enos is survived by six children; W(ilbert) E. Enos and Irwin Enos, of Spokane, Washington; Arthur Enos, Watervliet; Mrs. Charles (Cora) Hess, Buchanan; Mrs. Fred (Mira) Place, Dowagiac, and A(lonzo) E. Enos, Ashley, Montana, and 10 grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of Mrs. Vincent with interment at Watervliet. (Michigan)"
George is buried in the same plot as his son Arthur Enos, in the Watervliet Cemetery, Watervliet, MI.
