Again the Review compelled to announce the death of one of the County's pioneers. David Enoch was called upon to pay the debt all must pay on Tuesday night last. He was in the city but a few days ago in apparently as good health as ever; but a sudden stroke of paralysis caused his death Tuesday night. Mr. Enoch was born in Butler County, Ohio July 1811, and at the time of his death was almost 78 years of age. He immigrated to this County in 1844 and settled on what is now known as the Catlin Farm. From there he removed to the farm now occupied by his oldest son. Ten years ago, he purchased the Hutton Farm on the Darlington gravel road, where he resided at the time of his death. He was the father of 12 children, 7 of which, with his wife survive him. Mr. Enoch, during the years of his long and busy life had accumulated a large property, worth probably $75,000, consisting of real estate and bank stock. The funeral took place Thursday at 2 o'clock, from the family residence. Interment at Oak Hill Cemetery - Kim H
