ENSLEY -- On the Friday, April 8, 1881, at his residence in this city, William S. Ensley.
The deceased was born on the 18th day of February, 1830, in Jackson Township, Shelby county, where he married Miss Elizabeth Perry, to whom was born six children, four of whom are living.
The writer had known the deceased for thirty years, and in all his intercourse with him always found him to be a gentleman of the very kindest disposition, full of sympathy and always ready to alleviate the sufferings of those in distress. No man ever went to William S. Ensley and asked him for a favor and went away denied of the same. He was a nature full of love and kindness; the humblest man in all the world never sought his roof without being accommodated. He was a hospitable root not only in name but in fact. Thousands today are ready to testify to his magnanimity and kindness. He idolized his wife and his children and never could do too much for their happiness. His was a gentle nature, full of those notable attributes which endear and attract us all. In politics he was always active and did all he could to advance the interests of the party he represented. His counsel and assistance could always be relied on in time of political peril and he never failed to do his duty. In 1863 he was elected county commissioner and served in that capacity which distinction for the term of three years. Let us pause and drop a tear at his grave, as his was one of the kindest and most gentle natures the writer has ever met. Peace be to his ashes and may the blossom bloom in happy recollection of his many virtues.
The funeral will take place in Robert's Chapel Cemetery, in Shelby County, on Sunday, April 10, 1881, at 2 o'clock p.m.
