Enos M. English was the 7th of the 9 known children of Lawson Scott English and Sarah Palestine Wilson of Grayson County, Kentucky. His paternal grandparents were James English and Mary Bratcher, who appeared as a young couple in the 1840 Census of Grayson County. His maternal gransparents were Christopher Collins Wilson and Rachel Satterwhite Wilkerson, who were married November 23, 1932 in Breckinridge County, Kentucky before moving to Grayson County.

Lawson Scott English was listed as a railroad laborer in the Caneyville area at the time of the 1870 Census of Grayson County. By 1880 the family, then living in the Spring Lick area of Grayson County, consisted of Lawson, 36; his wife Sarah P. 32; Montroville, 13; Iduma, 12; Alma, 10; Amos H., 8; Edna B., 6; Enos M., 3; and Fannie E., 1. Another sister, Lelia E. English was born the following year. All were listed as born in Kentucky with both of their parents born in Kentucky.

Enos M. English was born on November, 19, 1876 and was raised in Grayson County. He evidently followed in his father's footsteps as a railroad laborer. He was working as a track layer at the Browder Mine in Muhlenburgh County, Kentucky on February 1, 1910. He was one the 34 miners immediately killed in an explosion in the mine. Other victums died later from their injuries. His badly burned abd bruised body was returned to Grayson County where he was laid to rest in the Caneyville Cemetery. His Uncle Ancil Sylvester English preceded him there after his death on April 25, 1882. His Grandmother Sarah Palestine (Wilson) English joined them there after her death on June 21, 1927. His sister Lelia E. English was also buried there after her death on June 23, 1961.

The person (2duvalls) who contacted me by e-mail on November 17, 2008 requesting information about the burial place of Enos M. English, who died in the Browder Mine explosion, is currently researching the families of the victums in an attempt to release a book on this subject on February 1, 2010, the 100 year anniversary of the disaster at the Browder Mine. Their research indicates that Enos M. English was single and had served in the military for a few years at the turn of the century. Any further information would be appreciated.
