The following is from “Portrait and Biographical Record of Ford County, Illinois,” Lake City Publishing Co., Chicago 1892:
"Elmer Enoch, one of the most extensive stock dealers of Ford County and a prominent resident of Roberts, is so well known in this community that he needs to special introduction to our reader who will, we feel assured, receive this record of his life with interest. He was born in McLean County, Ill., April 10, 1860, and is a son of Joseph and Sarah (Mitchell) Enoch. His father was born in McLean County, in 1832, acquired a common-school education and is now a dealer in real estate and livestock. In politics, he is a Republican and is a member of the Methodist Church, to which his wife also belonged. Her death occurred in 1869. Our subject has two sisters: Lottie, who is married and resides in Chicago; and Louisa, who is married and makes her home in McLean County.
"Elmer Enoch acquired a good practical education in the common schools, and at he age of seventeen commenced life for himself with no capital save a disposition to succeed and a pair of willing hands. He gave his attention to the pursuit with which he had been familiar since his boyhood, that of stock raising, and until 1884, resided in McLean County. In that year, he came to Roberts, where he has since made his home. During 1891, he shipped over the Illinois Central Railroad one hundred and fifty-five car loads of stock, the largest shipment made on this division of the road that year by one man. He purchases all kinds of live stock and makes a specialty of hogs and cattle. He deals directly with the Chicago markets and his sales in the past year amounted to about $100,000. He is an excellent judge of stock and has met with a well-deserved success in his business career.
"Mr. Enoch led to the altar Miss Jemima Olive, daughter of Rev. David Olive, of Zanesville, Ohio. She was educated at the seminary of Zanesville, and is a lady of culture and refinement, who has shown decided talent as an artist. Two children graced this uni8no but Lulu Olive, the elder, died at the age of three and a half years and her loss was a deep grief to her parents; Winnefred, the younger daughter, is the light of the Enochs household.
"In his political affiliations, Mr. Enoch is a Republican, having supported that party since casting his first Presidential vote for Gen. James A. Garfield. His wife is a member of the Methodist Church and they have contributed to its support and to benevolent and charitable interests worthy of their consideration. Mr. Enoch is recognized as a public-spirited and progressive citizen who does all in his power for upbuilding of the community in which he resides and the promotion of the general welfare. He is a courteous, genial gentleman, who well deserves representation in this volume."
