Another of Cedartown's oldest citizens has gone to his long reward. Mr. J. D. Enlow-or "Judge" Enlow, as he was generally called-passed away at 8 o'clock Monday evening, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. Mr. Enlow was born in Brandenburg, Ky., seventy-eight years ago last August, and spent his young manhood there. He went with the Kentucky troops to the war, and was a gallant soldier of the Confederacy, serving thoughout the war. He lost a part of his right hand in the terrible battle of Spottsylvania Court House. After the war he returned to Kentucky, and was united in marriage in 1865 with Miss Gladden, who has been to him a faithful and loving helpmeet. They went to Cartersville, Ga., immediately after their marriage, and after living there about seven years, came to Cedartown, and this has been their home ever since. Mr. Enlow united with the Presbyterian church while living in Cartersville, and has been an active and earnest member of that church, being especially useful in the work of the Sunday School. He was very fond of children and flowers, having a kind word and smile for every child and being a great admirer of the beauties of nature. Mr. Enlow was esteemed by all who knew him and the Presbyterian church was filled at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by a concourse of friends to pay their last tribute to his memory. A large number of Confederate veterans attended in a body to render parting honors to their old comrade in arms. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. L. McFadden, assisted by Rev. C. K. Henderson and Rev. T. R. McCarty and the remains were taken to the city cemetery for interment. (Cedartown Standard, October 10, 1901)
