Notes for Doris Enoch (Spouse 1)
No children.1026

When just a child, he was bitten by a hydrophobic dog. His mother drove him to Austin, Texas so that he could receive the recommended "shots," which were given in the abdomen. The painful injections affected Enoch's thinking capacity, causing him difficulty in school. The experience caused him to fail the school grade that year.

He died of a stroke. For years he had been a heavy smoker and had open heart surgery a few years before his death. Too, from childhood he was of "hefty" build.

Enoch was a kind-hearted man who had no difficulty showing his love, especially to his mother. Out of love and concern for his parents' welfare, he remained the sole worker for the company with his father until his father was able to receive government benefits. In so doing, he endured years of impoverishment.

Enoch had a passion for squirrel hunting, often remaining after work to hunt in nearby woods. Jessie, his wife, would make squirrel stew for him, along with pinto beans, cornbread, and many other favorite foods.

Birth record spells first name Dorris. Physician: F. H. Carlisle.
