Eno Wilhelm was just a boy when his family moved from the old home in Washington Township to the place he now lives. He received a meager educational training, as he was the eldest of the children and his services were needed on the farm as soon as he was able to work. helped clear the farm, which was heavily timbered, and as the fields were full of stumps for many years, the work of plowing and cultivating was more difficult than it has been in recent times. He has always farmed in a general way and takes rank among the successful men of the community. His home farm was obtained from his father's estate, and the other forty acres was purchased by him from Julian Whittiker.
