General Notes: Husband - David Rittenhouse Porter Enyeart

---

He obtained his education in the common schools of his native township, and until he was fifteen years of age assisted his father on the home farm, accepting at that time a position in the general store of Orbison & Miller at Orbisonia, remaining in the employ of this firm for about four years. He then was engaged by M. Starr & Company of the same town, and continued with them for about five years, leaving to enter the employ of P. P. Deweese & Company, general merchants at Rockhill. After two years with this concern he obtained an appointment as assistant freight agent of the East Broad Top Railway Company at Orbisonia, and held this position for two years. At the end of this time he concluded that the opportunities for advancement and recognition were greater on the road than in the company's offices, and accordingly made application for a position as fireman, which, because of his previous service with the company and his creditable record, was readily granted. After three years of this life he left railroad employ, never to return, and entered his former field of activity, the mercantile business, forming a partnership in Orbisonia with Jacob Brodbeck, which, however, was discontinued after six months. In 1882 Mr. Enyeart opened a general store in a building erected for the purpose, later opening a hardware store, which was taken over by his son, William Rutter Enyeart. On February 17, 1913, Mr. Enyeart sold his mercantile interests and retired from active business. During his residence in Orbisonia he had acquired one hundred and sixty acres of land in the surrounding country, which he later sold.
He was a member of the Masonic order, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Patriotic Order Sons of America, and a Democrat in politics, having been councilman, member of the school board, county auditor, and having held numerous other local offices. He belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church.
