WILLIAM D. ENNOR , one of the most widely known citizens of Jo Daviess county, died in Apple River Wednesday, at the advanced age of 87 years. His end was sudden, following an illness of only a few days' duration. For fifty-one years he had been a citizen of this county and he accumulated a large estate. Born in Cornwall, England, in 1806, Mr. Ennor lived there until 1835 when he came to American with his family, having married several years before. Seven years later he came to Galena and in 1847, when land hereabouts was thrown open for settlement he was among the first to take a claim. He settled in East Galena township, near Combellick's furnace, where he resided until about ten years ago, when he moved to Apple River. Since then he has resided alternately at his Apple River home and at the old homestead, usually spending a portion of the summer at the latter place.

Mr. Ennor was a man of much force of character and strong peculiarities. He would not permit himself to be imposed on and when he believed himself aggrieved he resented with all the force of his nature. It mattered not whether the grievance was great or small, he stood for his right's on principle. During his long career in this county he figured in some interesting litigation, of which his case against the Galena & Southern Wisconsin railroad company was perhaps the most famous. He was shrewd and successful in his business dealing and at one time was considered the wealthiest citizen of the county. His present estate amounts to many thousands. His wife and several of his children are dead. Mrs. M. H. Ennor, of Apple River, whose husband fell dead some weeks ago, is his daughter. He will be buried in the family vault on the homestead farm in East Galena. Some years later he selected a spot at the very summit of a lofty ridge on his farm as his last resting place. There he had excavated a vault and surmounted is with a modest monument. The remains of his wife were laid to rest there.
