GOES OVER THE LAST TRAIL
William Andrew Enslev, veteran

on the evening of July 21, at St.
Mary's hospital in Dawson. For
many years “Dad” Ensley, as he was

epilepsy which at times made it ne
cessary for him to be confined to
his bed. However, during the periods
between attacks he was always able
to be up and around, but during the
last few weeks his strength had been
steadily failing him, and on the day
before his death, was confined to
his bed never to rise again for on
the following day, a few minutes af
ter six o’clock, he closed his eyes
and passed peacefully into the great
beyond.
