Fall Kills Former Adams County Boy
Virgil Enyart Thrown From Horse While Taking a Ride
Local Minister’s Son
Held High Position In United States Army, Won By Competitive Exam
Honolulu, Nov. 8 – Lieutenant Virgil V. Enyart, First United States infantry, died here of injuries received when he was thrown from his horse while returning from a review at Schofield barracks. The review was the farewell to his command of Brigadier-General Robert K. Evans, commanding the troops in the department of Hawaii, who goes on the retired list next month. Lieutenant Enyart, a native of Indiana, was appointed to the army in 1912 from Ohio.
Young Enyart was the son of Rev. C. F. Enyart and wife, who once resided at Manchester, where he was in charge of the Methodist congregation there. He has filled several southern Ohio appointments, the last being at Georgetown. At the conclusion of this he went west, where he was an instructor in a Kansas college. Young Enyart won his commission as lieutenant while a student at the Wesleyan university and was immediately transferred to Hawaii. He was in his twenty-fifth year. The parents have another child, Miss Alta, who is still a student in a college at Indianapolis, where they reside.
