    Dr J Brandt Enos, a physician in successful practice, and a native of
Connellsville, is a son of Jonathan Enos and Mary Keepers Enos, and was
born at Connellsville, Fayette county, Penna, July 17, 1852.  
    His grandfather, George Enos, was a native of Somerset county, where he
died in 1863.  
    His father, Jonathan Enos, came from Somerset county in 1835 and located
at Connellsville, in the foundry and blacksmithing business until his
death in 1878.  He was a democrat, a member of the Disciple church, and a
good citizen.  His wife was a second cousin of James K Polk, and a
daughter of Major Joseph Keepers, once a proprietor of the Dunbar House,
who was born in 1794 and died in 1830.  The major's father, John Keepers
of Carlisle, Penna, was among the first settlers at Connellsville.
    Dr Enos received his education in the common schools, and at seventeen
years of age he began life on his own account, as an employee in a
railroad office, where he remained for some time.  He read medicine with
Dr John R Nickel of Connellsville, widely known as a physician and
surgeon, attended lectures at Cincinnati, and was graduated in the class
of 1874.  In the same year he entered into partnership with Dr Nickel,
which was terminated by the death of the latter; when he succeeded to his
practice moving to Belle Vernon a few years later.  
    In 1878 he was elected to the chair of anatomy and physiology in the
Physio-Medical Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio, and served acceptably in that
position for eight years.  In 1886 after an extended trip to the Southern
States and among the West Indies, Professor Enos located in Pittsburgh,
where he secured an extensive practice.  In 1889 he came to Connellsville,
and has since devoted himself to treating diseases of the throat and
lungs.
    In 1877 he married Miss Teresa Nickel, only daughter of Dr Nickel.  They
have two children: Fred W Enos and J Clive Enos.
    Dr Enos is first vice president of the American P M Association, and is
a valued and extensive contributor to current medical literature of the
day.  He left Pittsburgh on account of his health, and expects to make
Connellsville his future home.  He has a good practice, and is achieving
great success as a specialist.
