Individual Details
Oscar Wallace Enloe
(14 Feb 1841 - 8 Sep 1915)
Oscar Wallace Enloe, born the fourth child of Enoch and Elizabeth Louisa (Kirkpatrick) Enloe, was born 14 February 1841 in Wisconsin. He died 8 September 1915 at Rewey, Wisconsin, and is buried in the Kirkpatrick Cemetery at Rewey, Wisconsin.
He married Mary Zervia Fairbanks, daughter of Olden and Anna Fairbanks in Platteville, Wisconsin, on 16 April 1865. She was born in 1840 in Illinois and died 16 June 1918. She, too, is buried in the Kirkpatrick Cemetery in Rewey, Wisconsin.
Oscar served in the Union Army in the Civil War. He enlisted at Platteville, Wisconsin, on 12 August 1861 and was mustered at Camp Randall, Madison, Wisconsin. He was twenty years of age and stood just a quarter-inch over six feet. He had black hair and black eyes and a dark complexion. He was a private in Compy C, 7th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry.
Enloe's pension application papers record that he was wounded in the testes at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, 2 July 1863. He apparently was captured and paroled by the Confederate Army and sent to Jarvis General Hospital in Baltimore. After recovery from that wound, he was wounded again, this time at Jericho Ford or North Anna (both are listed), Virginia, in May 1864. This time it was a serious chest wound and he was in a series of hospitals until September of 1864 when he was at Petersburg, Virginia where he was discharged 1 September 1864. He was a corporal. He lived many years near Rewey, Wisconsin.
There were five children born of the marriage.
