**********************************************************************
Enos Craig, City Marshal, was born in Holmes County, Ohio, April 27, 1829, and came to St. Joseph in September, 1850. He married Emily M. Barnes, in this county, April 4, 1852. They have four children: Corydon F., Morton H., Lilia M. and Lulu A. Mr. Craig was a hard working man, living in Iowa when work was the order of the day. He operated a large breaking team for awhile, but became a victim of the California fever in 1852, and, with many others, remained in the land of gold until 1859, when he returned to this place, and accepted a position in the post office. He remained there until 1862, when he was elected Sheriff of the county, and held the office for the term of two years. In 1865, he was appointed mail agent on the Hannibal & St. Joseph R.R. In April, 1866, he was elected Marshal, of the city. The changing of the city charter vacated all officers then acting, so he stepped down and out, but, in 1870, he was again appointed mail agent, and served faithfully for nearly four years; then ticket agent for the Hannibal & St. Joseph R.R., one year, and in 1877, was again appointed mail agent on the St. J & W. and again in 1878, was appointed to a position in the Post office as general delivery and forwarding clerk. This position he held two years, and was for the second time elected City Marshal, etc. |
