JESS E. ENYART, PIONEER BANKER, DIES IN SOUTH

Jess E. "Dad" Enyart, pioneer Medford banker, organizer and president of
the Medford National bank, died October 31 at his home in Maywood, Cal.,
according to word received here today.

Mr. Enyart, 76, had been ill for an extended time. He resided in Maywood
for the past 18 years and was one of that city's best known and beloved
citizens.

The former local resident was a native of Logansport, Ind., where he was
born May 14, 1864. He came to Medford in 1889 where he lived for 22 years 
and was actively engaged in banking for 21 of those years. He had watched
the local bank's rapid growth since its inception July 1, 1899, with a
capitalization of $25,000 until when he left its presidency, its capital
and surplus aggregated $125,000.

After his retirement, Mr. Enyart devoted most of his time to the
development of fine ranches in the Rogue River valley. He returned to
business life, however, to become associated with the Bankers Mortgage
company and the Portland Cat[-?-] Loan company of Portland.

He was a member of Masonic lodge, No. 103, A. F. and A. M., Medford. Later
he joined the Al Kader Shrine temple of Portland, the Malta Commanders, No.
4, Knits Templar at Ashland. He was charter member of the Hillah lodge of
Ashland. Later he transferred his membership to Al Malaikhah of Los
Angeles. He was also a member of Elks lodge, Medford.

Funeral services were held Saturday. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs.
Hazel Loud, 6935 Mayflower avenue, Bell, Calif.
