<br />
==Occupation==<br />
Enos was a farmer. Having been born and raised in a rural community where farming was the primary occupation, Enos joined his father in the farming business. Enos did not marry until later in life and was still working with his father and brother Ethan in the farming business in 1870.<ref name="1870Census">1870 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> Apparently they did well financially as they were able to support three grown men and employ a young woman as housekeeping help for their elderly mother.<ref name="1870Census"/> When his father, [[James J. Wright]] died on March 14, 1872<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref>, Enos and his brother Ethan took over the farming activities.<ref name="1880Census">1880 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> Enos continued to farm with his brother Ethan, who never married.<ref name="1900Census">1900 US Census, Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> <br />

<br />
==Marriage & Children==<br />
On December 23, 1885, Enos Wright married [[Ida Mae Schoonmaker]] (B. May, 21, 1858, D. June 21, 1933).<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref><br><br />
<br />
Enos and Ida Mae had three children:<br />
*[[Luella Esther Wright]] Sand (B. Dec 25, 1886, D. April 27, 1936)<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref><ref>Luella Esther (Wright) Sand's Obituary from newspaper clipping in the Hon. and Mrs. Franklin M. Shultes' scrapbook, Bernehistory.org</ref><br />
*[[Frank A. Wright]] (B. Aug 18, 1888, D. May 7, 1966)<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref><br />
*[[Pauline Agatha Wright]] Swint (b. April 28, 1899, D. July 31, 1954)<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref><br />
<br />
Their marriage occurred a few months after the death of his mother. [[Ida Mae Schoonmaker]], who was 27 years of age, had been a domestic in the home of his parents. Ida Mae had been born on May 21, 1858 to [[Charles H. Schoonmaker]] and [[Phebe Esther Gardiner]], and thus was about two decades younger than Enos.<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref> The spelling of Ida Mae’s name is uncertain as both May and Mae has been recorded.<br />
<br />
==Residence==<br />
At about the time of the 1900 census, Enos built a Greek Revival farm house on Heldeberg Trail (Rt. 443) in the village of [[Berne]]. It was said to have replaced an earlier house. The large two story frame house included a large attic, a front porch facing south toward the road and a summer kitchen to the east. Ultimately the farm included one large post and beam three story barn, a large chicken coop for the commercial raising of chickens, two small room sized sheds, a single car garage, a small barn and the outhouse. The small barn, a salt boxed style building with two stories, was previously a house in [[East Berne]] before it was moved to the current location. <br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
In the 1890s Enos Wright bought several pieces of property. The first on April 24, 1890 from J. M. Hochstrasser and others. The second March 27, 1893 from Lany E. Christler and the third April 30, 1895 from Roxcie and Alvira Hochstrasser.<ref>Albany County Deed records, Albany Hall of Records</ref> <br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
Enos died on March 3, 1905, probably in [[Berne]] at 68 years of age, and was buried at [[Beaverdam Cemetery]] in Berne.<ref name="Bernehistory">Bernehistory.org</ref> <br />
<BR><br />
He left his young widow Ida, only 48 years old, with their children Luella 18, Frank 17 and the youngest Pauline, who was only 6. At 17 years of age, Frank was able to handle many of their farming chores and ultimately took over the farm.<ref>1905 NY State Census Berne, Albany Co, NY</ref> His widow, Ida May, was the administratix of his estate.<ref>"Notice to Creditiors", [[Altamont Enterprise]] March 1905</ref> <br />
<BR><br />
Enos' widow Ida Mae did not die until June 21, 1933.<ref>Mrs. Ida M. Wright's obituary [[Altamont Enterprise]] Friday June 30, 1933</ref><br />
