ENFIELD, M., physician and surgeon, P. O. Clarinda; born March 9, 1845, in Wisconsin. There he grew to manhood subject to all the vicissitudes of a farm boy, receiving his education in the common school, in Evansville Seminary, and at Lawrence University—all in his native state. Until 1869 he followed farming and teaching. In that year he began the study of medicine with Dr. R. Broughton, of Broadhead, Wisconsin. He graduated from Rush Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, in February, 1873. He then came to Clarinda, and began the practice of his profession, which he has continued since. He enjoys a most liberal share of public confidence and patronage. Married February 28, 1874, to Miss Lila Broughton, a native of Wisconsin. They are the parents of three children: Gracie A., John B. and Donald.
