1950 Obituary
Jesus Christ, the shepherd of all souls, called tonight at 22.45 h, his servant, our good father, father-in-law, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother-in-law and uncle,
Farmer
Josef Enneking
To his eternity.
His life was work and effort, his way of life was really Christian and religious, his heart full of kindness, his courage indestructible. He gained the strength to bear the infirmity of old age and the last days of illness from the salvation springs of our catholic religion.
He died after receiving the last sacraments in dignity in the 87th year of his life peacefully in the Lord.
We ask for a devout prayer for our dear deceased

Unfortunately there was no address or other names given. I know now that he took the name Enneking again and that there are living descendants. All ideas, theories and actual information appreciated.
