Eno, Henry have 1871-1928 11/2/2016 Henry Lane Eno - Wikipedia Henry Lane Eno From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Henry Lane Eno was born in New York City on July 8, 1871; he died at Montacute House, Somerset, on September 28, 1928. A member of the Eno real estate and banking family, [1] in he was the son of Henry Clay Eno and his wife Cornelia, the daughter of George W. Lane of New York. [2] Eno, a member of the circle of Mary Seney Sheldon, built the Fifth Avenue Building on the site of his grandfather's Fifth Avenue Hotel facing Madison Square; an unpaid researcher at Princeton University with the courtesy title of "Professor", he Montacute House, Somerset. Eno spent his final was better known as a psychologist, author and poet. years at Montacute, living the life of an English country gentleman. Having graduated from Yale College in 1894, and gaining an L.L.B. from Columbia (though he never practiced), in 1898 he married his first wife Edith Marie Labouisse. [3] On the death of his father in 1914, Enos inherited a fortune estimated at over $15,000,000; [4] this was considerably increased when in 1919, he successfully contested the $10 million will of his unmarried uncle, Amos E Eno, a son of the builder and owner of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, [5] for decades New York's grandest and most fashionable, the engine of the Eno fortune, originally founded in textile merchandising; Amos Eno was a founder of the Second National Bank of New York. The nephew claimed he needed the money for the education of his children, Amos and Alice. [6][7] Eno was the principal donor of Princeton's Eno Hall. Completed in 1924, it was described at the time as "The first laboratory in this country, if not in the world, dedicated solely to the teaching and investigation of scientific psychology.' [8] Eno's wife died in February 1922 at Princeton; in September 1923, he remarried in England, and settled there with his much younger English wife, Flora Napier. [9][10] The couple rented one of England's finest Elizabethan mansions, Montacute House in Somerset. [11] His daughter, Juliet (later Princess Alexei Melikoff) was born there in 1925. [12] Eno's widow Flora married, on August 1, 1931, (Ernest) Rupert Bertram Ogilvy Freeman-Mitford, son of the 1st Baron Redesdale, and became the mother of the 5th Baron Redesdale. She died on December 20, 1981. [13] Contents [Note: Brography omits reference 1 Works by Henry Lane Eno to H.L.

Work is well advanced on a large house being erected on the Schooner Head Road for Louis Butler McCagg. A costly house is to be built for Henry Lane Eno of New York on the Haight property, near Duck Brook. This house is to be three stories high, of brick and wood. and its design embodies several architectural novelties. including a pagoda off the large reception room. Ernesto G. Fabbri of New York is also to build on the Haight property. A. R. E. Pinchot will build a cottage in Eden Street, and Alanson Tucker one on the shore, near Sea Urchins.

Inshore from the house lie wood-encircled gardens the nearest of which, deeply sheltered with a riotous tangle of old-fashioned bloom and high hedges, is the favored resort of all creatures who love sunshine and flowers. Be- yond this garden a broad grassy swale flows gently down between tall evergreen forests from a rooky knoll to a small COVE bordered by steep and lofty cliffe; to the north, spruoes and pines shut out the cold autumn wind and the distant vil- lago; while still further away, to the south, lie the oulti- vated fields and copses of the nurseries, rolling to the wild, heavily timbered mountain lands of the Park itself. Here, therefore, within the briof compass of a few aores, are found all the varied conditions of ocean shore, upland glade, and steep hillside with their rooky dolls and ancient forests. More broadly, also, Mount Desert Island, as a whole, is singularly fortunate in its geographical location. Near the borderline of two great faunal areas, the Canadian and Alleghanian, and with its prominent mountains rising con- spicuously from the sea, "L'isle des Monts Deserts," - as Champlain BO picturesquely named it, now more than three hundred years ago, - is a progminent rallying point for the migrating myriads which stream along our eastern coast upon their spring and autumn journeys, as well as marking a boundary beyond which many of the more southern spocies are scaroely to be found, or south of which many northern varieties rarely stray. Yet, although upon the low lying grassy meadows at the northern end of the island, many of our familiar New England birds may be found, at Old Farm itself, with its high- cliffed shore, and forest covered ledges, the wild life is characteristically Canadian. In the warmer open fields, a few miles away towards the mainland, one sees, regularly enough, Blackbirds, Swallows, Sparrows, and Bluebirds; but, here, in the rough country that borders the sub-arotic waters at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy, both the flora and fauna are typical of the regions much further to the north. The Brown-headed Acadian Chioadee lisps his harsh note among the spruces, Olive-backed, and Hermit Thrushes frequent the thickets, and an occasional Northern Raven flaps heavily along the sheer rooky sides of Newport Mountain. To the bird loving visitor from further south the immediate impression is of suddenly dropping back into the months of early spring D of finding again, among the full foliage of midsummer, SO many of the familiar early migrants which filled the woods and orohards of the Middle States. Juncos, Purple Finches and White-throated Sparrows hop about the shrubs, the lazy rasping of the Black-throated Green Warbler is heard on every side, as well as the loud trilling of the Nashville and the cheery call of the Magnolia. Black- poll, Myrtle, Parula, and Chestnut-sided Warblers are common, and the melancholy. Wood Thrush is wholly replaced by the silver- voiced Hermit. He, of course, is easily first tenor, his voice ringing clear and sweet above the chorus. of Robins, Song Sparrows, and Red-eyed Vireos. Yet, so much has been written about his incomparable song that one hesitates to add further praise. I know, however, of no forest sound that possesses the same haunting, mysterious, yet joyful and etherial quality as the Hermit's liquid notes - especially when heard at even- ing as the sun sinks behind the purple mountains, and the bay is turned to a shimmering lake of crimson and gold. The Purple Finch also is one of our most charm- ing singers here at old Farm, and he, too, is heard, at dusk, his melodious sustained warble floating down from the topmost branch of some Bomber fir or hemlook. He is a vain fellow, quite different from the elusive Hermit, and it is amusing to see him raise his crest and exhibit, with so much evident 4 pleasure, his lovely rose-pink plumage before his modestly at- tired mate, strutting about like a miniature Ruffed Grouse. Small as the place is, the different sections constitute quite distinot habitats for the various forms of bird life. Sparrows, Swallows, Maryland Yellow Throats, and the infrequent Hawks are largely confined to the open fields inshore; Woodpeckers, Fly Catchers, Vireos, and most of the Warblers cling to the upland woods, while Goldfinches, Siskins, and Chioadees frequent the garden and its surrounding thickets. Here also, a pair of Hummingbirds have nested for several years, the malo of which diminutive family puzzled me sorely for some time. His throat and chin are jet black, his bill slightly curved, and the ruby patch only visible at near range when his feathers are much ruffled. So a-typical is he, indeed, that for some time I thought that he might have been one of the Blacked Chined species strayed strangely from his normal haunts in California. The common Warblers about the place in Summer are the Redstart, Maryland Yellow Throat, Myrtle, Magnolia, Black-throated Green, Parula, and Nashville. The Yellow, Blackpoll, Chestnut-sided, Black and White, and Ovenbird are less usual, but still fairly abundant, and this family, aside from the Robins and Sparrows, constitute the bulk of the bird population. The Redstarts with their brilliant black and flame coloured plumage dart about everywhere, and, with the lovely blue and yellow Magnolia, are decidedly the handsomest of their clan; although a pair of Chestnut-sided Warblers nest- ing in a low spruce, with their brilliant yellow crowns, rich ohestnut markings, and an altogether fascinating triplet of fluffy gray babies no larger than giant bumble bees, seemed soaroely less beautiful. Fly Catchers are very unusual on the place, for some reason which I have beon unable to discover, for there is plenty of water and appropriate food; while the almost ex- clusively Canadian charaoter of the bird life is clearly shown from the faot that I have never seen here a Blackbird, Bobo- link, Oriole or Meadowlark. Strolling down the grassy swale to the shore, the change to even more northern conditions is, for the naturalist, almost theatrical - as though a curtain were suddenly raised upon an entirely new setting. A oold breeze from the sub-arotic surge rises from the rocky beaches. Herring Gulls, and, not infrequently, Arotic Terns, wheel above the waves and plunge in the ioy waters. Double-crested Cormorants flap ungracafully by. A pair of splendid Bold-headed Eagles, which nest near- by on Newport Mountain, as well as many Ospreys, are frequent visitors; and the harsh oroak of the Northern Raven is often heard. There seems to be an unchained hatred between the Gulls and the Eagles, the Gulls viciously chasing away their kingly rivals upon every occasion. I have never, however, -B- seen the Eagles interfere with the Ospreys, in the picturesque manner which our youthful naturall histories have taught us. on the contrary the larger birds appear shy, sluggish, and quite content to be left alone. But the autumn is the most exciting time to loiter on the beacm. with the first frosty nights come the sea fowl from their remote breeding places on the shore of Greenland or other uninhabited arotic fastnesses - Loons, from the high inland lakes, Kittiwake, Ring-billed, Bonapa te's, and great Black-backed Gulls; as well as Ducks innumerable of many varieties; while now and again the dark bullet-head of a seal, with his dog-like pathetic eyes, may be seen forging slowly through the oalm oold waters. The Bhore birds, too, are now returning - Solitary and Semi-palmated Sandpipers, and Yellowlegs, with an occasional rarer sojourner. As in the spring, although in even more concentrated fashion - with the intervals less spread apart - successive waves of migration sweep down the coast, lured by the mountain landmarks of the island as by a mighty beacon, near which they assemble and from which they take their departure for the long southward journey. Upon moonlight nights the wild ory of the Great Northern Diver, or the grating call of his emaller cousin, the Red-throated Loon, drifts woirdly from the bay. The cackling and splashing of hundreds of Scottrs is heard in the offing, mingled with the yelping of Old-Squaws and the quacking of Black Ducks and Mergansers. Various species of the small Grebes bob up and down close to the rooky shores; long strings of gloomy looking Cormorants trail to their roosting places on the steep oliffs of the nearby islands; Great Blue Horons flap majestically across the waters; and more rarely, a splendid wedge of Wild Geese goes hurtling across the sky. The sea, even in its mildest aspects, always possesses something of fascination and mystery, but upon a clear autumn day, upon this rooky northern ooast, it has a populous wildness that bringe vividly to mind the wonderful natural conditions which must have oxisted during the long centuries before the white man, like a destroying angel, had set foot upon this virgin shore. What, alas, would the naturalist not give for some occult retrospective clairvoyance like Peter Ibbetson's - to oall up, in aotual vision, the wild splendour of those bygone years! Birds by the thousand, where now there are but scores! Wild Turkeys, Passenger Pigoons, and Pinnated Grouse flooking through the forests; The Great Auk, the early Murres, Tuffins, Guyllemots, and Rasor-billed Auks, upon the rocks; Eiders, Labrador Ducks, and Canvas Backs floating in the bay. Inshore, too, the autumn is, in many ways, the most interesting time for observation. At this season, bird life is not only abundant and concentrated, but - brought as by counter currents - stray individuals ocoasionally wander far from their native haunts in South or Weet. Last September a Blue-gray Gnat-oatcher, with his long tail and quaint call, flitted about the birches for several days, although he is a rare bird even as far south as New Jersey; and, in the fall of '13 I saw a pair of White-eyed Vireos - a bird of whose range Massachusetts is considered the northern limit. In September, also, come the Gray-checked and Bioknell Thrushes, restless and quiet, keeping to the dense undergrowth or deep woods; the Yellow Palm and Wilson's Warblers. Chicadees, Nuthatcher and Creepers which have seemed BO Boarce during the warmer weeks, seem suddenly to be everywhere; Hawks of various kinds oircle high against the glittering northwest- wind sky, and Nature's compass points South again. By October the great rush is over, and the strict- ly warm weather birds linger only in rare groups or couples, tempted by the gentle spell of early Indian Summer. Towards the end of the month, however, the vanguard of the hardy winter migrants. drifts in, usually upon a frosty morning, bringing with it one knows not what of strange northern atmosphere. They come quietly enough, these sturdy visitors - Redpolls, White-crowned Sparrows, Crossbills, and Pine Grosboaks with their tame, parrot-like ways - but upon their ooming the whole background of the countryside changes. The mountains take on a stornor outline, the heavens grow more remote, the -9- stars at night have a steely glitter, and the distant Arotic with its overlasting snows Beems suddenly to grow menacingly near. These great seasonal changes, BO succinctly epito- mised by their characteristic bird life, always fill me with fresh awe, and it should scarcely be a source of wonder that the ancients doified them, and payed reverence with appropriate and solemn ceremonial. They are the by-yearly systole and diastole of Earth's mighty heart, and have always something of the splendour possessed by Nature's major yyhms. The winter birds, too, are unquestionably more sociable. in every vey than the summer residents, and conse- quently more easy and interesting to observe. They are soarcer, appeal more to the primordial hunting instinct, and show up. more among the evergreens and bare branches than the multitudes that were SO lately busied with the absorbing oares of nest building and infant feeding. They seem more human, and the individual differences among them stand out more clearly. one gots intimate with oertain bird personal- ities, peculiarities of voice or plumage, quaint tricks of manner, and fanoies that a sufficient number of birds possess- ing these peculiarities - sequestered in some way from the rost of the species - would result, after no long period, in starting a fresh variety with quite now characteristics. A few score of individuals like my Black-throated Hummingbird breeding every summer in this 0001 and cloudy northeastern corner of their range, and conceivably wintering in some sim- ilarly temporate corner of Central America, might well in time lose the already restricted tropical brillianoe of their ruby feathering, and become really "blaok-throated" altogether. It may be pure fancy, also, but the Song Sparrows here Beem larger, darker, and fuller voiced than their representatives in the Central States. If there really be an Acadian variety, the moister, less sunny olimate might well account for it, especially as the birds which breed so far north presumably winter also further north than the majority of their species, and are thus subjected to less marked conditions of heat and dryness throughout the year. A perpetually puzzling question to the bird lover is the notable difference in the abundance of oertain species from year to year. Last season the Red-eyed Vireos were as common and noisy as the Robins; this summer they are Boarce. On the other hand, Nashville Warblers may be found upon almost every bush whereas a year ago they were decidedly infrequent, yet both of these birds are listed as "oommon summer residents" in this vioinity. Have some of the many undiscoverable vioissitudes which beset our migrants actually decreased the numbers of the one species, while augmenting the ranks of the other? Still another pussling faot is the persistent tarrying of certain individuals long after their companions -11- have left. There are always a few Robins who linger into early winter, and a handful even pass the whole cold-weather season near the coast. An occasional Song Sparrow or Myrtle Warbler is-sometimes found in the midwinter months, and three years ago a brave Phoebe stayed until the end of October. What keeps these rare stragglers SO late and makes them seem entirely contented in their unseasonable surroundings? IB it that here again we are confronted with a problem of in- dividual differences, and that the real explanation is possibly psychological? DO certain of these bird personalities actually profer oold weather or localities to which they have become attached even at the cost of soanty food supply and other physical discomforts? It is easily to be seen how many probleme lie waiting to be solved even among the species of birds which congregate within the narrow boundaries of BO limited an area as Old Farm. Well as we seem to know our feathered friends, yet their arrivals and departures, the peculiarities and life histories of individuals, the real motives which determine their varied activities - of all these we possess, as yet, but the most superficial knowledge; and even more than the winds of heaven now, their ooming and going is still veiled in mystery. And this mystery, typified so picturesquely by. the birds with their charming ways and marked personalities, yet conspicuously shared by all that grows and dies - the -12- short-lived summer bloom, the ago-long forest giant, the ephemeral May Fly and the slowly wasting hills - all this seems conoretely and especially to brood over old Farm. It all seems conoentrated in this single oorner of the illimit- able universe, the past, in its unimaginably anoient rooks; the present, in its varied environment of hill and shore and ocean; and all that is yet to come, symbolized in the promise of its abundant and diversified organio life. The mountains and the sea, the upper air, the meadow and the forest, and the man-made garden, with their characteristic inhabitants; the beauty, the interest, and the tragedy of life, all are here. And although all may equally be found elsewhere, yet somehow it stands here more clearly out in its profound contrasts, in the fathomless purple shadows on the mountain Blopes, the burnished steel of the sky, the slow surge of the sea upon a Summer night. - Henry Gano Eno.

Mr. Dorr being unable to raise the funds at that time saw Mr. Henry Lane Eno who agreed to take title in his name for the Park or Reservatic ons, and to give & note and mortgage to raise the necessary funds. It was agreed that as soon as the mortgage was paid the pronerty should be conveyed to the Park or Reservations. Copies of the correspondence between Mr. Eno and myself are attached hereto. In the Spring of 1920 title was taken and mortgage given, but not paid at the time of the death of Mr. Eno. The fact that Mr. Eno held title to the lot for the Park or Reservations, subject to the payment of the mortgage, did not annear in his will. Under the e ighth clause of Mr. Eno's will all the rest, residue, etc. passed seven-eighths to his widow, and one-eighth to his son, Amos. Soon after Mr. Eno's death a trade was made to transfer the lot to Mr. Dorr, and $2,250.00 was agreed upon as being the amount that would emply compensate Mr. Eno's Estate. During the later part of 1929 deeds were pre- pared and executed by the widow, by Amos Eno and by Arthur Train (one of the executors) and then forwarded to the other executor in New York for Execution. This was there either Later another deed was executed by Amos Eno, delivered to Mr. Dorr. Further deeds were some time ago drafted for the #idow's execution, the widow being now Mrs. Flora Mary Talbot Napier Eno Mitford, wife of Runert Mitford. Mrs. Mitford has, to my knowledge, never refused to sign the deed but to date we have not received it.

Eno and his wife, Lucy Jane Phelps Photo Albums Eno. In 1867, at nine years old, he was struck by the total confusion he witnessed in New York City caused by Books for Sale snarled traffic. He later wrote, "That very first traffic jam (many years before the motor car came into use) will always remain in my memory. There were only about a dozen horses and carriages involved, and all that was Donations needed was a little order to keep the traffic moving. Yet nobody knew exactly what to do; neither the drivers nor the police knew anything about the control of traffic." Directions Everyone who ships or receives goods or who travels by foot or any type of conveyance - on land, water or in Contact Us the air - owes thanks to Mr. Eno. He was the original architect of traffic regulations and transportation engineering that shaped the rules that now govern the movement of people and goods in small towns and large Member Signup cities throughout the world. He pioneered a plan for a New York subway, became involved in maritime activities, was a strong supporter of railroad development, and in the early 1920s launched research on the future of aviation. Mr. Eno developed and led the fight for most of the traffic-flow innovations we now take for granted, including: Right hand driving Systems of shared intersections One-way traffic circles One-way streets Traffic lights Traffic signs Pavement marking Regulations against jaywalking Taxi stands Off-street parking Driver's licenses Vehicle registration Traffic tickets Mr. Eno's influence around the world was profound. For example, he preferred rotaries to stop signals as the best way to keep traffic flowing. This concept of his strongly influenced the building of Piccadilly Circus in London and the rotary around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government after World War I because his traffic system allowed the French to speed 60,000 troops to Verdun to halt the German advance toward Paris and turn the tide of the war. Later Mussolini dictated that Italy would adopt Eno's traffic control system. Germany modeled its autobahn on his idea of a national network of superhighways and this, in turn, influenced the building of the U.S interstate highway system.

SIMSBURY Genealogical and Historical Research Library Volume 17 Issue 2 Summer 2010 The Eno Family From Their Origins in France to the Present Part I: The Late Middle Ages to the Early 19th Century The first of this two-part series is taken verbatim from "The Eno Family and Reminiscences of Abigail Eno Ellsworth." This unpublished typescript of records compiled by Mrs. Ellsworth between 1940 and 1947 has been donated to the Simsbury Free Library by Jackson F. Eno. Mrs. Ellsworth (1879 -1964) was Mr. Eno's great aunt. In the second part of the series, Mr. Eno will recount the stories and records that he has compiled about his family. Origin of the Eno Family The following records were compiled by Henry Lane Eno, Professor at Princeton University. 1 The name is spelled variously - Henne, de Henne, Hennot, Henno and later in America Eno, Enos. It was not spelled Eno until about 1700. Some of James Enno's descendants still spell the name Enos. The first of the name of whom we have authentic record was Collard Henno of Mons, Capitol of the Ancient [county] of Hainault, Belgium, whose presence at the reception of Burghers in Valenciennes, France, is given in the Registry of Burghers of that city, Feb. 7, 1463. 2 These records are supported by the Threadneadle Street Church Records, published by the Huguenot Immigration Society of London and extracts from documents relating to the Huguenot immigration of the 16th and 17th centuries in the British Museum. The Henno Coat of Arms following, are certified by the Public Librarian at Valenciennes, and by the aldermen on April 6, 1903, and stamped with the seal of the Public Library, seal of the City and the seal of the French Government: "Azure, a chevron argent, two estoiles d' or in chief, crescent argent in point." Jacques Henne, son of Collard Henno married (-) Pesquier. She was the daughter of Nicholas Pesquier, Bailiff of Gand. Gand is French for Ghent. He is given as father-in-law of Jacques Henne in the will of Pesquier's nephew Francois Pesquier.

Her records, along with those of Henry Lane Eno, gave us the full story of the earliest recorded lives of the family as they moved from France/Belgium to England and finally to America in 1648. We ended with Jonathan and Mary Eno who were the first in the family to settle on the family farm which they bought from John Case in 1774. This house still stands at 12 Eno Place. The farm stayed in the family for five more generations - from father to son - until it was sold in 1960. In this article we will follow the owners of the farm as well as the branch that left Simsbury and became known as the "New York branch." " Jonathan and Mary Eno had nine children. The two we will follow are Chauncey, who became a deacon of the Congregational Church, and Salmon. Deacon Chauncey Eno (December 19, 1782 - January 13, 1845) Chauncey Eno was the eighth child and upon the death of his father in 1813, he bought the homestead and farm from the rest of the heirs. Deacon Chauncey moved into the farm house with his family, which included his mother Mary until her death in 1834, his wife Amrille Case (February 12, 1788/9 - August 22, 1860) and their five children. They lived and worked as SO many of the farming families of the early 1800s. They were successful in this business and continued to enlarge the size of the farm with purchases of more acreage in the north end of Simsbury. Deacon Chauncey was a deeply religious man and very active in the affairs of the church - as implied by the Deacon title he used during his life and which is on his tombstone in Simsbury Cemetery. During his life he witnessed the construction of the third church building which replaced the second church, erected in 1743 but outgrown by 1830. His oldest son Elizur Hart Eno is said to have driven the About the Author Jackson F. Eno, a Simsbury native, has always been an avid collector of family histories and Simsbury memorabilia. He noted recently that he is fortunate to have had several great aunts who had lived with some of the people featured in his two-part article. When he was younger, they would tell him stories about Simsbury and their families. He drew upon his fond memories of those stories and his collections of pictures and writings for this brief account of some of the Simsbury and New York Enos. Mr. Eno has been involved with many not-for-profit organizations. Currently he is in his thirty-third year as president of the Simsbury Cemetery Association and he is the longest-serving board member of the Pinchot In- stitute for Conservation. He is also a director of the Simsbury Main Street Partnership. His professional career has been in banking and investments. He was the lead organizer and chairman of the organizing board of The Sims- Page 4 SGHRL Fall 2010 lived in Simsbury, did not wish to purchase the homestead from their brother - thus ending almost 200 years of Eno family ownership of this home. Salmon Eno (December 13, 1779 - April 3, 1842) Salmon Eno was the father of the New York branch of the family. He was the second son and seventh child of Jonathan and Mary (Hart) Eno. He was a member of the Connecticut Legislature in 1834. He lived first in Simsbury Free Library the house of Mr. Colton just east of the railroad near Hoskins Station, now Board of Trustees 14 St. John's Place. It was in this house that Amos Richards Eno was James P. Flynn born. Afterwards Salmon lived in the house which he bought from Joseph Chairman Humphrey, 987 Hopmeadow Street today. This house was later occupied Tara D. Willerup by his son Salmon Chester Eno, called Chester Vice-Chairman On June 2, 1805, Salmon married Mary Richards (September 29, Paul F. McAlenney 1785 - September 29, 1883) of New Britain, Connecticut. Salmon held Secretary many public offices during his lifetime: surveyor of highways, fence Martin Geitz viewer and lister, assessor, selectman, grand juror, visitor of schools, and Treasurer member of the board of relief. In 1840 Salmon and Mary moved to New Richard Schoenhardt Britain to the 100-acre Aaron Roberts' farm which Mary had inherited. In Mary Jane Springman 1844 (after the death of her husband) Mary deeded the Roberts farm to her Arthur House daughter and son-in-law, Emeline and Ozias B. Bassett. Mary then moved Thomas J. Donohue to a house on Washington Street in New Britain and was one of the most loved and honored persons in the town. Mary and Salmon had six children Melissa McKeen Emeline Eno Bassett, Aaron Roberts Eno, Amos Richards Eno, Salmon Richard D. Wagner Jr. Chester Eno, Mary A. Eno Humphrey and Lydia Jane Eno (Lewis) Barber. 7 Amos Richards Eno (November 1, 1810 - February 21, 1898) Amos R. Eno was a farmer boy on the home place until his sixteenth year, and his schooling was acquired altogether in his native town. At the age of sixteen, he went to Hartford, Connecticut, as a clerk where he learned the dry-goods trade. He returned to Simsbury and opened a store at Hoskins Station and did a thriving business. In 1833 he established the firm of Eno & Phelps in New York City with his cousin, John J. Phelps. The firm was successful and it was there that he laid the foundation of his eventual twenty-five million dollar fortune. In Simsbury on April 14, 1835 Amos Eno married Lucy Jane Phelps, daughter of Elisha and Lucy (Smith) Phelps. Lucy was born November 1, 1818. in Simsbury. Amos and Lucy settled in New York City. The partnership with his cousin was dissolved and he organized the firm of Eno, Mahony & Co. He began to purchase real estate and his interests in that direction became SO large that in 1857 he gave up the dry-goods business entirely. He was a daring buyer, but it was seldom that he made a venture which did not have a successful ending. In 1859 he conceived and put into operation the idea of building the Fifth Avenue Hotel, although it was considered at that time that the site was so far up-town as to render it impossible that a hotel there should pay. When the building was begun, it was generally known as Eno's folly. The risk was thought to be a tremendous one, but nevertheless the building was finally Fall 2010 SGHRL Page 5 Amos was one of the founders of the Second National Bank of New York, which had its offices on the first floor of the hotel. When in 1884 the announcement was made that the bank was about to fail on account of private speculations made by his son John C. Eno, its president, he prevented its failure by the payment of every obligation in full, amounting to over three million dollars. Most of this was from his personal funds, including a new mortgage on the Fifth Avenue Hotel. For many years he and Lucy lived in a house at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-Seventh Street. After the death of his wife's father, Elisha Phelps, he purchased her family's property on Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury. They spent their summers there when they were not abroad. He was always interested in the affairs of Simsbury, and was ever ready to give to any cause he considered worthy. He established and endowed the Simsbury Free Library. He bought a large farm and gave it to the town as a home for the town's poor. John S. Ellsworth (son of Lemuel S. Ellsworth and resident later in his life of Folly Farm) once recalled that, when he was growing up across the street from the Amos Eno home, he was involved in the formation of a baseball league in Simsbury. He needed funds to purchase equipment for this new game and his father suggested that he visit Amos Eno Photo courtesy of Jackson F. Eno for a donation. When he went to the Eno house, Amos R. Eno in front of 731 Hopmeadow Street he was escorted to a front sitting room where he Taken in 1890 on Mr. Eno's 80th birthday, this picture explained his need to Mr. Eno. The response shows the house just before his renovations and additions. was, "How much do you need?" The answer Later it was occupied by his daughter Antoinette Eno was, "Four dollars." J. S. Ellsworth then said Wood and it is now the Simsbury 1820 House. that Mr. Eno opened a drawer in a table that was filled with bills and removed the needed capital to found the baseball league. (Amos Eno was a natural student and keen observer, and taught himself through constant reading. Every hour not devoted to business was passed in study, which afforded him the greatest pleasure possible. The languages especially appealed to his taste, French and Italian being his favorites. He read French with great fluency.) Lucy died March 4, 1882, and in his later years he moved to Simsbury permanently. At that point extensive renovations transformed the old farm house, making it an elegant country retreat. Additions created more room for visitors and servants. The house would be further improved later when his daughter Antoinette took possession of the property after his death. Shortly before his death, Amos Eno established a New York City home at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Tenth Street, where he died February 21, 1898. 8 One of my favorite quotes from Amos is in his letter to the trustees of the Simsbury Free Library dated January 28, 1890, where he explains his gift of the library to the people of the Town of Simsbury.

Henry Lane Eno Tells Court Money Is Needed to Educate His Children. Professor Henry Lane Eno, who is engaged 111 research work at Princeton University, and was one of the success- ful contestants of the will of his uncle, Amos F. Eno, who died in October, 1915, leaving an estate of nearly $10,- 000,000. filed a petition in the Surro- gates' Court yesterday for an allowance of $50,000 from the estate pending the decision on the appeal from the judg- ment setting aside the will. The petition showed that although Professor Eno inherited a fortune under the will or ms father, Henry Clay Eno, the estate was largery invested in the Fifth Avenue Building which has not been a paying venture.

ENO FOUND INSANE BY ANOTHER JURY New York Times (1857-Current file); Feb 17, 1922; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 2001) pg.1 ENO FOUND INSANE 2/17/20 BY ANOTHER JURY Columbia and Other Institu- tions Will Lose Large Sums if Ruling Is Upheld. DECISION AFTER TEN HOURS New Appeal Will Be Taken- Heirs Gain $5,000,000 by Upset of Document. Amos F. Eno was declared last night to have been insane by the jury be- fore Surrogate Foley that has been hearing for the last seven weeks the suit of his heirs to break his will made three months before his death in September, 1915, on the ground that he was of un- sound mind. The jury, which is the second to de- clare that Mr. Eno was irrational when he gave only half his $13,000,000 estate to his heirs and the other half to pub- lic institutions, the bulk of which went to Columbia University, deliberated about ten hours. An appeal will be taken to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, which set aside the ver- diet of the first jury In 1916 on the ground that while the evidence at the first trial showed that Mr. Eno was ec- centric It did not reveal mental inca- pacity to make a will. If the will is upheld on the second appeal, Columbia will lose about $5,000,- 000, while gifts of $250,000 each to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History and the Association for Improving the Con- dition of the Poor will fall, and the New York Public Library will lose the gift of $50,000 and Mr. Eno's books. The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen got $1,500,000 in the will, but was also remembered in previous wills, all of which gave nearly the en- tire estate to Mr. Eno's heirs at law. The heirs who will get about $10.- 000.000. instead of the $5,000,000 be- queathed in the will, if the Surrogate refuses to set aside the verdict and the higher courts uphold it, are William P. Eno, brother, and Mrs. Antoinette Wood, sister, both of whom are child- less: Miss Mary Eno and Mrs. Flor- ence Graves, daughters of the deceased brother, John C.

Amos R. E. Pinchot and Lady Alan Johnstone, whose mother was Mr. Eno's sister. and their children. The heirs. through their trial counsel, Max D. Steuer, based their allegations of incompetency on the fact that be- fore he made his last will Mr. Eno ex- pressed dislike of all colleges and es- pecially of Columbia University and Its President, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, and that through the undue influence of Lucius H. Beers. who had been his attorney, and the late William Mitchell, both of whom were Columbia graduates and friends of Dr. Butler. they were named as executors and the butta of the estate went to Columbia. The trial began on Jan. 3. Surrogate Foley in his charge vesterday pointed out that the Appellate Division in re- versing the previous verdict breaking the will ruled that the only question to be decided was whether Mr. Eno had mental capacity to make a valid will on June 18, 1915. Surrogate Foley assured the jury that he had formed no opinion himself as to the facts in the case bear- ing on Mr. Eno's mentality. He advised them to consider the testimony by the allenists on the hypothetical questions only as it might fit the condition of Mr. Eno as disclosed in the testimony. Surrogate Foley reserved decision on application by Clarence J. Shearn to set asido the verdict on the ground that it was against the weight of the evidence.

Message Page 1 of 1 Epp, Ronald From: Epp, Ronald Sent: Monday, September 26, 2005 10:28 AM To: "AMCpublications@outdoors.org" Subject: Enos Family & Bar Harbor Dear Madeleine, As an AMC member for nearly twenty years, I have been much impressed by "Outdoors" and been especially drawn to the archival pieces about the first decades of the AMC that have been featured in recent years. For five years I'm been involved in my own archival work for a biography of George Bucknam Dorr (1853-1944), founder and first superintendent of Acadia National Park--and the donor of the AMC land at Echo Lake on Mount Desert Island. You may not be aware of the fact that one of Mr. Dorr's closest associates was Henry Lane Eno who achieved undesired notarity when he and Gifford Pinchot were at the center of a decade long process of contesting the will of Amos Eno. The New York Times published lengthy accounts of the phases of this legal battle over how the 13 million doillar will should be interpreted. Without getting into all these details, I wondered whether you were descended from this family line. As you likely know, Bar Harbor in the first two decades was the site for a most celebrated mix of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia's "best" families, and Mr. Eno provided considerable assistance to Mr. Dorr in his efforts to accumulate land that would in 1916 become Sieur de Monts National Monument and three years late Lafayette (renamed Acadia in 1929) National Park. In years past your librarian (Ms. Moore) and I talked of the evolution of Echo Lake Camp. Reflecting on the possible association you might have with the Eno Family of Mr. Dorr's acquaintance, I wondered whether "Outdoors" have any interest in a small historical piece on its early years. I appreciate this consideration. Ronald H.

It sounds like something our readers would be intrigued by--I forwarded it (with a strong push) to our new Executive Editor Ed Winchester for his consideration. He now edits the Flashback column. And I checked with my father to make sure, but we are, unfortunately, of a different line of Enos than Amos and Henry. Ours is French (Hinault) and theirs, I believe, is British. Dad said Amos built and owned the 5th Avenue Hotel in NYC, though. Very interesting! The french Enos were busy with far less lucrative pasttimes. :-) I also wanted to say that if you ever need any background on Lowell history or any industrial revolution era goings-on, my father might be a good resource. He's written and contributed to a few books, and is just south of you in Westford. He's 81 now, but still quite a profound keeper of New England historical facts He's Arthur L. Eno at 987-692-5483 if you ever need. I'll check back in with Ed to see what he's thinking about your query--and thank you so much for thinking of AMC Outdoors with this piece.
