Sutton. ***************************************** The Emporia Gazette, 30 May 1923, Wednesday ENOCH D. CHILDERS Enoch D. Childers, who lived with his father and mother on a farm north of town, had begged to join the arm(y) ever since the war "broke out." He was 15 in 1864--old a-plenty to be a soldier and his two older brothers had enlisted long before, and he guessed he was just as patriotic as they were. So tht year he enlisted in the 11th Kansas Militia. The Militia was called to the eastern border of Kansas and followed Price and his army from Paola to Fort Scott. Mr. Childers's company saw the battle of Mine Creek, but had no part in it. Also, these men saw the spectacle of Price's army of 30,000 men all at one time spread out on the open prairie. That was a great sight, says Mr. Childers. The 11th Kansas Militia was under fire at Cabin Creek, where 200 teams and wagons carrying supplies to the Indians at Fort Gibson, I.T., were seized by the Confederates. Mr. Childers's two brothers were in the army from '62 to '65, and none of the three received so much as a scratch. *************************************** The Emporia Gazette, 23 Apr 1928, Monday ENOCH CHILDERS DEAD Enoch Childers, 81, died Sunday evening at his home, 1531 North Merchant street.
