MCENANYVincent Francis McEnany, son of Mr. and Mrs . P.J. McEnany, of Adams township, died at the Great Lakes Naval hospital Friday evening, Sept. 27, 1918, at 6:15, following a siege of pneumonia by an attack of Spanish influenza. The young sailor was taken ill with influenza on September 21st. He fought bravely against the ravages of the disease and for a time it was believed that he would recover. After battling for several days, pneumonia developed, as is the case in so many instances, and he rapidly lost ground in the race for life. His parents were notified of his condition, and the father at once went to the boy's bedside. Mr. McEnany reached the hospital Friday noon, and was with his son when the end came.The remains were brought to the family home Sunday morning, and funeral services were held at the Catholic church at Ryan Monday morning. The services were largely attended. Many form Manchester and Greeley attended the services. Rev. Father John Malloy, formerly pastor of the Ryan church, but now at Waterloo, preached the funeral sermon, and spoke eloquently of the exemplary life of the young sailor, who was beloved by the people of Ryan and vicinity. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery south of Ryan.Vincent Francis McEnany was born at Coggon, Iowa, January 22nd 1895. He spent practically all of his life on the farm. For some time he was manager of the Standard Oil Company's station at Greeley, and later held the same position for the Standard Oil company at Independence. He disposed of his interests at Independence last summer in order to enter the service of the government. His ambition to serve his country prompted him to enter the navy. He was at first prevented from doing so because of physical reasons. In order to gain admittance he submitted to a very serious operation at Dubuque and during this ordeal he nearly lost his life. After recovering from the operation, he again applied for admission to the navy, and on July 12, 1918, he was accepted, and entered the Great Lakes Station. He at once applied himself to the task of a sailor with the same determination that characterized his whole life, and was making an enviable record in the training station. During the big war exhibit in Chicago Mr. McEnany was honored by being assigned guard at the main entrance and was scheduled to accompany the exhibit in the capacity of guard to New York City. At about the time he was to leave Chicago, he was stricken ill with influenza.Mr. McEnany is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. McEnany, the latter of who is the only sister of Sheriff J. J. Pentony of this city. He is also survived by five brothers and four sisters. These are Peter E. McEnany of Bowdie, South Dakota; Mrs. J. E. McElligott, of Ryan; Earl McEnany, orderly in the United States hospital at Ft. Des Moines; Albert L. McEnany at home but awaiting the call in the next draft; Madge A. Elden, Joseph, Anna and Mabel, all at home.Mr. McEnany's death comes as a crushing blow to the family and large circle of friends. His untimely death has again brought home the grim realities of the horrors of war which Prussian barbarism has turned loose on an innocent world. Although prevented from participation in the deadly conflict that is now going on in Europe, Vincent McEnany has served his county well, and has made the supreme sacrifice in order that Democracy may triumph.The sympathy of many friends goes out to the family in their great loss.Manchester Democrat - Manchester, Iowa - October 2, 1918
