MARTIN ENDERLIN, trustee of Scioto township, is a contribution from Germany to the citizenship of Chillicothe. His father, John Martin Enderlin, became involved in the revolutionary troubles of 1848 which resulted in a loss to Germany of many of its bravest men, like Carl Schurz, and the consequent benefit to the United States, as most of them sought refuge here. The elder Enderlin went so far as to raise a company of soldiers for the revolutionary cause, but, as his side was unsuccessful, he was forced to flee and in 1852 made the ocean voyage to this country. He located at Chillicothe, where in 1854 he was joined by his wife and eight children. He trade was that of a tailor, which he followed in Chillicothe for several years in connection with the grocery and saloon business. His death occurred July 16, 1897, his wife surviving him only a few months and dying November 18 of the same year. Five of their children are living and three of them are residents of Chillicothe. Augustus, the eldest of the sons, came over with his father in 1852 to avoid enforced military service in the German army, and died in this country July 1, 1860. Martin Enderlin was born in Germany, July 10, 1841, and was brought to this country by his mother when thirteen years old. As soon as he reached competent age he became an apprentice in the confectionery business and followed that for several years. In 1861 he joined Company A, Twenty-second regiment Ohio volunteer infantry, with which he served during his term of enlistment. After his discharge, Mr. Enderlin spent six months at Indianapolis and then went south, where he followed his occupation in various cities and states, from Kentucky to South Carolina. While at Nashville he was engaged in the three days’ fight between Hood and Thomas. In the latter part of 1865 he returned to Chillicothe, where he worked in a bakery for a year, subsequently spending a year each in Waverly and Jackson, Ohio, and finally settling at Chillicothe in the grocery business with his father. In 1871, he lived a couple of months in the Canadian city of Montreal, but not liking the prospects returned to the United States and spent the subsequent eight years at Oil City, Pa. Coming back to Chillicothe in 1879 he has since made his home in that city, engaged in various occupations. In 1885, Mr. Enderlin was elected city marshal of Chillicothe.
