 Had Been in Business at Same Location for Past Thirty Years; Son Survives
  "Ill for only a few hours, death came last evening at 9:45 to George W. Ensminger, grocer, and one of Shelbyville's most prominent business men. Mr. Ensminger had been in his usual health all day Friday, had appeared at his place of business in the morning, had attended the Shelby county fair in the afternoon, and had returned to his home to eat a hearty supper. Death was a result of angina pectoris brought on by digestive disorder. A sister, Mrs.Belle McCain and a brother, Charles C. Ensminger, were both with him at the time of his death."
  "Mr. Ensminger was born in Liberty township January 31 (sic), 1868, a son of John and Eliza (Louisa E.) Ensminger. At the time of his death, he was aged 62 years, seven months and four days. He had spent all of his life in Shelby county and had been in the grocery business in the 200 block of South Harrison street for the past thirty years. At the time of his death he was serving his second term on the advisory board of Addison township."
  MEMBER OF M. E. CHURCH

He was always a devoted member of the congregation and active in church work. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. and the Modern Woodmen of America lodges."
  "Thirty years ago Mr. Ensminger was united in marriage to Miss Emma Kinsley, who preceded him in death in 1920 (sic). Two children were born to this union, Wallace and Dorothy. The daughter was instantly killed in an automobile accident about a year ago. The son, recently associated with his father in business, survives, together with the brother Charles Ensminger, of Orlando, Florida, and three sisters, Mrs. Belle McCain, of Waldron; Mrs. Romaine Meltzer, of Liberty township, and Mrs. Hattie E.
