Former Shelbyville Druggist, 72, Succumbs; Rites Here Today
"Charles C. Ensminger, age 72, well-known former Shelbyville resident and business man, died Saturday at his home in Jacksonville, Florida, where he had resided for several years."
"Death came suddenly and unexpectedly. Mr. Ensminger was born on January 21, 1868, in Liberty township, the son of John and Louisa Hubbard Ensminger, pioneer residents of Shelby county. On August 5, 1896, he was married to Miss Mertie Sutton, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy Sutton, who survives."
"Mr. Ensminger was engaged in the real estate business while in Florida. Survivors, besides the widow, include four nephews and two nieces, Brady Meltzer of Liberty township, Ernest E. Waggoner, of Newport News, Virginia; Ira McKay and Wallace Ensminger, both of Shelbyville; Mrs. Jesse McKay Griffey, of Shelbyville, and Mrs. Sheldon (Pearl) Haymond, of Waldron."

LOCAL AUTOMOBILIST BECOMES AN INVENTOR
Charles C. Ensminger Gets Patent On Device For Heating Machine
Waste Energy Turned To A Useful Purpose
Apparatus Is Practical One And Has Withstood Numerous Tests
Also For Motor Boats
"In the person of Charles C. Ensminger, Shelbyville has an inventor who has brought forth a device, which is sure to be eminently successful. Pending the issue of letters of patent, the Patent Office, has issued a caveat preventing anyone other than Mr. Ensminger or his agents from making or using the contrivance which his inventive genius has produced."
"As is well known to the residents of the city and county, Mr. Ensminger is one of our most enthusiastic automobilists, and it is in connection with this machine that the invention is intended to be used, although the patent, when issued, will include the right to use on motor boats."
"The subject of the patent is a heating apparatus, which operated successfully in utilizing wasted energy and turning it to a useful heating purpose, thus insuring the comfort of the occupants of the horseless carriage."
"The heat from the engine, which at present time is useless energy, provides the warmth. The muffler pipe is tapped and the heat conveyed to a sectional floor warmer which consists of a brass plate one inch thick, placed in the bed of the machine. Thru this plate the heat passes. The amount can be regulated as desired or cut off entirely by a small wheel in front of the chauffeur. This arrangement in no way affects the muffler or other parts of the automobile."
"Thoro tests of the efficiency of the device had been made. By putting up all curtains and 'by a simple twist of the wrist,' turning on the heat, the chauffeur and his companions can ride thru the stormiest weather with as little physical discomfort as if ensconced in the coziest nook of their own home. During zero weather the invention of Mr. Ensminger was given repeated trials and was found to be without fault."
"Mr. Ensminger has the device in use in his own machine and those of his friends to whom he has shown the merits of the invention can bear abundant testimony as to the perfection and reliability with which it works. Those which have been made up to the present time were manufactured by the Langsenkamph-Wheeler Brass Works, of Indianapolis. When placed on sale the device will sell for thirty-five dollars. It fills a longfelt want and will undoubtedly prove most popular. To Mr. Ensminger the Democrat wishes to extend its heartiest congratulations."
