John and Elisabeth Enniss joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with hundreds of other members of the United Brethren in Herefordshire, England, in the early 1840s, and their conversion led them to emigrate to Utah. In 1849, with toddler Augusta Comfort Enniss and baby Susannah, they sailed from England and endured repeated losses, burying Susannah in New Orleans, Elisabeth's parents and uncle in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and losing their possessions when their Winter Quarters cabin burned. After arriving in 1851, they became one of Draper's original 20 families and played an important role in the town's early history. John was a successful farmer, school trustee, and leader in Draper's irrigation efforts, while Elisabeth cared for many people in her home and the family hosted community celebrations. Their family grew with sons John Heber and Willard Boulter and daughters Edith and Mary, who died young. Following church counsel, John married Jane Oakey, a survivor of the Willie Handcart Company tragedy; their first child, George Ralph, died in infancy, their daughter Rozilla Jane was born later, and Jane died soon after Rozilla's birth. John's mother, Hannah Park Enniss, who came to Utah in 1855, cared for Rozilla, who later married Joseph Daniel Wadley of Pleasant Grove and became a musician and mother of nine. Augusta married "Doc" Ruel Mills Rogers and raised twelve children. John Heber married Annie Garfield and was killed at age 28 in a dispute over water rights while another child was on the way. Willard Boulter Enniss, born in Draper in 1857, married Hannah Mary Emily Wadley in 1882 and became a major civic and church leader. He helped dig canals and ditches, was instrumental in incorporating Draper Irrigation Company, influenced early Utah irrigation laws, served as Justice of the Peace, taught school, served as a school trustee for 16 years, helped bring three schoolhouses to Draper, and served as Draper's third Bishop for 12 years, including a mission to England while Emily managed their home, farms, animals, and ten children. Elected to the Utah State Legislature in 1915, he served two terms, helped bring electricity to Draper, and supported a recreational park. After Emily died in 1924, W.B. later married Annie Huff, who had four children and adopted Leonard from her first marriage; Annie was also his secretary, a poet, reader, genealogist, talented writer, and later a proofreader for the University of Utah. Through sacrifice, public service, and community leadership, the Enniss family became deeply woven into Draper's history.
