      ENOCH STAATS. Some of the many stanch friends of Enoch Staats, County Court clerk of Jackson County, recall him as a teacher and farmer in the county, though for the past dozen years his work has been at the county seat of Ripley either as deputy or head of the office of County Court clerk.

      Staats is one of the old and well known names of Jackson County. The founder of the family was Isaac Staats, who was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, in 1799, and as a young man moved to what is now Jackson County, West Virginia, and became owner and operator of a grist mill, long known in the geography of the county as Staats Mill. Though an old man at the time, he served as a member of the Home Guards during the Civil war. He died at Staats Mill in 1885. Isaac Staats married a Miss Tolley, who was born in that portion of old Mason County that is now Jackson County. Their son, William Staats, was born at Staats Mill in 1841, and chose farming as his vocation. He was reared and married at Staats Mill, but later moved to the vicinity of Ripley, and he owned and operated a large and prosperous farm four miles south of that town, where he died in 1914. He was a member of the Home Scouts during the Civil war, was an independent democrat in polities, and very closely identified with the Methodist Protestant Church. William Staats married Emily J. Casto, who was born at Staats Mill in 1847, and died at the home farm four miles south of Ripley in 1910. She became the mother of seven children: Cordelia, who died at Parchment Valley, Jackson County, in 1898, wife of Lovell M. Parsons, the well known Ripley farmer and banker; Avah B., who died at Fairplain, Jackson County, in 1900, wife of Jacob Post, now a retired farmer of that community; Louisa, wife of David C. Shamblen, a farmer at Fairplain; Hollie F., a farmer at Flatrock in Mason County; subject of this sketch; Dora, wife of C. L. Skidmore, a farmer at Skidmore in Jackson County; and Cora L., wife of Everett Simmons, a farmer at Kenna in Jackson County.

      Enoch Staats was born October 7, 1875, and grew up on the home farm south of Ripley. He attended rural schools there, the public schools at Ripley, in 1896 graduated from the Mountain State Business College at Parkersburg, and during 1897-98 attended the State Normal School at Glenville in Gilmer County. Mr. Staats began teaching at the age of eighteen. His work was altogether in the rural districts of Jackson County, where he taught a total of fifteen terms, devoting his time and energies in the intervals to farming. This phase of his career was concluded in 1909, when he was made deputy County Court clerk, and he served twelve years in that capacity, 1909-20. In 1920 he was chosen by election as County Court clerk for the six year term beginning in January, 1921.

      Mr. Staats is a republican, active in the Methodist Protestant Church, and has served as Sunday School super-intendent, and is affiliated with Ripley Lodge No. 16, A. F. and A. M., Ripley Lodge No. 30, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and Walker Wright Lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias. He is a stockholder and director in the Bank of Ripley, owns a farm of 275 acres four miles south of Ripley, on Mill Creek, and another farm of 600 acres four miles east of Ripley, on Sycamore Creek. His home is a fine suburban place, recently completed, on a choice tract of seven acres on the Charleston Pike.

      In 1899, at Ripley, Mr. Staats married Miss Allie Carney, daughter of William A. and Rosa (Wedge) Carney, a well known family living two miles east of Ripley. Mr. and Mrs. Staats have four children: William, born November 12, 1900, is a graduate of the Ripley High School, attended Berea College at Berea, Kentucky, and is now teaching at Salt Hill in Jackson County; Delbert born December 28, 1903, is a graduate of the Ripley High School and a teacher at Tracefork; Russell, born in 1906, and Corinne, born in 1910, are students in the public schools at Ripley.
