Around Town

An Ennis man was elected to head Louisiana’s Anti-Saloon League in 1922. Dr. A. H. Ziemer was at that time a resident of New Orleans, having moved there from Ennis in 1913.

Ennis and surrounding towns were struck with an epidemic of infantile paralysis in 1937 but it was fairly quickly contained.

Another old timer’s memories made national news the same year. Frank Fowler, who claimed to be 109, had been a resident of Ennis for 85 years, since 1870, two years before the city was officially founded.

This week’s archival news items are again courtesy of newspapers.com as well as from a few original back issues of the Ennis Daily News on file at the Ennis Public Library.
