He died in a boating accident, drowned while duck hunting with his brother - boat turned over and he tried to swim to shore instead of allowing current to take boat into shore as did his brother.

Pam Wagner's grandfather. "I don't know much about my grandfather. His death certificate says that he was a machinist and that he was in WWI. Family stories say that he was one of Gen. Pershing's drivers (I have sent for his military record). I know that from 1923 to 1936, Alford P. Ennis and his wife, Effie,were listed in the Oklahoma City directories. I know that at least by 1928/29 he could fly a plane--he probably worked on them, too, since he was a mechanic. By 1937, they had returned to Hopkinton and five years later he was dead."
