MANUEL I. ENOS was born in 1853 in the Azores, and came to the U.S. with his mother in 1872, settling first near Freeport where he was one of the early day hop growers and later became roadmaster of Yolo County. In that position he was responsible for the building and maintenance of the early day levees.
Later he moved to Sacramento to enter the grocery business at 15th and Q Streets. With his two daughters and two sons working in the store, he made deliveries to Freeport via a toll road, beginning on Sutterville Road and weaving around the Pocket district. He retired in 1912....Portuguese Ancestry.com
