The first two stores built in East Enterprise were built by Daniel Heath JR a revolutionary war veteran from Mass.He built one for himself and one for his daughter angeline across the road where riemans store used to be She sold dresses and dry goods His father Daniel Heath came to America when he was young settled in Mass. where some of his 17 children were born. Daniel Heath who settled near East Enterprise donated the land for New Liberty Cemetery and his home place was the property where the oaks family used to live I think Riemans own it now

He then moved to the west of East Enterprise and started a town Allensville named after his son Allen William Heath who got killed in the war of 1812 East Enterprise had the first newspaper in the county ran by Daniel Heath who owned the first printing press. East Enterprise Had a really nice park at one time. The last living owner was Paul Dean Lockwood (Chocky) as he was called. He donated the land to the East Enterprise Fire Department The park was a home for many years to the East Enterprise Ohio County fair. Having upwards of 6000 visitors a day during the fair. The Heath GAR lodge building used to stand on the NW corner of the intersection in town it was torn down to make a parking lot. It was named after Daniel Heats son who died in the war of 1812 so east Enterprise has been here longer than Indiana has been a state lol A lot of the oldest houses are being bought by the amish and torn down and now the state will get the rest of the town due to HWY 101 being brought through it. A real shame so much history will be lost. There isa real estate developer trying to buy up everyones homes along the route of the Highway. I assume to get rich. I wish the state would go a little east of the town and preserve whats left of it It has a lot of history as does Allensville a very famous surgeon was from Allensville. There used to be a sign there telling about him. sources: Fred Lockwood Lifelong resident about 2/10s of a mile from the house he was born in and a history book in Rising Sun Library which now may be in the museum in Rising sun. Its a shame the county doesn’t seem to care about East Enterprise It has a lot of rich history as does Allensville Indiana also.

The very first post office in East Enterprise was also run by Danie Heath in part of the store across from Daniel Heaths store most recently was called Riemans grocery but used to be Angeline Heath Lockwoods dry goods store. Jennie Lockwood ran the store. Where S N S grocery is now used to be Brunners Hatchery and Fred Lockwood worked there as a young man long before there were social security taxes He and Opal A, Scudder were married July 28th 1915 and lived in the same house their whole married life of 73 years. It is a shame that all the old people are gone and so many city folk and amish are there now so it is quite different than it used to be. I wish the fire dept would open up the park again. It used to have 80 acres deemed a park Im sure it isn’t that big now, so you see East Enterprise was quite the place to be in its hey day. It used to have 3 drs in town Fred and opal borrowed Dr Jonas Halls buggy to go to Vevay for ice-cream on their wedding day. The Brown family used to have a feed mill out 250 a piece. It burnt down many years ago and was a meeting place for all the old farmers of the area. The little white house and big red barn just to the south of the water town belonged to Fred Lockwoods parents Oliver Perry and nez Ricketts Lockwood. It was moved there on logs by teams of horses from the sallie lockwood farm where I think the Johnsons own now There used to be a very nice home there but I think Mr Johnson tore it down when he bought the place many years ago The house on the north side of S N S Grocery was built by Samuel Lockwood many years ago it was the telephone exchange in the 60s then they built the new exchaned across from the park/fire dept. THERE USED TO BE A PLASTIC MOLDING PLANT CALLED pmc A lot of ppl fred knew worked there including his great great grandson. They have their stray animal shelter there now I was surprised since you can see the contaminated ground in aerial pictures of the site.

Fred Lockwoods great granddaughter wrote and book of poetry in 1974 It was called Truckstop Tales. It is out of print now . It was mostly love poetry. She was a good poet.
