Enoch Saunders Studley was the son of Walter D. and Edith R. Studley, of South Ohio, NS.
He enlisted in Halifax with the 85th Battalion. Repeated colds led to fatal pneumonia with accompanying
pleurisy and after five weeks of illness, Private Studley died on February 5, 1916 in the Military Station
Hospital, Halifax.
His funeral was held at the United Baptist Church in South Ohio on Wednesday, February 9, 1915. The body
had been accompanied from Halifax by Private Percy M. Hatfield, Army Medical Corps. (Percy Hatfield would
be wounded at Vimy Ridge.) Private Donald Morine (64th Battalion) also from South Ohio was home on leave
and attended the funeral. Donald’s stepmother mother, Mrs. Osborne L. Churchill composed a poem that was
read at the service. He was buried in the Studley family plot, in the South Ohio Cemetery.
