Biography
An obituary from the Harrisburg Telegraph, 24 Apr 1900 reads: "Philip Ensminger. Phillip(sic) Ensminger, grandfather of Mrs. Edward Runkel, of this city, died at his home at Middletown on Sunday, aged 71 years. He had been a resident of the latter place for twenty-five years. In addition to a wife he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Lee H. Schaeffer, of Lansdale, and the following brothers and sisters: George, Carlisle; James and Harry, Kansas City; Mrs. Elizabeth McGrew and Mrs. Marcus Craber (sic), Corry."
Note the switched spelling of Philip between the heading and text, and mention of James Ensminger, which confirms that he's a brother, though James is left out of some lists. Craber is presumably Craver, see Jane (Ensminger) Craver.
