Biographical History

Eva Eno was born in 1878 in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The daughter of Jonathan S. and Katherine (Applegate) Walling, she was raised in Colorado, where she was educated at Wolfe Hall. In 1897, she married Alfred Joseph Eno. Their only child, Ralph Bovingdon Eno, died June 10, 1908, at the age of eight. She was a member of the 1912 women's law class at New York University. Eno was chairman of the Woman Suffrage Party of Queens Borough (1912-1914); chairman of women workers, Queens Borough, National Progressive Party; member and corresponding secretary of the Woman's Press Club of New York City; member of the Portia Club of the City of New York; member and officer of the Woman Citizens' League of New York State; publisher of The Queensboro Equality, a broadsheet advocating women's suffrage; and organizer of eighteen women's clubs in the Borough of Queens. In addition, she was a consumer advocate and worked for the reform of schools and prisons. After the stock market crash in 1929, the Enos' fortunes declined; Eva Eno later ran a school and an employment agency on Long Island. She died in 1961.
