Enock Hill Turnock

Enock Hill Turnock was an American architect, originally from England.

Enock was born on February 27, 1857, in London, England to Richard and Elizabeth Turnock. His father made several trips to America and in 1871 moved his family here. The family voyaged on the Cuba and after several weeks at sea they landed in New York City. After visiting with friends and relatives, they came and settled in Elkhart, Indiana in 1872. Enock Hill attended grammar schools in Elkhart as well as high school at the age of 15. It was once explained by Mrs. E.H. Turnock Jr., the origin of the spelling of Enock with a k rather than the common spelling with an h, she said, I have been told, that the London family had a son Enoch who died in infancy, but the parents like the name, and named their next son Enock, to distinguish him in family records. Enock was mostly known as E. Hill but his brothers called him Nock. E. Hill Turnock spent his early years in Elkhart, Indiana where he accepted employment with the Lakeshore railroad.
