In March of 1942 Bud enlisted in the Navy. On July 5th, 1942 Bud married Roselee Kerdolff and immediately left for St. Louis having been assigned to the Zone Intelligence Office with the rank of Yeoman 2nd Class. In September of 1943 Bud was sent to Officer Train- ing School at Northwestern Univer- sity in Chigago, Illinois and gradu- ated with the rank of Ensign.

During his ten year ownership, the bank prospered and a new building was erected. The Bank of Louisburg was the first in Miami County to in- stall a computer system for opera- tions. Joe Towne, then editor of the Louisburg Herald newspaper, said this about Bud; "Ennis has done, and attempted to do, more for this community in the past twelve years than any other single individual."
