He taught briefly and served as assistant principal in the public schools and then in October of 1883, with a partner, he founded the Helena Commercial College and English Training School in Helena. The school met with skepticism at first but soon prospered and expanded into fields of music, art, the science of telegraphy as well as business practice. By 1898 the school had a faculty of about 60 teachers.
Professor H.T. Englehorn was honored by Iowa College in 1889 with the honorary Master of Arts degree.

She was unhappy with city living and with a cook who wouldn't let her in the kitchen. Emma was a great cook and had asked Herman, when she was cooking at the boarding house, if he could patent her mixes for pie crusts, biscuits and cakes. His reply was that every woman was proud of her own recipes and would not buy any others.

"The oldest living All-American, A football hero celebrates his 103rd birthday",
by Michael Bamberger, staff writer.
(From a local newspaper, January 21, 1993)
Wesley Theodore Englehorn - called Ted by the people who aid him and Moose by the few left who remember him as a football player - turns 103 today. He lives in Stapeley Hall, a three-story red-brick home for the elderly in Germantown that would look natural on the leafy campus of Dartmouth College, where he was all-American tackle.
Today there will be a small party for Moose Englehorn, who NCAA officials believe to be the oldest living all-American football player. A Dartmouth man will bring him a pennant and his daughter will come up from her home in Alexandria, VA. Yesterday he watched TV as Bill Clinton was sworn in office, the 19th president to span Englehorn's long life.
When he was born, on this date in 1890, Benjamin Harrison was President. When he arrived at Dartmouth in 1911 from his home in Spokane, Washington, William H. Taft was President. When he graduated, in 1914, Woodrow Wilson was President. In between, Englehorn compiled the sort of collegiate career that is unimaginable today.
According to Dartmouth alumni records, Englehorn was a tackle, a basketball player and a track star, too. He was the president of his class in his sophomore and junior years and president of the student government as a senior. He was also president of Casque and Gauntlet, a senior honor society.
Today he is a father, a grandfather and a great grandfather. He is also a retired civil servant, having been employed by the U.S. Government from 1935 until his retirement in 1960, working for the Department of Justice and the War Manpower Commission for the Navy.
Yesterday we talked about his long life.
`It's football that I remember best,' Englehorn said. `The teammates, the teamwork, one man can't do it by himself.'
Englehorn is a robust man who maintains his collegiate playing weight, 200 pounds, although he no longer stands over six feet. He has a fringe of white hair and smooth skin, and his blue eyes are magnified behind thick glasses. He wore a plaid sport coat, a striped necktie held in place by a clip in the shape of a slide rule, a white shirt that was loose at the neck, green corduroy pants, brown socks and black slippers. He has his own teeth and a firm grip.
He was asked: `Looking over your long life, is playing football the highlight?'
`Yeah, I'll say it was,' Englehorn said. `That was our game. I liked basketball. Couldn't play basketball - bum eyes. I liked track. Later I liked hunting and tennis. I played golf, I wouldn't call myself a golfer. But football was the main thing. Football was our game.'
After high school in Spokane, Englehorn attended Washington State University for a year and played football there. After his junior year at Dartmouth, he was elected captain for his senior year. But when he returned for his senior year, he was told he was ineligible to play, because of his year of collegiate play in Washington. He became an assistant coach instead.
The editors of the Aegis, the Dartmouth yearbook, praised Englehorn, writing that he `earned the admiration of every member in college and of all the followers of clean sport, by his manly acceptance and avowal of his ineligibility when he learned that he could no longer represent Dartmouth.'
Moose Englehorn was asked, `Was that disappointing for you, when you couldn't play football in your senior year?'
The old football man looked at his visitor through his thick lenses.
`I don't remember that. I thought I played football every year.' He paused and gathered a thought, `I can't remember not playing football,' he said.
Moose married Viola M. SNEAD, daughter of Stephen SNEAD and Mattie BRINKERHOFF, on 19 Aug 1915 in Chicago, Illinois. Viola was born 1 Dec 1888 in Dixon, California. She died 31 Oct 1978 in Springfield, Pennsylvania and was buried in Oakland, California.
