Mrs. Fenton was bout 64 years old and has lived in Plymouth county for about twenty-two years, the family coming here from England in the early eighties when a large English colony was established in northwestern Iowa. She leaves besides the bereaved husband, five sons and two daughters.

The remains were shipped from Colorado Springs to this city for interment arriving here last night and the funeral will be held this morning at 10 o’clock at St. George’s Episcopal Church.
