FENNER, CORNELIUS, farmer and stock-raiser, P. O. Plymouth; was born in Tompkins Co., N. Y.; April 11, 1831; the family came West when Mr. Fenner was but 1 year old, landing in New Haven, Ohio. One year after this, his father, Mr. Felix Fenner, bought the present farm, there being but half an acre cleared and a small log house, he building the present house and the old barns on the homestead, consisting of 122 acres. Mr. Fenner died in November, 1856. Soon after his death, his son, Mr. C. Fenner, took charge of the farm, and now, together with what he has added to it and improvements made, makes it a premium farm. Mr. Fenner lived in Iowa four years, and came back after the death of his father. In 1863, he bought the farm, which is situated on the Columbus State road, one-half mile from the Huron Co. line. His principal farming is grain raising, and he raises and keeps stock enough to be profitable, and it is safe to say that Mr. Fenner is one of the first men in the county, and of good business principles. Ida has served a number of terms each as School Director and Supervisor. Was married, Dec. 29, 1863, to Miss Sarah A. Sheeley ; they have three children-Frank C., born Jan. 8,1868: Anna Bertha, Nov. 6, 1870; Charlie W., Dec. 22, 1873. Mr. Fenner's mother now lives with him; she is nearly 87 years old, and very active and smart for a person of such advanced years. Mr. Fenner has one of the finest barns in the country. It is finished up in good style, and has all the modern improvements ; he has storage for 1,500 bushels of grain, with nearly all the conveniences that a well-informed man could make. The building is 40x66 feet, with stabling under the whole building, with "shoots " for grain and bay, so that his feeding can be done without going out of the stable ; he has every facility for keeping stock, as his farm abounds with living water and a "spring-fed " creek. The farm now, with what he has added to it, makes it 153 acres of the choicest kind of land. (From: BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES: PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP . BEELMAN, M. B.)
