FENNER, FELIX ...., was born near Bethlehem, Penn., and raised a farmer; he located about 1813, on a small farm, and carried on blacksmithing; in 1825, moved to Lansing Township, Tompkins Co., N. Y., where he worked at his trade; in 1831, went to Ohio to look up a home for his already large family; he soon after returned, having been much encouraged by his visit, and in 1832 moved to Ohio, and soon after bought 122 acres of land in the woods, with a little log house on it, and about half an acre cleared. On Jan. 12, 1813, was married to Miss Elizabeth Trauger; they had twelve children, nine of whom are living. Mr. Fenner died Dec. 7, 1877 (note: probably 1857); he left a good farm with all good buildings and 75 acres cleared and fenced. He had filled many of the township offices in the gift of the people. He was quite a musician in his younger days, and at one time had the honor of being the organist in the large Moravian Church of Bethlehem, Penn (From the History of Richland County, Ohio, compiled by A.A.
