daughter of Obadiah and Mary (Harris) Brown, a descendant of Chad Brown, one of the most prominent pioneers of Rhode Island.

(VIII) Captain William Bowen Fenner, son of James Aldrich Fenner (7), was born in Glocester, Rhode Island, March 16, 1822. He was brought up on the farm in Coventry, Rhode Island, and received his early education in the old red school house of his district. At the age of twenty he left home to become clerk in the general store owned by his uncle, Wil- liam Fenner, at Sterling, Connecticut, and worked there six years. He then engaged in the grocery business on his own account in Mllbury, Massachusetts, and continued until 1857, when he went west ; and, drifting to St. Louis, he was fortunate enough to secure a
situation in the large store of Plant Brothers, importers and wholesale and retail dealers in seeds and makers of agricultural implements, etc. He remained with that firm ten years, re- ceiving a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars a year. After the first year he had entire charge of the clerical force, consisting of a dozen or more, and the following year he traveled for the firm as salesman, making the trip of thirteen hundred miles to Omaha on horseback. At the end of ten years his health became impaired, and he took a year of rest at home in New England, returning afterward and working another year for the same firm in St. Louis. In 1868 he resigned and re- turned to Massachusetts. Mr. Fenner estab- lished himself in business in Boston as a re- tail dealer and jobber of boots, shoes, etc., continuing until 1878, when he came to Ayer as a commercial salesman for Marston & Sawyer. Soon afterward he engaged n the manufacture of furniture on his
own account at Ayer. In 1883, .in company with C. C. Wood, Charles H. Ware, C. F. Bruce and Wilson Smith, all of Ayer, he organized the Ayer Furniture Company, and became the treasurer of the company and general manager, while the other partners worked in the factory in various de- partments. The firm carried in a very suc- cessful business for some years, employing thirty-five or forty men, and making a special- ty of chamber furniture for the New York and New England trade. The business continued until he retired in 1893 when the firm was dissolved and the business ceased. Since then he has devoted himself to the care of his property without active business interests.
Since living in Ayer Captain Fenner has taken an active interest in town affairs, serv- ing several years on the board of selectmen ; has also been overseer of the poor for six years ; assessor six years; and commissioner of the sinking fund: and for three successive years one of the registrars of voters of the town. He was reared an old-line Democrat, but since about 1886 has been an independent Republican, often being sent as delegate to nominating conventions of the Republican party. Sixty years ago he became a Mason at Sutton, Massachusetts, and is a member of Olive Branch Lodge: also of Joseph Warren Commandery, Knights Templar, of Boston, since 1870. He was for twelve years, while in Boston, a member of the First Battalion of Volunteer Cavalry, Company D. Roxbury Horse Guards, and rose through the various ranks until he held a captain's commission. He

was a member of the Unitarian church and active in its support, holding various offices and positions in the society. He married, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, December 26, 1858, Sarah Ellen Burr, born at Rehoboth, Massachusetts, daughter of Newton Burr, a machinist, and Marsha Howe (Prouty) Fen- ner, a native of Spencer, Massachusetts. Cap- tain and Mrs. Fenner have had no children.
(VIII) Arthur Fenner, son of James Ald- rich Fenner (7), was born in Coventry, Rhode Island, July 11, 1830. He had a common school education. He left home at the age of eighteen years to work for the Providence & Worcester Railroad Company. For five years he worked in various positions, then went from this railroad to the freight depart- ment of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railway Company for a year and a half. In 1857 he came to Ayer, as bookkeeper for the Ames Plow Company, retaining this position until 1876, when he went to Boston as an agent of the Plow Company, having charge of its business and of the two hundred and fifty men in its employ. This important position he held until the business was removed to Worcester about seven years later. In 1881 he embarked in the insurance business, suc- ceeding George E. Underwood, who had es- tablished his office in Ayer about 1874. He has more than doubled the business, having the agency for eighteen companies. In poli- tics Mr. Fenner is a Jacksonian Democrat. He was town clerk some years, and nine years on the board of water commissioners, having been influential in procuring the introduction of a water system in the town. In 1859, when Ayer was still part of the town of Groton, he was made a Mason in old St. Paul Lodge, joining Caleb Butler Lodge the year follow- ing, and becoming master in 1876 and 1877. Of its charter members he is the only sur- vivor, with one exception. He is a life mem- ber of the American Unitarian Association, and for nineteen years was clerk of the Ayer parish of this society. He married Novem- ber 23, 1859, Emma A. Southwick, of North- bridge, Massachusetts. Children: I. Sarah Elizabeth, married Frank S. Bennett, of Fitch- burg, Massachusetts. 2.
