When a young man he was married to Christine McDonald of North Easthope and they continued to reside in Wellesley until moving to Elmira. He was a consistent member of the United Church and seldom missed attending Sunday service.

The remains of Mrs. Fenton, nee Cassia Ballard, whose death took place at her home in Conestoga last Friday, after a lingering illness, of several months, were interred here on Monday afternoon, in the Methodist cemetery, the family burying ground. She was well known in this community and was of a kind and loving disposition. The funeral was one of the largest seen for some time.
