Fenner on the 1900 Census is that he died in 1892 and is buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery. Here is the link to the transcription: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/ceme-grovehill.html Fenner's in the transcription: Fenner, Infant b & d 15 Feb.1890 Fenner, Joe F. 1885-1952 Fenner, Joseph F. 20 Nov.1820-5 May 1896 Texas War of Independence Veteran member Shackford's Co.Col. Fannin Command 1836 Fenner, Mary wife of Joseph 17 Nov.1834-28 Nov.1914 Fenner, Robert H. 19 June 1857-4 Jan.1892 Fenner, William C. 24 Feb.1887-8 Sept.1888 Mary Fenner's (mother of Robert) Obit is on the site as well http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/obituaries13.html Abstracted from Bonham News" 8 Dec 1914: Grandma Fenner, formerly of Bailey, died at Commerce; Sat. age 80; services : Bailey Methodist church; Rev. J.A. Gaines and pastor; buried Grove Hill; husband Joseph F. Fenner dec'd; mother of 5; 2 survive her. (She was Mary Fenner) The 1900 Census for Fannin County has the following Fenner information: Hunt, Mary F Head June 1840 Ohio Hunt, Orric M Son Sep 1886 Texas Duke, Mary F Daughter Apr 1867 Iowa Fenner, Joseph G. M GSon May 1885 Texas Fenner, Clara F GDaughter Apr 1891 Texas Duke, Lillian F G.DaughterSep 1895 Texas Based on this information, I believe Mary Duke (maiden name Hunt) was married to your Robert Fenner then married a "Duke" after Robert's death. Joseph and Clara are probably Robert's children. The 1900 Census says she had 5 children, 3 living, the 2 that were deceased are probably Fenner, Infant b & d 15 Feb.1890 and Fenner, William C. 24 Feb.1887-8 Sept.1888 bothe buried in the Grove Hill Cemetery. Hope this points you in the right direction and helps. David Womack
