The subject of this sketch was born in Boone county, Missouri, June 5th, 1835. He is the son of Caleb Fenton, a native of Kentucky, who came to Boone county at an early period of its history. His father ivas also named Caleb. William was educated at the common schools of the county. The first teacher, of any consequence, was Kobert A. Younger, under whose instructions he made rapid progress. He was married in 1856 to Miss Lucinda, daughter of Buford Stice, of Boone oounty, a native of Kentucky. By this union they had five children: Ada, who married Washington Mordica ; James T. married Miss Cora Phillippie; Andrew B. ; William E. ; Annie, married William Pollock. The first wife dying, Mr. Fenton married Miss Belle, daughter of John I. Pollock. Bythis union they have two sons, Hinton and Turner G., namesakes of Judge Hinton and Hon. Squire Turner, of Columbia, Missouri. Mr. Fenton is a member of the Masonic order. He purchased the farm upon which he now lives of Allen Coats. It was settled i^ 1819 ; it is situated on Silver's Fork, of the Perche, and is very productive. Notwithstanding the severe drought of 1881, which rendered the corn crop almost a failure, Mr. Fenton produced more of this cereal than he could consume.
