Madison Fenn on Commerce Street, Montg, AL (817
KB)
he is Carrie's Uncle Mat or our great grandfather Wm F
Fenn's brother who died in 1927 and is buried at Greenwood Cemetery by
Wm F Fenn and near Emmett Fenn. Whomever buried Uncle Mat listed him as
Matthew A Fenn, so they did not know much about the family's real names.
Madison was a night watchman at a grocery store, according to this
census, being widowed as his wife had died in Texas, prompting his
return to Alabama. There is also a Rewis family on this census which we
later find connected with Emmett Fenn.

Uncle Wm Frank Fenn near Highland Avenue (998
KB)
Carrie's brother, also brother of our grandpa Cecil Earl
Fenn Carter. Uncle Frank, his wife Neva Mae Walraven, and her mother are
living between Panama Street and Highland Avenue. He works on the
railroad, like his brother Emmett. Uncle Frank later buys land in
Coosada on Airport Road and has a family cemetery which includes his
brother Robert's grave. The land later becomes Coosada Elementary
School. Some is donated to the church for a cemetery. This is where
cousin Martha remembered her mom, Neva, boiling Frank's workclothes in a
pot outside from his job on the railroad. There was once a housefire
where they lost many of their family photos and mementos, but one son
remembered Frank having a photo of a guy in baseball uniform signed by
Wm Arthur "Tige" Stone.

Eva Dakota Fenn on McDonough Stree (21
KB)
She is now alone. At some point she moved in with her
stepson Wm Frank Fenn Jr because my mother in law Mary Ella Brooks knew
her and actually took her in when Eva and Frank did not get along. This
might have happened in Montgomery before they all moved to Elmore County
but yes, Mary Ella took care of the lady !! What a small world we live
in < smiles >

and moved to Oklahoma where they had one daughter named Jean and they
lived a very poor life and probably died there. Ben is shown to have
been born in Texas.
- John
Brooks of Pennsylvania in Texas 1880 census (833
KB)
Shows his father is from Holland and his mother is from
France and his wife is from Tennessee. John is 42 on this document and
his children are born in Texas so they have been here nearly 20 years
apparently. Roxanna Permilia Smith is using P R for her name on this.

KB)
some of Ben's siblings are born in Indian Territory but he

Johnson family living next to them. Ben's mother is born in Alabama.

Carrie Fenn in Alabama with her father (701
KB)
on Commerce Street with her stepmother Eva, we do not know
why Carrie/ Carolyn never lived with her own mother, but her father was
ill and she stayed. Her brother Emmett is also there but we do not know
why they show his middle initial as J when his middle name was Marvin,
but census officials were not perfect and if Eva was the person giving
out the information, she probably had no clue. Eva Dakota Fenn was very
young too !! |
