    In the death of Theodocius Fenton, which occurred at the Ogdensburg City Hospital on Sunday, Burke loses one of its old and most respected citizens.  Mr. Fenton had been in poor health for some time.  About six weeks ago he went to the hospital and submitted to an operation, hoping to be restored to health.  Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Williamson, his son-in-law and daughter, were with him at the end.  Mr. Fenton was a native of Saratoga, coming to Burke when a young man and residing here ever since.  He was a veteran of the Civil War, an upright honest citizen and a kind neighbor.  He held many offices of trust and faithfully fulfilled every obligation.  Mrs. Fenton dies about eight months ago, since which time he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Williamson.  He leaves to mourn his loss three sons and three daughters, Albert, of Burke; Henry, of Haverhill, Mass.; George, of Everett, Mass.; Mrs. Wallace Town and Mrs. W. D. Williamson, of Burke, and Mrs. Walter Everett, of Salida, Col., all of whom except Mrs. Everett, were present at the funeral which was held at the home of Mrs. Williamson on Wednesday, Rev. S. G.
