• Notes

  Joseph Almy Fenner is my 8th Cousin, one time removed. He attended public schools, but was never considered an eager student--by his own admission "they practically had to burn down Durfee High to get me out!" On 21 June 1903, through the generosity of his uncle, James Chadwick, Joe went to work for the Algonquin Print Works. His temper, always quick to flare, would keep him from rising above the level of supervisor of the Engraving Room. But his fine talents in math and engineering ststood him well in the complicated and intricate work of engraving the brass rollers and setting the gears on the printing machines. Joe worked for the Alganquin until it closed in the 1940s. later did bookkeeping work for Union Hospital. When his brother, Henry M., died, Joe inherited the Insurance business. This information comes from Richard Greene Howland Knight III and is much appreciated by all who will read it in years to come. Herman William Tripp--Remembering......
