General Notes

Cause of Death:<CAUS> Civil War battle injury (gun shot?)
Fenton was a Union Soldier in the Civil War.  He died during the battle
of Kenesaw Mountain and is buried in the National Cemetery near Marietta,
George.
According to the EL PASO STORY-The Centennial Book of El Paso, Illinois:
": local soldiers served notably in the Civil War.  The outstanding
combat record was probably by the all-Woodford County Company A of the
86th Infantry that contained fourteen men from El Paso and six from
Palestine Townships.  Almost all the others were from Eureka or Olio
Townships.  Between 9 A.M. and 11:30 A.M. on Monday, June 27, 1864, this
unit, having only about sixty men present for duty, had ten men killed
and many others wounded in a bitter assault on the slopes of Kenesaw
Mountain in Georgia.  Four El Pasoans died: Corp. Caleb Chenoweth, Pvt.
William H. Howell, Pvt. Thomas Dougherty and Pvt. Fenton Sutton.  In
addition, Frank Horn and Eber Hotchkins were captured and died later in a
Confederate prison..."
