John Fennell
Cincinnati Daily Enquirer, Tuesday, 12 July 1864, page 3
We stated a few days ago that John Fennell, of Newport, had been arrested as a deserter, having failed to report for duty after being drafted. It seems Mr. F was absent from home at the time of the draft. When he returned he was notified to appear at the Provost Marshal's office in Covington, which he did.
Upon explaining why he had not reported he was allowed to commute.

John Fennell was yesterday buried at Highland Cemetery, back of Newport Ky. Jack, as he was familiarly known, was a son of John Fennell, steward on the steamer United States, who lost his life in the collision with the steamer, America, on the Ohio in 1868. Jack died of consumption, at the age of forty-two. A pilot for years, he was well known in steamboat circles.
The pall bearers were John W Leguer, Samuel Dunning, William Orr and Magistrate Schwab. Colonel Wilcox and wife, Colonel Clifford of St Louis in the U.S. Revenue service, together with other relatives and friends attended the funeral.
