The History of Knox County Rests Here: Born in Hamburg, NY, in 1863, George T. Fenton came to Knoxville at the time the city was the marble capital of the south. He was a millionaire marble quarrier and manufacturer who was a vital part of the local industry for several years.

His wife died fairly young while they were living in Knoxville, and she was buried in Greenwood Cemetery on October 30, 1909. But Mr. Fenton wanted something more substantial to honor her and the family, so he personally designed and built the first private family mausoleum in the cemetery. It is very possible it was the first in East Tennessee!

His emotional interest in the building inspired him to do much of the masonry work personally and brought him great comfort. Upon its completion, his wife was moved into the mausoleum on December 17, 1913. Though he would later resettle in Balsam, North Carolina, he was brought back to this sacred place of rest upon his death in 1950.
