FENELON, Patrick (Ken). (Dubuque, IA, Feb. 26, 1909-Dubuque, IA, Aug. 8, 1972). Professional wrestler. Fenelon's interest in wrestling, developed while a student at DUBUQUE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, led to his winning the National World Alliance Junior Heavyweight Championship in 1943. He was presented the title by Pinkie George, founder of the NWA. He held the title until May 1945, when he lost to Marshall Estet in Toronto, Canada.

In 1946 Ken Fenelon became the first two-time NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, by defeating Larry Tillman in Des Moines, Iowa.

In Fenelon's career from 1935 to 1950 he had 72 wins, 22 draws, and 38 losses.
