St.
Williams: Mrs. John Tennant passed away suddenly at the home of
Mrs. Harold Madole on Monday at the age of 84 years.
Although she had not been in
good health for several years her sudden passing came as a shock to
the community.
She was born in Dunnville,
the only child of Mr. and Mrs. J. Woods and when only an infant her
mother passed away. She was then adopted by the late Mr. and Mrs.
Alex. Moodle of Dunnville.
They moved to Canfield and
later she was married to Mr. John Tennant of Brantford.
They then took up residence
in Tavistock and Marshville[. More] than 50 years ago they moved to
St. Williams, where the late Mr. Tennant was the first station agent
for a great many years. They built a new home near the station,
where Mr. Tennant predeceased her three years ago.
The only surviving members of
the family are her two adopted daughters, Mrs. Leighton Brown of
Sudbury and Clara of London. They were unable to be present, the
former being injured in an accident and the latter being ill.
She was a devoted member of
the Baptist church and Sunday school, holding the office of
treasurer for a great many years. She was a valued member of the
Ladies' Aid and Mission Circle.
The funeral was held from the
home of Mrs. George Price on Wednesday to the Baptist Church, Rev.
E. C. South officiating. Interment was in Newkirk Cemetery.
