One of Nashville's Oldest and Best Known Residents Died Yesterday

Pendleton, at one time Nashville's leading drug merchant, passed away yesterday morning at the age of ninety-four years, following a lingering illness and through his death one of the oldest and best-known residents of the city was taken away.
He was born of famous parentage in Virginia and early in life his father removed from near Richmond to Kentucky and organized the drug firm of Ewin and Pendleton which for many years was one of the largest concerns of its kind in the south.
