______________________
Newton P. Tennant was born in Chautauqua, New York, in June, 1833, and there grew to manhood. In 1854 he was married to Miss Melinda Baker. They separated in 1859, and with the western tide of emigration he came to Wisconsin, settling in Sullivan, Jefferson County, where he was married to Miss Martha J. Baker Feb. 20, 1861. They moved in 1869 to the town of Coloma and settled on the farm where he had since lived until Feb 1, 1903, when he passed from earth to receive his final reward.
Mr. Tennant had been in poor health for several years, and Jan. 29th was taken, worse, gradually failing until relieved of his suffering by death.
He was the father of thirteen children, two by his first wife, both dying in infancy, and eleven by his second marriage, eight of whom are still living. William and Ida , who are still at home, Mrs. W. A. Baker, Mrs. F. L. Hamilton, Mrs. F. G. Holmes and R. L. Tennant were all present at the funeral, which was held from the Coloma M. E. Church Feb. 4, 1903, Rev. Helms conducting the service, interment being made in the cemetery at Coloma Station.
Mr. Tennant was a hard working man and by honest toil had secured enough of this world's goods to be well provided for in the last years of his life. His wife and children have the sympathy of their neighbors and friends.
