Will Tennant
One of the sons of the Warren Baker home on going to the home of his uncle, Will Tennant, last thursday afternoon to deliver medicine left for him , was horrified to find Mr. Tennant dead from a rifle ball which had entered at his mouth and remained imbedded in the head. The Dr. was promptly called and after a few hours the county coroner and proper officers were gathered there and determined upon death from suicide.
Mr. Tennant was well known by all in the neighboring vicinity. He has been living alone in his own home for several years. His farm is located near the head of the Mecan River. He was a farmer of some means and though of rather radical temperament and apt to dwell upon pessimistic views of life, still his method of leaving the world came as a great shock to all our people.
During the forenoon he called on his sister, at the Baker home, who was very low with pneumonia. He spoke of not feeling as well as usual but gave no one any clue that the act so soon to follow was being meditated upon.
He was buried in the English cemetery here after a prayer at the home Saturday afternoon.
Willis H. Tennant was born in Coloma April 4, 1872, and here spent his entire life. His death occurred March 11, 1915. He was never married. Four sisters and a brother survive him, Mrs. Mary Manning, in southern Wis., Mrs. Cora Holmes, Big Flats, Mrs. Lizzie Hamilton, Richfield, Mrs. Ida Cotton, Loomis, Wash., and Richard Tennant, of Necedah. Another sister, Mrs. Lillian Baker, of Coloma, died the next day after will's death.
Probably no one suffered a greater shock over his tragic ending than did Jas. Shorey when he learned Monday evening that Mr. Tennant had willed him his entire estate, consisting of a good 90 acre farm buildings and personal property , all valued at upwards of $4000. Jimmie was in no way related to deceased, had no claim on the property, didn't particularly need it and can hardly accustom himself to its ownership, but his many friends are rejoicing with him in his good fortune, well knowing that he will use it aright. Mr. Tennant's judgment as a will maker was certainly far ahead of some others we have heard of.
