On March 14, an old and well-known citizen of Hartland passed away, Samuel A. Tenney, after a lingering illness from dropsy and the infirmities of age.
Mr. Tenney was born in Riga, N.Y., May 22, 1825, being the son of Alvah and Rebecca C. Holdbridge Tenney. On January 16, 1845, he married Miss Lydia Fidelia Lytle of Chill, N.Y., the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Foster Lytle. She died October 14, 1890. Five children were born to them, three of whom are living, namely, Alvah L. Tenney of Valley City, N.Dak., Mrs. Abner Johnson of West Allis and Mrs. D.J. Paul of Fresno, Cal.
Mr. Tenney came west and about the year 1847 settled in the town of Lisbon, this county, where he resided fifteen years, serving as town superintendent of schools and postmaster. He then removed to Waukesha and later purchased a farm in the town of Muskego, and engaged in raising fancy stock. He resided there for twenty years, serving as postmaster eighteen years. In 1882 he removed to a farm near Hartland and after some years retired to spend his declining years as a resident of the village. On October 24, 1898, at Ft. Wayne, Ind., he was married to Miss Codling, of Elmhurst, Norfolk England, who survives him.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from the Congregational church, Hartland, the Rev P H. Mason, officiating. Interment took place in the village cemetery.
