Herbert B. Tenney, cashier of the Consolidated National Bank in 
Tucson was found dead this morning in his apartments at the 
Owls' Club where for years he had resided with M.P. Freeman, 
also of the bank and Leo Goldschmidt. Mr. Tenney had lately 
returned from a visit with his sister, Mrs. Charles W. Williams, 
of San Jose, Calif. Yesterday he was not feeling well and did 
not appear at the bank at all. He left his rooms about 4 o'clock 
in the afternoon and called his family physician, Dr. W.H. Fenner.

He returned to the club and remained in conversation with Freeman 
and Goldshcmidt until about 9 o'clock. He then went to his rooms, 
where he was found this morning by Mr. Freeman.  Dr. Fenner was 
of the opinion that he had been dead five or six hours.  He 
believed the cause of death which had overtaken him in his 
sleep to be apoplexy.

Mr. Tenney was born in Monroe, Wisconsin, fifty years ago. He 
had spent the greater part of his life on the coast and came 
to Tucson in 1880 where he took a position with the Consolidated 
bank of which his stepfather, the late W.C. Davis, was the chief 
promoter. He became cashier of the bank twenty years ago and saw 
it rise to be one of the leading financial institutions of the 
southwest. Mr. Tenney leaves a large estate. He was never 
married. His only surviving relatives are his mother, Mrs. 
Davis and his sister, Mrs. Williams.  The funeral will take 
place here on Thursday afternoon.
