Cobb County Times, May 24, 1917
Dr Gilbert TENNANT died at the Soldiers' Home in Atlanta, on Friday morning, in
his eighty-third year.  The body was removed to Brumby's Chapel in Marietta on
Friday afternoon; and the funeral services were conducted by Dr J H PATTON and
Dr Rembert SMITH, at the Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.  The
interment was in the City Cemetery, the pall-bearers being Dr C T NOLAN, Judge J
M STONE, Col W R POWERS, and Messrs George D ANDERSON, James H GROVES, and
Lawrence HUNT.  He is survived by a brother, Mr Lewis TENNANT, of Oklahoma, and
a step-daughter, Mrs D T WARD of Franklinton, N C.  Dr TENNANT came to Marietta
from South Carolina, nearly half a century ago to practice medicine.  He was a
highly educated man, and a gifted physician; and always patient, kind, and
gentle in the sick-room.  He had been a skillful and efficient surgeon in the
Confederate Army.  His parents died in his early youth, and he had reared and
educated his younger brothers.  He also reared an orphaned nephew in later
years, and many other stories are told of his kindness and generosity.  He was
of distinguished ancestry, being a descendant of that Gilbert TENNANT who
founded Princeton University; and of other famous physicians and jurists.

Dr TENNANT was married to Mrs OGDEN, a widow from Kentucky, in 1882, who died
some years ago.  Many devoted friends mourn the death of this good man.
