"The Roanoke Leader"
Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, July 13, 1921 
 
DR. W.T. TENNANT DIED THIS MORNING AT ATLANTA HOSPITAL; To Be Buried Here 
Tomorrow 
 
The untimely death of Dr. W.T. Tennant Jr., which occured at six o'clock this 
morning at a hospital in Atlanta, will prove a shock to a host of friends of 
this popular young man throughout this section. Dr. Tennant was located in 
Manchester, Ga., when he was taken ill with appendicitis and hurried to 
Atlanta, where an operation was performed on Saturday. His condition was found 
to be desperate from the beginning. His father, Mr. W.T. Tennant Sr., went to 
his bedside as did his wife and his brother-in-law, Dr. Henry W. Grady. Every 
effort was made to prolong his young life, but in vain. 
 
The remains will be brought to Roanoke on the Central of Georgia train this 
afternoon. The funeral and interment will be in Roanoke at 2 o'clock tomorrow 
afternoon, according to present information, but it is not known now just where 
the services will be held. 
 
The circumstances of this death are particularly sad. Dr. Tennant was the only 
son of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Tennant and is survived by them and four sisters, also 
by his wife, who was Miss Stella Radney, and their two month old baby girl. He 
located in Manchester about a year ago to begin the practice of medicine and 
was making a fine record. 
 
Dr. Tennant was born and reared in Roanoke, was a young man of excellent 
character and of a very likable disposition, making friends of all whom he met. 
 
Early last summer he made a profession of religion and united with the First 
Baptist church of this city. When he went to Manchester he became identified 
with the Baptist church of that town but when a dissention arose in that church 
this spring due to local conditions, he withdrew and put his letter in the 
Methodist church to be with his wife. 
 
That one so young and promising should be called thus prematurely is one of the 
melancholy tragedies of life that cannot here be understood. But it is 
comforting to know that this life, though brief, has been spent as to bring 
blessings upon the many who knew and loved him and in the larger fields that 
lie beyond, the fruitage of his life and labors will doubtless be found to be 
abundant when He who takes account of all we do shall say at last, "well done!"
