Pacific Grove. So after disposing of their interests at Edenvale to Mrs. Hayes Chynoweth they took up their residence here living for a short time in Monterey. Afterward they built a home on Central Avenue in this city, where Mr. Tennant died and where Miss Tennant remained until about a year ago, when she decided to go to the John Tennant Memorial Home, but later returned to a cottage next to the homestead, where she was living at the time of her death. Miss Tennant, although not ostentatious in her giving, was a woman of large heart and was a friend in need to a great many people. She was a member of the Episcopal Church and until the last few years was an energetic worker in St. Marys- by-the-Sea, contributing largely to the building of both the church and Parish house. The chief work of her life, however, ws the founding of the John Tennant Memorial Home on Forest avenue near the city limits, built in memory of her brother. It is one of the prettiest places of its kind in California, and her one hope in life was to see it succeed. Miss Tennants only relatives in this country are her nephew, F. W. Tennant and his sister, Mrs. Nellie Flavell, both of this city, and some grand nephews and nieces in San Jose. Besides considerable property in Pacific Grove, Miss Tennant had some valuable holdings in San Jose. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 8:45 a.m. at St. Marys-by-the- Sea. After the funeral services at the church the remains will be taken on the 10 oclock train to Edenvale, where they will be laid to rest beside the brother she loved so well. Rev. G.M.
