    Died, April 29, 1922, at his home in Tennyson, after an illness of only six days' duration, George M.V. Tennyson, one of our oldest citizens and the man who gave our town its name, at the advanced age of 82 years, surrounded by children and grandchildren, who did all that could be done to make his days happy.
    After the death of his wife, Rebecca Hale Tennyson, with whom he had walked the path of life for over fifty years, which occurred Jan. 5, 1915, he lived on at the old home where they started housekeeping.
    Their home was ever open to the homeless, and the care and devotion which the children, grandchildren, relatives and neighbors showed him in his declining years proved the esteem in which he was held.
    Of the family of five children, three daughters survive him: Mrs. Minerva J. Rhodes of Boonville, Mrs. Elizabeth Simpson and Mrs. Emma Byers of Evansville; besides a brother, James Tennyson, and Mrs. Jonas Hinman of Boonville and Martin Hook of Newburgh, brother and sister of his wife, also 18 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
    Funeral services were conducted at the home May 1, by Rev. Pearson, and the remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife and two little sons at Garrison cemetery.
    Even down to old age all his people shall prove His matchless, eternal, unchangeable love.And when hoary hair shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in His bosom be born.",.
