Read More	Obituary for James Ezra Tennant Funeral services for James Ezra "Jim" Tennant, who died Tuesday afternoon in the Veterans Hospital in Columbia, were held on Oct. 7, 1937, at 11 am at the Home Branch Church in Clarendon County, SC. The body was brought from the funeral home in Columbia the night before and remained at Waters Funeral Home until 9 am when the funeral party left for Clarendon County. Jim suffered a stroke Saturday night and remained in critical condition until his death. One son, Franklin Tennant, and the following daughters survive: Lucille Tennant, Helen Goss, and Placida Bridgers of Florence; Onita Hudson of Summerville, Ethel May Welch of Baltimore, MD., and Milva Cook of Asheville, NC. One brother, J.B. Tennant of Columbia, also survives. ~ Published in the Florence Morning News on Thursday, October 7, 1937. *** Jim might have only served for one day during the Spanish-American War. As the story goes, he joined the war one day, and the next day it was all over with. But it was enough for him to apply for and receive a pension for his service because of the training that he went through to prepare to join the fight. *** Jim was the son of Thompson "Green" Tennant Jr. and Mary Amanda "Mandy" Bryant Lowder Tennant. He was the grandson of Thompson Green "T.G." Tennant Sr. (wife unknown). It is still unknown who Jim's grandmother or great grandparents are on his father's side. His parents and grandparents should be buried where he is buried, and it should be somewhere in Home Branch Cemetery, Paxville, Clarendon County, SC. But there are so many different spellings of their names, unmarked graves, faded markers, and unfinished research in the local cemeteries, so they've been hard to find.
