The Southern Democrat (Oneonta, AL) Thursday, Nov 27, 1902
Tennent Lomax, died at his residence in Montgomery early Saturday morning after an illness of nearly four months from cancer of the tongue. He was conscious up until the hour of his demise and fully aware of the approaching end, as he had been for several weeks past. Every effort was exhausted to save him, but in vain. Some weeks ago, he was taken to New York City where medical experts treated him, but to no purpose, as it was too late and he was brought back home to die.
The county court house was draped in honor of the distinguished dead. Mr Lomax having been solicitor of the Montgomery County Criminal Court.
Hon Tennent Lomax, born in Montgomery, Alabama, April 29, 1858, was the only son of Col Tennent Lomax, who while commanding the Third Alabama Regiment, Confederate Army, was killed at the Battle of Seven Pines.
Mr Lomax received his early education in the public schools of Montgomery. In 1878, he graduated from the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and a year later completed the law course at that institution. He was admitted to the bar of Montgomery and formed a partnership with Judge J R Tyson, now on the Supreme bench of Alabama.
From 1880 to 1886, Mr Lomax was Assistant Solicitor of the Montgomery District. When Montgomery was made a separate district in 1886, he was elected State Solicitor for the six-year term and re-elected in 1892 and 1898. In 1878, he was chosen Secretary of the Democratic Executive Committee just after attaining his majority, which position he held for ten years and was continuously a member of the state democratic committee to the time of his death. He was a delegate to the democratic national convention of 1888, 1896 and 1900, serving as chairman of the Alabama delegations in 1896 and 1900. In the constitutional convention of 1901, he served with conspicuous ability as chairman of the committee on preamble and declaration as a debater on the floor.
Mr Lomax was prominently identified with the military organization of Montgomery being an honorary member of both the True Blues and Greys, companion of the national guard. He was an enthusiastic member of the Sons of Veterans and Commander of Camp Holtzclaw of Montgomery, which he organized. Mr Lomax was especially well known for his connection with fraternal affairs, particularly as related to the Knights of Pythias. In 1896, he was made Grand Chancellor of Alabama and was Supreme Representative to the Supreme Lodge of the United States.
Mr Lomax was also a member of the Board of Trustees of the State University. He was a most eloquent orator and a strong and forceful speaker.
