In the passing of Dr. Henry Sienknecht the medical profession of Roane, Anderson and Morgan counties lost an old and honored member. For many years he was a resident of Oliver Springs and was held in high confidence and esteem by all who knew him. He was born March 1, 1838, in Pretz, Holstein, Germany, a son of Frederick Sienknecht who came from Germany to the United States in 1849 and located at Wartburg, Tennessee, where he practiced medicine.
After coming to the United States Dr. Sienknecht took up the study of medicine in Philadelphia and Nashville and for many years he engaged in the practice of his chosen profession in Oliver Springs and throughout Roane, Anderson and Morgan counties. During the last twenty-five years of his life the Doctor engaged in the mercantile business, establishing the concern known as the H. Sienknecht Company. He was a man of genial and pleasing personality, with wide culture. Upon the outbreak of the Civil war he put all personal interests aside and enlisted in the medical Corps of the Confederate army, and served in that connection throughout the conflict. In 1868 was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Sienknecht and Miss Barbara Tadlock, who was born January 8, 1849, a daughter of John B. and Jane (Taylor) Tadlock.

T. Hays and they are making their home in Oliver Springs; and Lula J. is living in Oliver Springs.
