He was a son of Samuel and Mary Ladenburg Tennis.
Tennis - In Drumore township, Lancaster County, Sixth month 9th, 1882, Israel tennis, and Elder of the Little Britain Monthly Meeting, in the 82nd year of his age.
This dear Friend removed from Gwynedd, Montgomery county to Drumore over fifty years ago and settled a very poor farm of over 100 acres. By dint of industry and hard labor in connection with his helpful helpmate who survives him, he was enabled to raise a large family and improve his home until it became one of the most valuable in the neighborhood. His residence was about three miles from meeting which he diligently attended and was often heard to say that for over 40 years when in health, he rarely failed to attend all his religious meetings at home as well as the Quarterly and Yearly Meetings as they came in course. As elder he was highly esteemed. The past three years he suffered much from an affliction of the heart, which prevented him from from his home and as the end approached he frequently expressed himself as ready and waiting the Master's summons. "Blessed are you the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the spirit, for their rest from their labor and their works do follow them".
