1921: Obituary: Battle Creek Moon-Journal (Michigan), Sept. 26, 1921: Mentioned in Father's Obituary:
"ELDER TENNEY
KILLED BY AUTO"
"The accident happened at 5:30 p.m. Saturday when Elder Tenney with Mrs. Tenney and their grandson, George, were crossing East Main street at Newark avenue to board a street car after having visited the grave of his son, Evers, at Oak Hill Cemetery."
"According to Mrs. Tenney, who witnessed the accident, she and her little grandson, George, had crossed through the line of automobiles, but did not believe that her husband, who was lame, would attempt a crossing. As she reached the curb across the street, she turned, to see her husband on the pavement being dragged by the truck. Other witnesses claimed the front wheel passed over his head."
"Elder Tenney is survived by his wife, Elsie L. Tenney, as one daughter, Mrs. Ralph C. DeVault of Chicago. Mr. DeVault was formerly connected with the Sanitarium as a photographer and only recently went to Chicago to enter the motion picture field. He is also survived by a sister-in-law, Mrs. John Tenney, and a nephew and niece who reside on Manchester street.
One son, Evers, died about a year ago. Two grandsons, Ivan and George, are the sons of Evers Tenney."

1921: Moved from Michigan to Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. (See 1921 Obituary of Father).
