| 5759 | Willet Edwin Tennery, Jr.Ed Tennery... A renaissance man, a gentleman, a loving and faithful husband. Dad and our beautiful Mother were married 66 years. Dad was a caring and supportive parent. He loved his family and was proud of his heritage. He loved his church. He loved his Lord. He was loved by all who knew him. He was a boxer and a violinist. A football player who loved the opera and the Beatles. A tennis player and a calvary man. He loved trout fishing and Hershey bars with nuts. He enjoyed his cookies, his rocking chair, the chime of his beautiful grandfather clock, navy beans, and occasional pepper steak. All well-deserved, simple pleasures. He had a gentle, sincere laugh. He never forgot the value of manners and being polite. He had a wonderful, infectious personality. He was respected and liked by everyone. He always sacrificed to support his family and their dreams. His handshake was always firm, his smile gracious and friendly. He was everyman's "Best Man." He was from a generation of real men and raised in a turbulent, yet innocent time. To sum up the life of 91 years in just a few words is perhaps a tribute to a man so special and is significant because they express the character of his life. Dad, Daddy, Grampy, all names that reflect his impact on the lives of his adoring family. His beautiful and supportive daughter, Luann, was his rock of dependence, and he was so proud of her and her family. Luann always remained his little girl and was always there for advice and companionship. The world, our world, was a better place while Dad was here, and he will be missed forever. Survivors include: Son, Dr. Tom Tennery, wife Patti; grandson, Scott Tennery, wife Patty; great-grandsons: Juan Sebastian and Matthew Tennery; Daughter, Luann Kyle; grandson, Taylor Kyle and wife, Rachel. Please weep with us for five minutes. Then smile and laugh and rejoice that he is with Mother, and he suffers no more. We honor your life, Sir! Services, under the direction of Memorial Park Funeral Home, will be held, 2:00 p.m, Wednesday, September 16, 2009, at the Memorial Park Historic Chapel, 13400 N. Kelley Ave., OKC, 73131; interment to follow in Rose Hill Burial Park. | Tennery, Willet Edwin Jr. (I4389)

| 5787 | • Biographies of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties, Missouri. Ramfre Press, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 1958. page 825-826 - Franklin County Judge William P Springgate, farmer, was born in Mercer County, Ky., in 1816, and is the son of William Springgate, a native of the same county, who removed to St. Louis County, Mo., in 1822, and from there to Greene County, Ill., in 1887, where he died in 1868. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and a farmer and wagon-maker by occupation. The mother's maiden name was Gritten; her father was a Revolutionary soldier, and immigrated from Virginia to Kentucky soon after the War for Independence. He and his wife walked the distance on foot, and carried all their possessions on their backs. They were among the early settlers, and he was a familiar companion to the celebrated Daniel Boone, and lived to the ripe old age of one hundred and fourteen years. William P. lost his mother when about two years old, and remained with his father until grown, receiving but a limited common-school education, which he walked a distance of three miles to obtain. He was married in St. Louis County, Mo., in 1838, to Miss Ann, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Sullins. To this union were born three children, two now living: Amanda, wife of Richard Zumwalt, of Osage County, and Marcelus. Mr. Springgate lost his wife in 1854, and two years later he married Miss Sarah, sister of his first wife. Five children were the result of this marriage, four now living, viz.: William, Ferdinand, Sterling and Virginia. In 1844, previous to the death of his first wife, our subject removed to Franklin County, and located twelve miles southeast of New Haven. In 1864 he came to New Haven, and has since made that city his home. He has made farming his chief occupation, and in it has been successful. In 1854 he was elected county judge and re-elected in 1858. In 1862 he declined a renomination, but in 1866 was elected to the same and served one term, and was afterward appointed to fill an unexpired term, making nearly sixteen years' service in all. He has since served as marshal of the city of New Haven, for four years. He was reared a Whig, and his first presidential vote was for Gen. Harrison, in 1840, but some time prior to the war identified himself permanently with the Democratic party. He is a prominent church member, and his wife belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr. Springgate's father settled in St. Louis County when the city of St. Louis was a mere French hamlet, and he distinctly remembers when there was but one brick building in the place, and that but one story, and an inferior affair altogether. Comparatively few men have lived as long in the State as has Mr. Springgate, he having been an inhabitant of the State since he was about six years old, or for about sixty-five years. https://archive.org/details/historyoffrankli00cape | Springgate, William Perry (I4449)
