Morgan was born Nov. 13, 1825, in Cleveland, Ohio. she was married October 11, 1848 to James Monroe Tenny of Highland, MIch. Coming to Highland immediately after her marriage, she saw much of the pioneer life of this section and resided continuously at the old home, with the exception of a year in Cleveland and a short time in Fenton.To Mr. and Mrs. Tenny were born eight children, three of whom, Mrs. Julia Hedden of Clyde, Rufus H. Tenny of Fenton and Mrs. Mabel Beckwith of Highland are living.Monroe Tenny was one of the victims of the long-remembered boiler explosion which occurred at the premises of John C. Morse August 28, 1872, having been instantly killed. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Tenny was both mother and father to her children.She was one of the early members of the Highland Baptist Church. A woman of many helpful deeds, her character and life were ever such as to command the highest respect and esteem of all her acquaintances.Her later years bore more than their share of suffering. Some four years ago, while on a visit to California, she suffered a fall which resulted in a broken hip. Since then she has been able to get about but very little and that only by the aid of her wheel chair. For the past seven months she has been confined to her bed.Name: Tenny, Eliza MorganDate: June 10, 1905Source: Source unknown; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #080.Notes: Tenny-Eliza Morgan, June 8, in Highland, Mich., daughter of the late Caleb Morgan of Cleveland.
