The Nashville Globe
Friday, 11 January 1907


         MARSHALL KENNARD, a much esteemed citizen,
       died Jan. 7, 1907, at the age of 37. His
       illnes was extremely short, being only of
       a few hours, as this sudden death was the
       sequence of an operation performed upon his
       left hand. He rallied nicely from the effects
       of the anaesthetic and chatted continuously
       with his devoted wife till within five minutes
       of leaving, when he closed his eyes and with-
       out a murmer or struggle was numbered with
       the beyond. It came as a shock not soon to
       be eliminated to a myriad of friends who
       hastened to view him to be convinced of its
       certainty and then, surrounding his grief-
       stricken widow, they gave sympathy unbounded.
       MARSHALL KENNARD possessed many beautiful
       traits of character, and being of a jolly
       temperament and extremely polite, was easily
       the favorite of all with whom he came in con-
       tact. He was loved by all who knew him re-
       gardless of color. Many persons will recall
       the joyous moments afforded them whenever he
       presided at an instrument and remember how
       insatiably they have listened to his rich
       and voluminous voice. Evidencing such a love
       for music as he did, his many music loving
       friends and associates flocked around him
       that they might be numbered with those who
       ever remembered and loved him. The numbers
       rendered by Messrs. TEASLEY, SAMUEL MOORE,
       ELLIS McNAIRY and Miss GEORGIA HOOPER were
       beautiful and appropriate as were the many
       flower designs sent him. He was a member of
       the Friendship Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
       whose every movement from the time of his
       death to the time of his interment say much
       for the Pythians. For though the weather
       was inclement, they turned out as a whole
       to do him honor. He leaves behind a devoted
       and affectionate wife, kind mother and many
       friends whom we commend to Him who doeth
       all things well.
