"Dr. Thomas L. Drennan was born in Macoupin county, Ill., Dec. 10, 1863. He came to Adair County, Missouri, in 1867, where he grew to manhood. For seven years he was in the employ of the government as a mail clerk on the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad. Following this he studied osteopathy and was graduated in the American School in 1899, and at once took rank as a prominent and successful physician.
In 1889 he was united in marriage to Miss Alice Beecher. To this union were born two children, Quintus and Phoebe, who together with their mother survive to mourn the loss of an indulgent father and affectionate husband.
Immediately after graduating from the School, he located at Jackson, Tennessee, for the practice of his profession, where his home has been until the time of his death, which occurred October 19th, 1910, of typhoid fever, at the age of forty-six years and ten months.
Dr. Drennan was a man of superior merit. As a young man he was loved and respected by all his associates. Later as a business man, he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him, for his splendid manhood, for his honesty and integrity and for the noble qualities which command admiration.
His death, in the very prime of life, has brought a note of sorrow to many hearts. Not only in the professional world, where he was well-known and most highly respected, but also among former friends and neighbors from whom he had been separated for many years.
Dr. Drennan was a most esteemed member of the Masonic Order, and also of the Order of the Elks; he was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Jackson, Tenn., where, as an exemplary Christian, his loss is keenly felt.
The funeral services were conducted from the Cater Memorial Church, one mile from his boyhood home, in the presence of a congregation many times too large for the capacity of the church, only a comparative few were able to get inside. The services were conducted by the Rev. W. C. Templeton, D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Kirksville.
Besides the wife, son and daughter, he leaves a [step] mother; two brothers, W. L. and A. E. Drennan; and a host of friends who sincerely mourn his loss. Mrs. Drennan is sick in a sanitarium in San Angelo, Texas, and was unable to be present at the funeral. To her, to the son and daughter, the brothers and mother, the prayerful sympathy of a great number friends goes out in this time of sorrow and affliction."
