The maiden name of Dr. Tanner's mother was Mary A. Battles, and her ancestors settled in Bridgewater, Mass., about 1725, and many of their descendants still remain in Massachusetts. Dr. Tanner's grandfather on his mother's side, Dr. J. D. Battles, was a merchant in Boston from 1821 to 1845, when he came west, settling in Griggsville, Illinois. After that he studied medicine and practiced there for over forty years, dying at the age of ninety............Dr. Tanner was married September, 1st, 1881, to MISS MARY G.M., daughter of JAMES M. and MARIA M. (LAWE) BOYD, granddaughter of COL. GEORGE and HARRIETT (JOHNSON) BOYD; and great-granddaughter of Joshua Johnson, a pioneer of Maryland and first United States consul at London, England. COL.
