Louise Tyree

Notes:

Charles Sterling Owens shows differing parents, in error, for Louise Tyree. He instead shows her as the daughter of William R. Tyree and Rhonda Ann Henderson.

However, according to Paul Williams, The Princeton, Gibson County, Indiana death record for Louisa Tyree Sowder (Bk H48, Pg 121) shows her father as William Tyree and her mother as Ellen Forgy. Paul Williams also supplied the following copy of Louise's obituary:

Paul Williams provided the following information regarding the Civil War service of William Tyree, who was in the Union Army:

TENNESSEANS IN THE CIVIL WAR; (USA) TYREY, William: Blacksmith, Co K, 8th TN Cav

Service records from National Archives shows William Tyrey enrolled in the 8th Cav, Co K, as a blacksmith on 20 Sept 1863 in Hancock County, Tennessee for a period of 3 years. He mustered in 27 October 1863 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The only other item in the file is one card. Remarks say that he had bounty due of $25 plus premium of $2 and this was never paid.

Per "Crawford County, Indiana Civil War Veterans" (D.B.Leistner,2005)
1886 Residence Sterling - William Tyree - subject states that he was a Pvt. in the 8th Reg, Co. K, Tennessee Vol
