3. | Louise Tyree was born on 29 Jun 1868 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky (daughter of William Tyree, Sr. and Eleanor Forgy); died on 5 Jun 1957 in Gibson County, Indiana. Notes:

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:
