Elsie (Carr) & John I. Tyree's 50th Anniversary

Elsie (Carr) & John I. Tyree's 50th Anniversary
This is Elsie and John's 50th wedding anniversary picture. At the time of their anniversary, John was manager and president of the Lawrence County Beverage Co., Inc. in Bedford, Indiana.

John and Elsie had her mother Priscilla (Sheeks) Carr living with them for many years until she passed away.

I have only fond memories of Elsie and John. He had such a wry sense of humor. I didn't get it for quite awhile what happened to my pet duck John dropped off at my childhood home, before he continued his journey taking a prisoner to prison. He kept asking me every time he saw me after that and chuckled when I told him it flew away. Finally, I figured out the awful truth!

I used to spend two weeks each summer visiting them, and learned among other things how to gather eggs, how to quilt, and how to make an angel food cake! I was not successful bringing the cows home. When they moved toward me, I was terrified!

John I. Tyree, Sheriff of Lawrence County, Indiana
I tend to think that this was John I. Tyree as he was running for sheriff or when he was elected sheriff of Lawrence County, Indiana. See elsewhere also the picture of the sheriff's residence in Bedford.

John was the eldest child in his birth family. His siblings were: Edith C. Tyree, who married Edgar Bareford; Nancy J. "Nannie" Tyree, who married 1) Charley Jackson and 2) Thomas J. Sheeks; Nora Ellen Tyree, who married Homer Bass; Joseph L. Tyree, who married Blanche -----; Fred E. Tyree, who married Vonnie Virginia Pierce; Ed F. Tyree, who married Iona Quackenbush; Cloudy C. Tyree, who married Nina Guthrie; and Ralph B. Tyree, who married Riva Tucker.

The man in this picture looks just like Isom Davis, whose mother was Nancy Tyree. There has to be a connection here.

Your Nancy Tyree might have been a sister of Robert H. Tyree who was John's father. Try contacting the Lawrence County Genealogical and Historical Society at [contact link].
Good luck and thanks for writing.'
