Funeral invitation of Mrs. Barbara Gotwals Tyson (1811-1901) Age 90
Barbara was married to Henry Bornemann Tyson (1806-1884). They would own the Allebach-Cholet Farm from 1865 to 1869, afterwhich ownership would pass to Henry's brother John Bornemann Tyson (1810-1889). In total, the Tyson brothers would own the farmstead from 1865 to 1875. The artesian seeps, swamps, and pond on the farm is the source of "Tyson's Run" which empties into the "Little Skippack Creek" which meanders behind Skippack Village.
Note that the funeral is at Ironbridge (Rahns) and interment at the Skippack Dunkard Meetinghouse (Church of the Brethren).

Well, another direct hit from a severe wind storm, just like the one that harvested our big trees in 2020. Two more trees down, countless limbs, and worst of all a direct hit to the Oliver 70 tractor out front. She might have been a non-running yard ornament, but was very intact and all there. 😥
