Ada Tryon

Last week when we discovered the court case involving my Great Great Grandfather, it opened up another door. We found a site that had listed the death record for my Great Great Grandfather, and Margurette Tryon, known in the court case and 1900 US Census as Ada Tryon. The Death record for Ada (aka Margurette Mary Tryon on the death record) was not available via the site. So I emailed the register of TN and received an email this morning from them with the copy of the Records of Death for 1909. Ada was 15 years old at the time and according to the register, was an inmate of the St. Peter’s Orphanage. Cause of Death was Strangulation of Epileptic fit. Tonight I put together this quick little scrap page of the copy of the death record for my Great Grandfather’s sister, Ada Tryon. This document is also available on the Ancestry.com site. It is book D page 34, of the 1909 Record of Death.
