Sarah Elizabeth Tyree

   Another name for Sarah was Sallie.

  General Notes:

I think that with my Grandmother being there to help with cooking and housework and the kids that it helped her so much. Mother didn't always consult Dad when we needed correction. I guess that if anything was major it was Dad who made the decisions. There were times when things would happen and she wouldn't let him know. I remember one time Ruth, who really could get to Martha and work her into a tizzy just for the heck of it, was teasing her and Mother wanted them to separate. So Martha went out to the cistern which had a great big concrete thing around it. Martha sat down and Ruth went to the open window and said something to her. Martha picked up this rock and threw it. It broke both panes! Mother takes off to get the glass to replace the panes. She didn't get to fix them that day - it was summertime and it was late - so he didn't know about it and the next day she got them into the window.

Martha was dating this boy and she got in too late. I don't think Daddy was getting up but she thought he was. So Martha went down to the chicken house and sat down there. When Ruth got up Mother thought it was funny and told the story to her. Ruth then would call Martha "Henny Penny" just to get her goat. [Elizabeth Pinson Daugherty] ⁹

  Marriage Notes:

Hester and I were born in Smith County but the rest were born at Cheap Hill. Daddy was born in Dickson County and mother was born somewhere else. I don't know where Plunkets Creek is but both of them were not born there. Mary Elizabeth, my Grandmother, lived with us as long as I remember. I'll bet Lester is still living. He and Daddy were always the closest and he and Betty always came to visit. They used to live across the street from Helen and her family.

Daddy always wore a black Stetson hat. Whenever the kids wanted to get something from him they would send me in to ask him. They always thought he thought the most of me. He was strict on us because he had five girls. He didn't have a life to live. My Dad did like to hunt. That is what he would do to relax. He liked to squirrel hunt best. When Daddy would come in with the squirrels I was the one who always helped him skin 'em. (Lydia made a face at this and Liz said, "you should have seen grandmother kill chickens.")

Daddy leased river bottomland where he grew corn and he had tobacco and hay on the farm. He cured his own tobacco. He used to raise soybeans on the Cumberland River. And he had sorghum. Mother had a garden, she always had green beans on poles and some that she didn't stake, beets, carrots, butter beans, Crowder peas, strawberries, and rhubarb over by the fence, it came up every year. And she had a lilac tree.

He had cattle - for dairy, and maybe once a year he would sell a calf or two. He had a tractor, a rake and a mower, but he owned all of it. He had horses and a buggy before we had the car. He bought the car before we started to High School.

The Depression didn't have much impact on us. We never were without plenty of food and we never were without clothes. Of course, Mother and Granny made all our clothes. [Elizabeth Pinson Daugherty] ⁹
