Bama Tyson married Jim Tyson and they had Alice Faye (Tyson) Freeney, who was born in Coffee County, Alabama.
When Bama was 25 and married to James, 58, they were living in Carpenter, Coffee County, Alabama, on Stump Spring Road. They had children William, Annie, Unie, Willie, and Eric living at home. James was a farmer and Bama, and Willie were helping on the farm.
About 20 years later, she was still married to James and living in Bullock and Host, Alabama. Their children Rusha, Clarence, Clifford, Charlie, and Allie were at home as well as grandchildren William Frazier, Otis Frazier, James, Annie, and Sarah Nell Lee who were living with them. James/Jim was now a tenant farmer and helping him were Rusha and his grandchildren, as well as hired hand Curtis Smith, who was living with them.
When Bama was about 61, she was divorced and the head of the household, living in Rose Hill, Alabama. Living at home were Charlie, Alice, Annie, Ruth, and son-in-law, Willie Smith. Bama was a "wash lady" and Ruth was a housekeeper.
Bama died at the age of 113 and is buried in Covington County, Alabama. She was a lifelong resident of Alabama.
Written on Bama Tyson's headstone is "Nearer My God To Thee" and "We Love You But God Loved You Best"

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
