My grandfather was William Groh Buttorff (name Howard at birth but was changed later by his Foster parents, who also happened to be his aunt & uncle). His parents were William Groh Buttorff and Dorothy A. Tyson. His siblings were Evelyn, Relda & Iva. I am having no luck finding any information on Dorothy Tyson. No idea her birthdate, no idea where she was born or the date she died. Through family conversation it is understand she is supposedly buried in Tusseyville Cemetery (I think in an unmarked grave) which I will visit in the next couple of weeks. Does anyone have any information to share about Dorothy Tyson. At one time the family lived in Bellefonte but that's about all I know. >> Hi This info from"Centre Co.
