Lucy B. Woolsey - also know as Lulu Tyrrell (Mrs. Andreason told me that Lulu was legally adopted by Emily’s 4th husband - David Tyrrell, but that her grandfather Bill Woolsey was not legally adopted, although he also went by the name of Tyrrell. Have not been able to find adoption record) Born: 18 May 1860 in: Alameda County, CA

(age listed as 3/12 in 1860 censes referred to above) Married date & place unknown, but surmise it was around 1880 in Nevada or California - possibly San Francisco area as her husband was listed in the 1886 San Francisco Directory as John W. Stuart, Druggist, SE Cor., Leavenworth & Eddy (Film #1033929) 1887-88 Directory - John W. Stuart, Druggist, SE corner 24th and Church (Film #1000846) 1890 Directory - John W. Stuart - residence 1425 Valencia business 1001 Church (Film #100724– I question film no. Died 27 March 1899 in: Grouse Creek, Box Elder, Utah (buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery) Spouse: John W. Stuart

Note: I have seen pictures of both Lulu and her husband “Jack” Stuart. He looked to be quite a bit older than Lulu. There was never any mention of children, but a letter written by Emily in 1887 to her son “Willy” Tyrrell, and mailed from San Francisco, indicated that Lulu age of 29 was slowly. Lulu died of kidney failure at the age of 29 and is buried there. John W. Stuart probably died sometime between 1890 and 1899and is buried in San Francisco and would really like to go down there and see if there are any marriage, death, probate or cemetery records available to verify this, but it would have occurred prior to the earthquake and I don’t know if those records were all destroyed. I was told that “Jack” Stuart was the proprietor of an “Owl” Drug Store.

                 Last Thursday evening, according to announcement, Bishop Whitaker favored

                 the Aurora people with an Espicopal service in the District Court Room. A

                 very attentive audience consisting of Aurora’s best people greeted the Worthy

                 Divine, as is the case whenever he is announced to preach. The choir, consist-

                 ing of Mrs. Levy, Mrs Novacovich, Mrs Estep and Miss Tyrrell, with Mr. Hull

                 as Basso, discoursed excellent music. Miss Tyrrell presided at the organ and did herself much                  credit…..The offertory “Consider the Lillies How The Grow,” was splendidly sung by Miss                  Tyrrell to her own accompaniment.

 

                 In this same edition there is an article mentioning Miss Tyrrell as Miss Lou

                 Tyrrell.
