[47526] "Freeport Journal-Standard [Freeport, Illinois], 6 September 1977," p. 14: "Freeport second oldest resident, Mrs. Oscar (Ella Mae) Ritzman, died Monday at Freeport Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Ritzman was 103 years old and a resident of St. Joseph's Home for Aged for 12 years. She was quite active even in recent years and was annually feted with a special birthday party. The distinction of being Freeport's oldest citizen lies with Noah Cain, who will be 105 Thursday. During an interview at her 100th birthday in 1973, Mrs. Ritzman recalled earlier days of Freeport when the family lived near Taylor Park and would board jockeys who guided racers at the thriving Taylor Driving Park race course. A staunch member of the First Baptist Church, she attributed her longevity in part to leading a Christian life. She was born on Christmas Day in 1873, in an old red brick house on Tower Road east of Freeport. In March 1893 she married Oscar Ritzman. They lived on a farm east of Freeport until moving to the city in 1899. He died on Feb. 6, 1938. Survivors include a daughter, Mrs. William (Geraldine) Vore, Freeport, six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a daughter, a son and three sisters."

[29298] Thomas' and Ann's genealogy is from an unverified file in http://trees.ancestry.com in 2009. Find A Grave memorial 80946936 offers: "Son of John Tyrrell and Alice Coggeshall. Husband of Anne Marney, b. 1414 in Layer Marney, Lexden, Essex. Father of Elizabeth Tyrell, b 1430 at Heron Hall and Humphrey Tyrrell, b 1444 at Heron Hall. According to the research of Geoffrey Gillon, there is a chantry containing the tomb of Sir Thomas Tyrell. In his will dated 1476, Sir Thomas referred to 'the steeple and new work which I have begun at East Horndon' and requested his executors to see 'it be made sure in such wise that the steeple fall not down.' By the same documents he provided for a small chapel on the north side of the chancel to contain 'a tomb of timber or of stone for me and my wife according honestly for our degree'. Accordingly his executors provided a tomb with brasses showing Sir Thomas and his wife, Anne, shields and an inscription. Over the centuries the tomb has been repeatedly damaged until in 1970 the last remaining portion of the brasses was stolen. As long ago as 1631, however,the antiquary, John Weever, wrote after a visit to the church, 'There be other funerall Monuments in this church, erected to honour of this familie; but their inscriptions are all tome or worne out, and their Sepulchres, like all the rest, foulie defaced. These Tirells (me thinkes) having beene gentlemen, for so many revolutions of yeares, of exemplaire note, and principal regard, in this countrey. might have preserved these houses of rest for their Ancestors, from such violation'. In the 16th century, the south of Tyrell Chapel was added to the building in accordance with the will dated 1510 of Sir Thomas Tyrell IV in which he requested that 'my body be buried in the south side of the choir of the parish church of East Horndon and there by the discretion of my executors to be made a chapel with a convenient tomb over my said body to the charge and value of 100 marks...' Beneath this chapel is a brick vault containing the bodies of a number of the Tyrell family, but following vandalism in 1970, it has been permanently sealed. (taken from the History of East Horndon All Saints Church." Ancestry.com offers: "Tyrrell Name Meaning - perhaps from a Norman nickname for a stubborn person, from Old French tirel, used of an animal which pulls on the reins, a derivative of tirer ‘to pull’. Woulfe suggests that it may be from the personal name Thurold, Old Norse Thorvaldr, composed of the elements þórr, name of the Norse god of thunder (see Thor) + valdr 'rule'." https://www.houseofnames.com offers: "The origins of the Tyrrell surname date back to the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It comes from an early member of the family who was a stubborn or obstinate person. The surname Tyrrell is derived from the Old French word tirer, which means to draw. This is used in the same sense as the word tirand, which means "one who pulls on the reins;" thus it may be that it was used as a nickname for a stubborn person, before coming to be used as a hereditary surname."
