Caryle Glenwood Tatem changed his name to Glen Wood Tatem because he didn't care for his given name "Caryle". Glen married Norma Rose Davis in Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana, on 15 September, 1943. He and wife, Norma Rose DAVIS, obtained the very FIRST Veteran's Administration home loan in Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana, on their house at 1517 Sycamore Street.
Sergeant Tatem was a member of Company F, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. He was Killed in Action while fighting the enemy in the Taegu area, Yongpo, South Korea on August 13, 1950 (per http://www.koreanwar.org/html/2013_kccf1_lastname_search_results_repeat.html...Korean War Remembrance Project - P.O. Box 180190 - Dallas - Texas 75218-0190 - 1-214-320-0342). This area is in South Korea near the Naktong River corridor where his unit had come onto the battlefield on July 21-22nd, 1950.
Glen and his rifle platoon were killed by North Koreans in ambush. Sergeant Tatem was awarded the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal. It took over 10 months for the U.S. to recapture the site in Korea and to recover Glen's remains from the site in Korea where his platoon was ambushed.
Mary (Day) TATEM, wife of John Harrison TATEM, and mother of Caryle Glenwood TATEM, wanted an open casket the day of the funeral on 4 August, 1951, as well as have him buried in Garrard County, Kentucky. Wife, Norma Rose, did not agree and wanted a closed casket funeral service and have Glen buried in Columbus, Indiana. This caused problems and upset the TATEMS. Then, to even further stress the situation, Paul Harold VOELZ married Norma Rose (Davis) TATEM on 5 February, 1952, and adopted both TATEM children. John and Mary TATEM told them that would be the end of the TATEM name if he did that. Paul decided that he was going to have other children with Norma Rose and that he wanted them all to have the same surname. This pretty much cooled the relationship between the TATEM/ VOELZ family lines.
...the TATEM name lives on through a granddaughter, Tatem Rose Lawson, of Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana.
