| Notes for Mathilda "Tilly" Josephine Schaefer |
"Mathilda" was sometimes spelled without the 'h'.
AKA "Tillie"
"Buren" is spelled with an umlat (?).
Because one Schaefer who immigrated in 1892 did so after Tille's birthday, we're guessing she was four years old upon immigration. |
| Misc. Notes |
Tilly Schaefer was born in Büren County, Westphalia, Germany, and immigrated with her family at age four . The Schaefer family settled in Polo , Hand County, South Dakota.
Tilly was not given to crafts, but she was a great cook. She baked great power biscuits and beautiful pies. |
