She was born on Nov. 3, 1884 in Bockum, Kreis Meschede, Westfalen, Germany. Her parents died of typhoid fever within two weeks of each other during a typhoid epidemic. They had two daughters, Theresia, 5, and Maria, 3 years old. The two girls were raised by two different families. Mother was raised (not adopted) by cousins, Joseph and Kasperina (Kessler) Tillmann in Wenneman, a town near Bockum where Mother's parents lived. They had children her age so she fit right in. Maria was adopted by a family named "Doering" in a nearby town of Freinohl. They were an older couple who had no children, so she was raised as an only child. Although both girls were dearly loved by their new families, I think Mother missed having her sister with her while they were growing up. I've been told that they occasionally visited each other but I'm sure they would rather have been together. I was never told why they weren't adopted by the same family.
