She and her parents, along with two little sisters and two small brothers, moved to the Beaverhills area near her grandparents' homestead in 1907. Two uncles on each side of the family lived nearby. Tillie probably attended Mansfield School, but irregularly, since she was the eldest child in a growing family. On 16 Oct 1916, she married FRANCIS "FRANK" FORD, born 2 October 1892 at McKellar, Ontario, son of James Ford Jr., born in 1862 and Hannah nee Reid, born in 1863. In 1916, the year Frank and Tillie married, his parents and brother Alex moved a few miles south to Ross Creek on what is now Highway # 16. Frank and Tillie lived in the Good Hope area for two years and in 1918 moved to Ross Creek, where they lived until 1927. In 1927 Frank, Tillie and the children moved to a farm between Vegreville and Lavoy. Tillie's Uncle Chris and Rennetta Schneider had lived in that area since 1918, and Aunt Luise (Schneider) and Uncle Adolf Schmidt had lived nearby at Imperial since 1917. Times were very hard for the Ford family. They survived because Tillie grew a huge garden, dried saskatoons and mushrooms, made soap, carded and spun wool, made many quilts and rugs, knitted mittens, gloves and socks and sewed nearly all their clothes. She spoke of her mother having taught her all these skills. Somehow Tillie found time to visit sick neighbors, and often made clothing for the needy in the neighborhood. Frank kept up his horseman skills and managed the farm. Their children have warm memories of his love of reading books, and came to share a passion for reading. The family subscribed to The Family Herald, Winnipeg Free Press, Country Guide, Farm and Ranch Review and other papers. Tillie had her first cancer operation in 1938, and though she suffered greatly, she carried on with her needlework. She never complained, and after a long and courageous battle with cancer, died Sept 1943.
