She attended town school. The family attended Salem Lutheran Church, and she was confirmed in German there. The family moved to the Welsh lake farm northwest of Spirit Lake in Iowa in 1919. Tillie finished the 8th grade at Diamond lake country 1 school. That summer she lived with her uncle Ede and aunt Augusta Johnson of Dows, IA and helped them with their farm work. In the fall she entered Spirit Lake High School and graduated in 1923. After graduating she went to California where she found employment. She returned to Iowa in the fall to teach one year at a rural school near Dows. Then, on the recommendation of the county superintendent, she accepted the position of teacher at Alendorf, IA at a large school of 32 students. She taught there for four years and then attended Iowa State teachers college for two and a half years. She married Everett in 1930 at Emanuel Lutheran church in Spirit Lake, IA. They spent their first years farming northeast of Dows. In the depression years of the 1930s they sold eggs for 7 cents a dozen and corn for 9 cents a bushel. They raised pigs, lambs, calves, chickens, and had a big garden including fruit trees. In later years, Tillie enjoyed traveling the world. She travelled to China, Germany, South America among other places. She also made periodical trips to visit her daughter Delores in Indiana. She travelled to Overland Park, KS and stayed winters with her daughter Rita. Once the weather warmed up, she insisted on going back up to the farm in Dows to stay the summer there. The Beisner annual family reunions were scheduled around the Corn Days Festival in early August. It was a yearly tradition for her kids, grandkids and great grandkids to make the trek to Dows, where they stayed on the farm, play games, and attended the Corn Days Parade and festival.
