The 1910 Galveston censes, Ward 6, Page 9, line 83, shows Tillie Rodefeld, with her mother, Ernestina Middlested in her household. Ernestina is 74, b abt 1836 in Germany , with 3 children living: I believe the 3 children are Henry, Wilhemena, and Tilly. In one census, I found a niece Tillie Jenkins, living with Tillie Rodenfeld. This younger Tillie is the daughter of Henry Middlested, confirming that the older Tillie is Henry Middlested's sister.

Tillie Tucker signed her mother's death certificate.
