A 1870 Bremen Census shows a 33 year old George Tiley Sr and his wife 30 year old Mageret living on Stephen Rexfords farm with George working as a Farmhand and Margaret a domestic servant. 

By the 1880 census they are living on their own in Breman and have three Sons Charly (9), Thomas (7) and George (6). George Jr. died in 1892 at 18. Margaret died 10 years later in 1902. The 1910  census shows George living in Minnesota with his two remaining sons. He died in 1913 and his body was returned to Illinois for burial. 

According to Brad Bettenhausen's BG research, George Tiley Sr.'s  obituary appeared in the Joliet  News on Thursday July 31, 1913  stating that  "services  were held at the Bachelors Grove Lutheran Church and burial was  in the cemetery adjoining the church which would point to Trinity Lutheran church that was also known as Bachelors Grove for a time. But the obituary also says that George Sr. was laid to rest beside his wife and son who passed many years before, and both are buried in Bachelors Grove Cemetery.  The information was probably incorrect as tended to happen a lot with Bachelors Grove documentation.
