Tillie Rose Jacobs Mahler was the daughter of Julius Jonah Jacobs and Rachel Shuham Jacobs. Born in Eastern Europe, she was married around 1880 to Latvian-born tailor Meyer Elias Mahler (1856?-1910). Meyer left Latvia for America in 1885, sending for Tillie and the children in 1886 to join him in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Within a few years, Meyer and Tillie moved their family uptown to East 105th Street, then part of Jewish Harlem. Tillie and Meyer had ten children together, although only seven survived to adulthood.
Meyer became a U.S. citizen in 1900, which made Tillie and the two oldest children naturalized citizens, as well. After her husband died of stomach cancer early in 1910, Tillie continued to live with her children, all working to support the family. By 1925, with a number of children married and in homes of their own, Tillie moved to the Bronx to live with her son Morris and daughter Dora.
After Morris married, Tillie and Dora shared an apartment until Dora died in 1950. Tillie passed away on June 4, 1952.
