Beulah "Pete" Buss was born in Haldane, Illinois. Just a year difference between her brother Frank and her they grew up close. They were raised after they left Illinois in Lowell Township just outside of Britton on a beautiful piece of property that her parents had build a lovely home on. She loved working outside doing farm chores rather than inside. She married Dorsey Willison in 1931. Dorsey and her moved to Bellingham in about 1939 to work. Things were not good in the Dakota's. There had been several years of drought and farming was poor. In Bellingham Beulah went to work housekeeping for other people and bought houses to rent
Beulah made beautiful needle point and did lovely tatting. She was always busy with her hands doing something with yarn and thread. She could knit and crochet among many others. She played the piano and loved classical music. She loved little dogs and owned several over the years. She was also a wonderful baker. You could stop by her home anytime and get a cup of coffee and a piece of cake or something sweet.
