Berthold Carl Gerald Tiesing, M.D., was born August 16, 1873, at New Haven, Connecticut, and died March 17, 1930, in Columbus, Nebraska. His parents were Frank and Martha Reichel Tiesing. Frank Tiesing was born in 1839 in Germany, and died in 1883, in New Haven, Connecticut. Martha Tiesing was born in Germany, November 12, 1850, and died in Hartford, Connecticut, January 30, 1933. Doctor Tiesing had two brothers: Edward and Herbert. Edward, a die maker, died in New Haven, Connecticut, January 1, 1931. Herbert was a Doctor of Dental Surgery.

Doctor Berthold Tiesing received his formal education in the New Haven schools and later attended Hill House, a preparatory school. In 1890 he went to Germany where he studied medicine and specialized in surgery at the University of Jena in Saxe Wiemar. He was graduated in 1894 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. While attending the University of Jena, he studied piano and flute, becoming highly proficient in both.

After his return to the United States, he served three years of interneship in hospitals in New York City, specializing in obstetrics. In 1897 he came to Columbus and established a practice. His first office was in the Niewohner Building at the southeast corner of Thirteenth Street and Twenty-sixth Avenue. Later, he moved to a house at 1060 Twenty-fourth Avenue, which he bought and remodeled. He had his office there until 1930.

On May 15, 1907, at Auburn, Nebraska, he was married to Amalie A. Dirks, daughter of Reverend John H. and Mrs. Dirks. Reverend Dirks, a Lutheran Pastor, was born in Detern, Germany, July 14, 1842, and died January 3, 1926. Mrs. Dirks was born in Holte, Germany, October 6, 1840, and died April 10, 1912, in Auburn. Mrs. Tiesing had four brothers: Dick, Henry, Martin and Carl.


Doctor and Amalie Dirks Tiesing had two sons and one daughter: Berthold F., born December 22, 1908; Cecelia R., born June 6, 1914; and Herbert C., born February 25, 1919. All attended the Columbus schools and the Luther and Midland Colleges. Cecelia and Herbert were graduated from Kramer High School in Columbus.

Around 1910 Doctor Tiesing was associated in practice with Doctor P. T. Conlan, who later moved to California. From 1912 to 1920 he was associated with Doctor Harry J. Arnold, member of a pioneer Columbus family.

Doctor Tiesing was a past president of the Platte County Medical Society, a member of the Platte County and Nebraska State Medical Associations, and was on the Staff of the Columbus Hospital, now the Lutheran Hospital. From 1918 to 1930 he was the grand lodge physician of the Sons of Herman order in Nebraska, and from 1897 to 1930 its medical officer. From 1927 to 1930 he was medical officer of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He also held membership in the Columbus Maennerchor Society, serving for a time as its director. For three years in the late 1920's he was director of the Columbus Community Orchestra. He was a charter member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Columbus and choir director there for one year after its organization.
