Her daughter, Mary Elizabeth FOIL Wallace, was my piano teacher for years. I was about age 5 when “Miss Tibs” began coming to our home to teach my mother, Helen SEAFORD Herion and me piano. Before music became included in the public school curriculum, Miss Tibs taught piano at the elementary school in Mt. Pleasant. My memory is she offered a 30-minutes lesson for $.50. Many Mt. P boys and girls learned to play piano thanks to her. We had an end of year festive piano recital held at McAllister Elementary School in late spring—many performers, large audiences!! She had, in my opinion, a grand studio room in the Foil home across the street from the Reform Church. I had many piano lessons there for years until she married Mr. Wallace and moved to live in Concord. My love of piano music to this day is because of Miss Bessie and Miss Tibs.
