Lewiston Morning Tribune, Lewiston ID, 21 Sep 1953
Mrs. Mary Thiessen of Tammany died at St. Joseph's Hospital last night [Sept. 
20] at age 42 after a lengthy illness.  She was born Mary M. Dau on Sept. 11, 
1911 at Lewiston.  She was a graduate of Lewiston Senior High School and the 
Northern Idaho College of Education, and had attended the University of Idaho.  
She taught grade school at Tammany for two years before her marriage on Oct. 
12, 1936 to John Thiessen.  She was active in the Pollyana Club and the Grange 
in Tammany, and was a member of the Congregational-Presbyterian Federated 
Church.  A devoted gardener, she received more blue ribbons for her flower 
displays at the Nez Perce County Fair in 1952 than any other contributor and 
was awarded the Fair's grand prize.  In addition to her husband she is survived 
by two sons, Harold and Wayne of Tammany; her father and stepmother Mr. and 
Mrs. John Dau of Lewiston; two sisters, Mrs. Claude Wylie of Deary and Mrs. 
Kenneth McIntosh of Lewiston; three brothers, George Dau of Reubens, Fred Dau 
of Cheney, Wash., and Ed Dau of Lewiston, and one half-brother John Schatz of 
Lewiston Orchards. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at the 
Brower-Wann Memorial Chapel.
