Nicollet Leader - October 29, 1921
  The people of this community were shocked to learn of the sudden demise 
of Mrs. Peter Johannes, nee Mary Rising, who passed away at home of Adam 
Epper at New Ulm Sunday evening at about 11 o'clock.  Mrs. Johannes had 
motored to Sleepy Eye in company with Henry Epper and family Sunday, to 
visit relatives, and was, apparently, enjoying good health.  Late in the 
afternoon she complained of not feeling well and the homeward trip was 
started.  Upon arriving at New Ulm, it was noticed that her condition 
was growing more serious and she was taken to the Epper home, whither 
medical aid was summoned, but she failed to rally and grew steadily worse 
until death ensued, which was caused by uraemic poisoning.  Deceased was 
born in Granby township, August 16, 1858 and in 1877 she was united in
marriage at Swan Lake with Anton Dorn who preceded her death some 28 years 
ago.  About three years later she was married to her surviving husband who 
with five children from the first union mourn her sudden demise.  
They are: Mrs. Henry Epper and John Dorn, Nicollet; Matt Dorn, Mankato, 
Mrs. Anna Dorn, St. Peter, and Anton Dorn, Thief River Falls.  
She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Chas. Sonday, Granby township, 
and Mrs. J. M. Langenfeld, Hastings; a half brother, Adam Epper of New 
Ulm, and a half sister, Mrs. Peter Schaefer of Minneapolis. 
 The deceased was a woman of strong Christian character; patient, loving 
and self, and self sacrificing and will be missed by her many friends.  
The funeral was held Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock from St. Paul's 
Catholic church in this village, Rev. Fr. Hrachovsky officiating, and 
interment was made in the new church cemetery south of Nicollet village.  
The bereaved relatives ;have the sympathy of all their friends.
