Mrs. J. H. Dorn (nee Margaret Sontag)
Nicollet Leader, December 24, 1912
Died: December 20, 1912
Born: September 13, 1853

Mrs. J. H. Dorn of Brighton township died at St. Alexander's hospital at 
New Ulm Tuesday morning following an operation for gall-stones and 
obstruction of the bowels.  She became ill last week and was taken to 
the hospital Sunday and was operated upon the same morning.  Another 
operation became necessary and was performed Monday evening in the hope 
of saving her life, but she never rallied from it and breathed her last 
about six hours later.  The deceased whose maiden name was Maggie Sontag, 
was born in Joliet, Ill., Sept. 13 1853 and was 59 years of age when she 
answered Death's summons.  Her parents removed to Nicollet county shortly 
before the Indian outbreak and she grew to womanhood in Brighton township. 
 She was married to J. H. Dorn, her surviving husband, on Jan. 25, 1876 
and they have made their home on a farm in Brighton ever since with the 
exception of about fifteen years when they resided in this village.  She 
has been at all times a real helpmeet to her husband and a good and kind 
mother to her five children, Anton S. Dorn, Mrs. Fred Bongards and Mrs. 
Theo. Manderfeld who reside at New Ulm and Miss Mary and Charles Dorn who 
are still at home.  She is also survived by three brother and four sisters, 
viz: Wm. and Nick Sontag of Brighton, Chas. Sontag of Granby, Mrs. Susan 
Dorn and Mrs. Frank Mans of Brighton, Mrs. John Schaefer and Miss Helen 
Sontag of New Ulm.  The funeral was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock 
from the Swan Lake Catholic church and interment was made in the church 
cemetery nearby, Rev. W. J. Skluzacek officiating.  The relatives have 
the deepest sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.
