Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by: Vivian Christensen Mathilda Schuveiller Dorn Nicollet Leader June 23, 1917 Born: January 15, 1892 Died: June 19, 1917 How often is the saying that "in midst of life we are in death" brought home to us with terrible and crushing force and we pause to wonder, can it really be possible. Every day of our life exemplifies the truth of this saying, yet still we wonder and cannot reconcile ourselves to the truth. Again it comes to us in the death of Mrs. Matt Dorn, and we are called upon to chronicle the sad death, one of the most painful duties that the writer has been called upon to perform in many a day, and we sadly feel our incompetence on such an occasion. Only last week we congratulated the happy parents on the birth of a daughter, June 7th, and were assured that the mother and child were getting along nicely. On Saturday the mother suffered a relapse and the reports came out that Mrs. Dorn was in a most critical condition with but little hopes of recovery and the friends gathered in small groups on the streets and discussed the situation with basted breath, hoping against hope that her life might be spared, and how the reports from the bedside were watched, and many the expressions of joy when favorable, and adverse reports we heard with a sob. Everything possible that the best medical skill, loving hearts and intelligent minds could suggest to prolong this precious life was done. Her mother, brothers and sisters had arrived and the patient herself was making a most heroic fight. But all to no avail. At 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, June 19th, the slender cord of life was snapped assunder and the pure soul winged its flight to the great beyond, to enter the realm of eternal bliss, where sorrow and suffering are unknown, there to await but a little while the coming of her loved ones. "Pale and fair, with sweet eyes lifted, Gazed our loved one toward the sky; Gently as a passing zepher, Aye, without a parting sigh, She departed with the angels, And we know our darling lover Was "not dead" but gone before." Never has there been a sadder death in this community. A young woman, just in the first bloom of useful, happy womanhood, with all that goes to make life worth the living; an ideal home, countless friends, devoted husband and all the other essentials. Then came the little daughter, the link that completes ther perfect unity of earthly existence. To be called by the grim reaper and taken from such surroundings is exceptionally sad, indeed. No pen can depict or language express the grief and suffering of the husband, aged mother and relatives. Mrs. Dorn came to Webster about two years ago as a bride and never has a person so been taken into the heart of a community as she. Modest and reserved, but of a lovable and happy disposition, such that to know her was to love her, a devout christian, a beautiful character in the broadest sens of the term, a living exemplification of a perfect womanhood. She is not dead, but living in the hearts of her friends so long as the memory is active and consciousness exists. Mathilda Schuveiller was born in Nicollet, Minn., January 15, 1892, and was 25 years, five months and seven days old at the time of her death. The immediate cause of death was peritonitis. She was married to Matt Dorn in September, 1915 and has since made her home here. The funeral occurred Wednesday morning at 10 o clock from St. Otto s church. Solemn Requiem Mass was read by the Rt. Mgr. Mensing, assisted by Rev. Father Kelley. The remains were taken to the old home at Nicollet, accompanied by the husband, mother, brothers and sisters and Anton Karpen of this city, where funeral services will be held Friday morning and interment made in the family cemetery. The members of St. Ottos Court No. 1252, C. O. F. and St. Ann Court, marched in a body and escorted the remains from the Mohs undertaking rooms to the church. The edifice was filled to capacity with friends anxious to pay the last sad tribute to their departed friend, and sympathy to the bereaved relatives. Deceased is survived by her husband and infant daughter; mother, six brothers and three sisters. The afflicted family have the sincere sympathy of everyone in their bereavement.onicle the sad death, one of th palong nicely.
