So it would appear that Sophie also went by her middle name. Carmen provides the following translation from the German: "On 9 September 1873, evening 10 o'clock in Henderson died Dorothea Sophie Wigand born Ehrentreich, born in Juergsteven 1805, 27 October, province Brandenburg, Prussia. Mother of 12 children- 9 are still alive. She was grandmother of more than 30 grandchildren. Burial was on 11 September 1873." Burial records indicate Dorothea Sophie died of dyspepsia.
