DEATH CAME VERY SUDENLY
Mrs. Bertha Dahm Passed Away Saturday From Attack of Heart Trouble
Apparently well when she retired for the night Friday, Mrs. Bertha Dahm was attacked with a serious case of heart trouble Saturday morning, the death angel beckoned and summoned her to her reward a little before noon Saturday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wanzo M. (Marguerite, a.k.a Maggie) Shaw, with whom she had been making her home for the past year.
She seemed to rally from the first attack after the administration of restoratives, but in her weakened condition her heart gave out, gradually getting weaker until she expired.
Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. R. C. Crouch speaking words of comfort to the bereaved family of sons and daughters. Interment was made in the Sheldon Cemetery.
Bertha Caroline Friedricka Dahm, nee Voight, was born in Nawgardt (Naugard, Pomerania), Prussia (Germany) near Berlin, on 4 July 1849 to Carl and Henriette Voight. She died at Sheldon, North Dakota, December 11, 1915, being a little more than 66 years of age. At the age of 17, she immigrated with her parents and a sister, Amelia Auguste Emilie Albertine Schossow, nee, Voight, to America, settling near Wausau, Wisconsin. On 7 Feb 1869, she married John Stephen Theodore Dahm by an Evangelical Lutheran minister in the Village of Wausau. John Dahm preceded her in death 24 years ago.
The Dahm family came to North Dakota in 1881, settling in Cass County, northeast of Sheldon, where they resided several years when they removed to Sheldon to engage in the hotel business.
Bertha was one of the pioneers of Sheldon, conducting the Dahm Hotel at the east end of Main Street for several years. This hotel was well known to the traveling public and here it was that many of our citizens were cared for on their arrival in Sheldon in pioneer days.
To this union thirteen children were born, eight of who are still living. They are Gust & wife, Florence, nee Schossow of Summitt, Idaho; Otto & wife Lily, nee Weymouth, of Strome, Alberta, Canada; Robert, John and George here; Mrs. Harold S. (Emma) Jewell, of Zenith, ND; Mrs. Martin (Anna) Kaspari, of Enderlin; and Mrs. Wanzo (Marguerite) Shaw, of Sheldon. Beside her children, she leaves three sisters and two brothers, one sister, Mrs. Henry (Amelia) Schossow, of Alice, being present at the funeral. The children living at a distance were unable to arrive in time to attend the obsequies.
To her the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubles dream, she has awakened to see life's endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the vcast throng of loved ones, missing from earth, safe about her. Her home instincts were strong here in this fevered world of disappointment. Her affection for friends and kin was tender and abiding.
Among us all she ranked always as a woman of culture, refinement, sympathy, a kind neighbor, devoted mother and a true friend, and withal a woman of heroic mold in bravely meeting the stern requirements and often the disappointments of life.
