"In Memoriam," From Ottumwa semi-weekly courier., Friday, December 01, 1916, Image 8:
Mrs. Elise Montagne was a daughter of Ludwig Wilhelm Dinklage and his wife Johanna Friederike, nee Eifert, and was the oldest of seven children. She was born September 20, 1844, at Edewecht, am Westerstede, Grossherzogtum, Oldenburg, Germany. Her father was by trade a butcher. She was baptized in the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost soon after her birth, in the Lutheran church. After having reached the necessary age she attended the Volks Schule at Edewecht and in ber fourteenth year, after due instruction by the pastor, she was confirmed at the altar of the Lutheran church, renewing thereby her baptismal vows and promising faith to her God and Saviour until death. What she has promised she kept unto her end, having remained true to her church and to her faith. In 1873 our friend emigrated to America, in company with her her older sister, Wilhelmine. They arrived at Lyons, Iowa, where their older brother Frederick Dinklage resided. At Lyons, according to the grace of God, she found him with whom she was to go through this life side by side, Henry Montagne, who had
arrived from from Edewecht in 1872, and to whom she was united in marriage by the Lutheran pastor at Lyons on Sunday evening, February 25, 1877. The next day, February 26, 1877 the newly married couple arrived in Ottumwa and at once took up their residence on a farm two miles south of the city, which Mr. Montagne had bought on September 15, 1876. God's blessings entered with them into their new home and rested upon their German industry, frugality and piety. The German proverb: "An Gottes Segen lst Alles gelegen" came to be true with them. On November 28, 1877 a son Henry, was born to them, but on the 21st of January, 1878 it pleased God to take the child unto Himself. On August 25, 1880, the Lord gave them a second child, Louis, who is now in deep sorrow over the loss of so good a mother.
In 1886 Mr. and Mrs. Montagne together with their six-year-old boy Louis, made a visit to the fatherland and enjoyed the fortune of seeing their parents and friends and the places of their childhood. They arrived there the day after Christmas and returned again to Ottumwa early in the spring of 1887. In 1908 Mr. Montagne made the trip the second time. Meanwhile they had made up their mind to take life easier, after years of struggle and hard labor, and to take up their residence at Inglewood, California. They left Ottumwa on December 29, 1909 and soon began to feel perfectly at home there. They enjoyed the best of health and soon had a large cirlce of friends around them. During the summer months, however, they would come back to their old Ottumwa homestead. This was also carried out this fall. They arrived here October 16, hale and hearty and enjoyed visiting their old friends and acquaintances. Planning to return soon to California Almighty God changed these plans, according to the German proverb: "Der Mensch denkt und Gott lenkt." On Wednesday morning, November 22, 1916 at 9 o'clock in the morning Mrs. Montagne began to feel bad, she took to bed, and no one in the family, not even herself, had a thought that the sickness was of a serious nature. On Friday morning at 8:30 November 24, she passed away, peaceably, though unexpectedly, being shortly before seen by her husband, her son Louis and his wife Clara. Very proabably [sic] a heart stroke being the cause of her death. She had reached the biblical age of 72 years, 2 months and 4 days. She leaves to mourn her loss the grief-stricken husband with whom she lived most happily together for almost forty years; also one son Louis and one grandson Otto, as well as a brother, William Dinklage of this city, and a very large circle of relatives, friends and acquaintances by whom she was loved and highly esteemed.
Mrs. Montagne was a woman of true sterling character, a most dutiful wife, kind hearted mother and a staunch friend. While they lived here she was a regular attendant at the services of the German Lutheran church as well as at the Lord's table. By her visits at the parsonage she became as it were a "house friend" and never paid us a visit without bringing something to cheer us. These acts of kindness shall never be forgotten in our family circle. May she now rest in peace after a life of labor and sorrow.
The funeral was held from the Montagne home on Monday afternoon. The services were conducted by her former pastor, the Rev. John Haefner, now located at Muscatine. He preached a sermon in German on the text found in Luke 19:30, and gave an English address basing his remarks on John 11: 25.– Contributed by a friend.
