Piper had passed away suddenly that morning while still abed, at her home, corner of Park and Brooklyn Streets. The news seemed incredible for she was in her usual health the day before and attended the district convention of the Woman’s Relief Corps that evening. She retired for the night in apparently good health and about four o’clock the following morning her husband left the room. She also awoke and spoke to him. He returned to the room shortly after and was just falling asleep when he heard his wife moan. Turning on the light and going to her bedside he found that she was dead. He tried to restore her not realizing at that time that the end had come and then tried to call the doctor. While at the telephone trying to reach a physician Mr. Piper fainted but he soon revived and went to the R. W. Salter home nearby and also put in a call for the doctor. His wife’s death must have been instantaneous and apoplexy is given as the cause. Doris Jess, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jess was born in the town of New Holstein Feb. 14, 1869. She spent her youth and girlhood on the farm with her parents, acquiring a good education in the schools of New Holstein. On Dec. 6, 1887 she was united in marriage to John W. Piper at New Holstein and they made their home in that town, where they operated a cheese factory for two years then moved to the farm in the town of Charlestown known as the Sweetman farm on which they lived for twenty-three years. Later they purchased and moved onto the Hugh Goggins farm in the same town, operating the same until about five years ago when they built a home here and moved into it. Mrs. Piper was one of the well known and highly respected women of this section. She was associated with all the church and civic activities of the town and was also a foremost member of the Woman’s Relief Corps. She was a member of Trinity Presbyterian Church and the Woman’s Auxiliary of that congregation, doing excellent work for the advancement of both church and auxiliary. She was also a member of the Calumet Chapter of the Eastern Star in which order she was equally active; in fact it was impossible for her to associate herself with any movement or work in which she did not do more than her part. She was beloved by her neighbors who always found her ready and willing to assist them in trouble or need and the friends she drew to her are legion. She is survived by her husband and two sons, Edgar and George, both living on the homestead farm, two grandsons and one stepson, Harvey Piper of Milwaukee. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Wm Fowler of Everett, Wash., Mrs. Emily Suel of New Holstein, all whom are prostrated by her sudden death. The funeral will be held on Sunday at the home and at the Masonic Temple, where the burial service will be conducted under the auspices of the Calumet Chapter of the Order of Eastern Stars. Rev. L. W. Mestphal of Neenah, former pastor and a friend of the family will have charge of the services. She will be laid away in the family lot in the Breed cemetery. Chilton Times, November 5, 1922
