Hejinian, of Anamosa, and Dr. T.M. Redmond, of Monticello. Dr. Redmond was called to attend the accouchement, at midnight Tuesday. He found a malformation of the pelvis, and decided that the unusual surgical operation would have to be resorted to. The woman was therefore taken to the sanitarium early the next morning, the the operation was performed. The pretty baby is alive and healthy. The operation was a serious shock to the patient, but she began to show favorable symptoms of returning strength in the afternoon, and it is believed she will survive. Mrs. Siebels' name was Fannie Shaffer before her marriage. The operation is an unusual one, but not attended with the dangers there were before the advent of modern surgery. The operation derives its name from the manner of the bringing of Julius Ceaser into the world. SOURCE: THE MONTICELLO EXPRESS...DECEMBER 4, 1913...PAGE 4 CASTLE GROVE CASTLE GROVE, DECEMBER 3 Mrs. John Siebels died, at the sanitarium in Anamosa, last Saturday evening, from the effects of the operation mention in The Express, last week. On Sunday the remains were brought back to the home, made dark and desolate by the sad death of the young wife and mother. The deceased was a noble, kind hearted woman. For several years she followed the occupation of a dressmaker. Her work was always well done and her services were always in demand. This work took her into many of the homes in this and adjoining townships, and every one had a kindly word to speak of her whose acquaintanceship she formed. Johanna Schaffer was the daughter of John Schaffer, of this township. She was born in Germany, on January 16, 1881, and came to this county at an early age. While still quite young she embraced the Christian faith and was a devoted member of the Lutheran church. Last February she was united in marriage to John Siebels and the young couple moved onto a farm in the edge of Cass township where their brief period of wedded life was spent. Besides the grief stricken husband and baby daughter she leaves her aged father and a large circle of relatives to mourn her sad and untimely death. her funeral was held, at the Lutheran church, on Tuesday afternoon, and was very largely attended. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Naether, who took for his text, the passage,"I know that my Redeemer lives". The remains were laid to rest in the Prairie Hill cemetery.
