      Der Nord Westen, 22 Aug 1907
      MADS ORNES
      Sudden death during the night from Saturday to Sunday took the life of Mads Ornes, a well-known resident of our city. Ornes, who had suffered with rheumatism for a long time but did not let it lower his spirits, went to bed Saturday evening but was unable to sleep and was still awake at midnight. The death must have come shortly thereafter. No one in his family had any warning of his passing until they tried to wake him Sunday morning. Ornes, who was born in Norway, came to Manitowoc in 1870 and has resided here ever since. He was 70 years of age and is survived by his sorrowing widow and 4 children. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon.

      Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, August 19, 1907 P1
      DEATH CAME WITH NO WARNING
      Mads Ornes, Aged Resident of the City, Dies During Night's Sleep. Death's summons was unexpected and came suddenly and without warning to Mads Ornes, one of the city's best known residents, who was found dead in bed Sunday morning by members of the family. Mr. Ornes whose family home is on N. Tenth street, had retired early Saturday evening but had been unable to sleep and at midnight he was awake. Death must have occurred sometime after that hour, and was not discovered until the family called him for the morning. Mr Ornes had been a sufferer from rheumatism for some time and while his condition was not serious there has always been the danger that the heart might be affected, and this is what resulted and caused death. Mr Ornes was a native of Norway and was married there 50 years ago, the golden wedding celebration having been held Feb 19, this year.
      Coming here in 1870, Mr Ornes was for years engaged as a ship carpenter and was well known. Mrs Ornes and four children survive, being Mrs C Pugh, Catherine and John, of Minneapolis and Fred of Mt Vernon, Wash. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from the late home to the First Norwegian Lutheran church, 8th and State street and interrment (sic) will be at Evergreen.
