According to her marriage record, Theresa Heid was the adopted daughter of John and Christina Heid. She was born in 1871. On October 21, 1903, Theresa Heid married George Dolch, a widower. The marriage was officiated by Rev. J.G. Ennslin.
Sadly, Mrs. Theresa Heid Dolch died on February 2, 1907, at the age of 35. A lengthy obituary for Mrs. Dolch appeared in the February 4, 1907 issue of the Sandusky Register. It read in part:
"In the death of Theresa Heid Dolch Sandusky loses one of its noblest women. Possessed with a bright and sunshiney disposition, she made friends wherever she went and a friend once found was never lost. She was esteemed and beloved by all for her many lovable and sterling qualities. Ever ready to assist where help was needed, or bring sunshine and gladness to a sorrowing or lonely heart, her presence will be sadly missed by a great circle of friends, but her memory will ever remain bright and beautiful and her good deeds and kind, loving words will ever remain an inspiration for others to continue in the good work...None knew her but to love her, none saw her but to praise."
Mrs. Dolch died after suffering from pneumonia. She was laid to rest in Sandusky's Oakland Cemetery. Two children who had died as infants are also honored on her tombstone. Rev. Ennslin, who had married Theresa and George Dolch, also officiated at the funeral services for Theresa Dolch.
