Following from The Faribault Republican Newspaper of 21Apr1916 Friday, page 6 column 2.
Mrs. Anna Nestaval Kaisersatt, wife of County Auditor Kaisersatt, died Thursday evening at the sanitarium at Pokegama, where she has been a patient for the last six months. She had been ill with a serious throat trouble for two or three years. Everything possible had been done, but nothing availed. Leaves little daughter motherless. For a year the family had been apprehensive that she could not recover, it being feared that she could not overcome the malady which resisted the best medical skill that could be procured, and it having been found no climatic change was beneficial. In recent weeks it was apparent that she could not long survive, and a month ago Mr. Kaisersatt and her father and mother were called to her bedside. She rallied, and was better for a little time, but within the last week no hope was held out. Mr. Kaisersatt received a message barely in time to catch the 11:40 Milwaukee train Thursday, but it was not known whether he reached his destination before her death or not. About 9 o'clock Thursday night he phoned the sad news back to Faribault.
Mrs. Kaisersatt was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nestavel [sic], who live near Montgomery. Both father and mother survive, and there are six sisters, one brother and one step-brother. The sisters are Mrs. Thomas Skluzacek of Lonsdale, Mrs. Elizabeth Hubbard, who has been in Faribault during the past winter, and the Misses Rose, Beatrice, Stella, and Genevieve. Edward lives near Montgomery and the step-brother, Frank Nestaval, lives at Salida, Colorado. Mrs. Kaisersatt leaves, besides her husband, one little daughter, Harriet, who has been staying with her grandparents since the mother's absence from home. J.F. McCarthy went to Pokegama Friday morning, and with Mr. Kaisersatt, will accompany the body to Faribault. They are expected to arrive Friday night, and announcement of the funeral will be made Saturday. Burial will be made at Maple Lawn.⁷

Pokegama Tuberculosis Sanatorium was located on the outskirts of Pine City, Minnesota. "Pokegama catered to patients who could pay their own way. Rates per week ranged from $30 to $50. When the county sanatoriums opened, their rates ranged from free for the indigent person to $7 for those who could pay. Pokegama also furnished electric blankets for each bed, rather than the five to 10 woolen blankets issued at the county institutions".
