In 1924, they moved to a farm near Lisbon where she attended Casey School through the fifth grade. The family moved to the Skaar, N.D., community in 1930 where Doris attended Gossett School through the eighth grade. She stayed in Sidney and graduated from Sidney High School while working for various families to earn money for school supplies. After graduation, Doris worked various places, including Bolte’s and Thiessen’s. In 1942, she taught at church school in the Four Mile community, northwest of Fairview. On July 29, 1943, Doris was united in marriage to Leif Borg at Zion Lutheran Church in Fairview. They farmed the Borg family farm until 1970, when they retired and moved to Sidney.
