MRS. NELSON FOUND DEAD ON TUESDAY

Mrs. Emma Nelson, widow of the late Isaiah Nelson, was found dead in bed at her home on Second Street Tuesday morning. The body was found by a grandson, Robert Nelson, when he called at the home.

The county coroner was called, and said Mrs. Nelson died of a heart attack sometime late Monday. She had called on Elizabeth Worrell, a neighbor, Monday afternoon.

Mrs. Nelson had been a resident of this township most of her life. With her husband she resided on a farm south of Farrville until his death several years ago. Since that time she resided at Farrville, coming to Van Buren more than a year ago.

The remains were taken to the home of a son, Wilbert Nelson, of near Farrville. A daughter, Mrs. Guy Kilander of Wells County, also survives. A son, Clyde, died a few years ago.

Burial was in Farrville Cemetery.

[Emma was born Sarah Emma Davis, daughter of William L. Davis and Mary Jane Williams. Sister of Heath Davis.]
