From Special Correspondent
Rockland, Oct. 6-Our community
was deeply shocked Monday morning
to hear of the sudden death of Mrs.
Paul Nelson which occurred about half
past six O'Clock. Sunday morning Mrs.
Nelson visited her daughter, Mrs. John
Eliason returning to her home during
the evening and was apparently in her
usual good health. She retired at the
usual hour and rested we'll the entire
night until she awakened in the
morning at which time she asked for a
drink of water, she strangled some and
could not swallow, followed in. about
half hour with death. Mrs. Nelson was
born in Sendal, Wenssysel Denmark,
February 10, 1888. She became a
member of the L. D. S. church and
married in her native land, Paul Nelson
who survives her. With her husband
she came to America in 1884 living at
Collinston for several years, then
moving to Brigham City from which
place the family came to Rockland
some time during the early 90's, al
which place they have resided ever
since. Mrs. Nelson is survived By hel
husband, five sons and one daughter
all of whom are among our best citizens
The funeral exercises were held in the
L. D. S. church on Wednesday at one
O'Clock p. m.
There is a proposition on for some
buildings, well, that looks good.
Tom Barnard and his good old swell
running nag, did plenty to the platens
from abroad. Old 10 is still good one.
Bishop May conducted the services
at the funeral of Mrs. Paul Nelson. A
very large number of the old friends
were present.
1t is expected that the Landing Pres.
byterian church will soon be put or
firm basis. The estimated cost is fig,
ured at S2l00 or thereabouts.
Horace Howard and Miss Pearl, the
daughter of Hiram Walker, were mar.
ried in the Salt Lake City temple Tues
day. Our congratulations are extended.
Emil Alec was at home for few days.
We understand that he is offering his
immense herds of sheep for sale. Mr..
Alec is anxious to 60 into active bust.
ness and yet be always at home. So he
will again take look over one or two
propositions now in view and act prompt
ly, if everything moves properly.
The Masons are jubilant over the
idea that a homing place is to be estab-
lish at the Falls. There are quite a
number of good visiting plain broad
men in this vicinity who would be GLAD
of an opportunity to borrow little
sticking stuff like cement or Boston tea
for minute or an Albert Pike plaster
dated 1884.
Complaints are being entered regard
ing the cesspools, vessels and other
little impediments that accumulate
around the premisis of people who
through forgetfulness allow such stuff
to accumulate, so it would be a gooc
idea that the outhouses, barns, pens OF
whatever other places where such ma
terial is liable to gather be immediate.
ly cleaned up and in places thoroughly
disinfected for very prompt measures
have been suggested.
We are in favor of building up a towr
