Friday when the news came of the
sudden death of Mrs. j. X. Nelson of
Rochester. For a number of years
Mrs. Nelson served as station agent |
at the Waybourne depot, her husband
was section boss on the railroad Al |
though the little house in which the
family made their home, in those days,
lacked pleasing surroundings, the in
terror of the little home radiated with
love and hospitality and the family |
was often the center of many social
gatherings. A number of years ago
the family moved to Rochester, where
Mrs. Nelson conducted boarding and
rooming house. Many who were i'll
and in need of medical care atMayo
hospital, found in her home a haven
Of rest and comfort and even there,
she served as an angel of mercy in J
tightening the burden of disappoint-
ment and suffering. Mrs. Nelson
passed away very suddenly after an
illness of only few hours. Her life |
so full of so many self-sacrificing
deeds for others has served to leave
ever fresh, she has friends
here who will never forget her. Be-
sides her sorrowing husband, she |
leaves two daughters, Emma and Al !
