News of Interest from St. Charles

Arthur Nicoson, 48, of Rolfe, passed away at the hospital in Iowa City Wednesday, July 27th. He had been in the hospital at Fort Dodge 329 days, recovering from burns received when a pan of floor wax he was melting on the stove ignited and flamed over him. Only a few weeks ago he was dismissed from the hospital there, and sent home believing he would fully recover. However in a few days, he had a relapse, and became critically ill, and was rushed to the Iowa City hospital where he passed away. He was janitor of the large school building at Rolfe, and was engaged in waxing the floors when the accident occurred. Mr. Nicoson was industrious, and well liked by all who knew him.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Mildred Beck of Armstrong, three sons, Merrill of Armstrong, Mack of Rolfe, and Bobby at home, and one granddaughter. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Margaret Nicoson and one sister, Mrs. Ilo Chandler, both of near Mitchellville, two brothers, Angus of Chicago, and Sam of near Rolfe.

Funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon at the Methodist church by Rev. E. L. Patterson, with the six member of the school board at Rolfe serving as pallbearers.
