ALBERT J. NELSON

Albert J. Nelson died late Thursday afternoon at the Iowa Sanitarium after an illness of about five months. Just before Christmas, Mr. Nelson was taken quite seriously sick and several operations have been performed to relieve him of his trouble. He gradually grew weaker till death relieved him of his suffering. Mr. Nelson came here about two years ago, buying the Selz Shoe store of Baxter & Nelson, and has enjoyed a prosperous business.

Mr. Nelson was a good citizen, honest and upright in his dealings with the public, and made many friends who sincerely regret that death should claim him as he was just in the prime of life.

Short funeral services will be held from the home this afternoon at four o'clock and then the body will be taken in the morning to Atlantic, where funeral services will be held tomorrow. Rev. Fred Ross Schirck will go with the family to conduct the services.

Mr. Nelson leaves a wife and three children and other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
