Anna Christina Nelson, who resided with her mother about five miles northwest of town, succumbed to that dread disease, consumption, Monday, May 4, 1902. It seems so very sad to think that one just blooming into
womanhood as was Miss Nelson, being about twenty years of age, should be called away, though such is life. Miss Nelson was born in Warren County, Ill., October 1, 1881. In 1891 she, with her parents moved to this county, where she had grown to womanhood. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Lemme, pastor of the Lutheran church, and the interment was made in Evergreen cemetery.
