Obituary

Anna Caroline Nelson was born to the parents, Thomas and Elizabeth Nelson in Dane county, Wis., Feb. 17, 1859, and died at the home of her daughters, Mrs. Elma Thompson and Maybelle Danielson, Omaha, Neb., June 8, 1935, age 76 years, 3 months and 22 days.

When Anna was about 5 years of age the family moved to Grinnell, Iowa, and about two years later they moved to Polk county, Iowa, where they remained. Anna was baptized into Christ Jesus in infancy, received instruction and confessed her Christian faith in her youth.

In 1883 she came to Wright county which has since been her home. On the 14th day of March 1893, she was united in marriage to Samson Danielson. Mr. and Mrs. Danielson lived on their farm home near Eagle Grove, where Mr. Danielson passed away from this life on Nov. 12, 1902. Four children were born to this union, viz; Elma, McKinley, Maybelle and Carlyle.

She is also survived by six grandchildren and two brothers, viz: Walter Nelson, Elmore, Minn., and Will Nelson, Fairmont, Minn., and by one sister, Mary Nelson, Slater, Iowa, and by an unusually large number of friends.
