The death of Mrs. Louisa Nessley occurred last Saturday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Conn, in Hartley. Mrs. Nessley had been making her home with Dr. Conn and family here for the past several years and has a host of friends and acquaintances who will be deeply grieved to learn of her death. She had recently been visiting with a daughter, Mrs. Morris Seeley, at Fairbury, Neb., and was taken sick while there. Mrs. Conn went to Fairbury and her mother accompanied her home. After a short time she recovered from her sickness, but was taken sick again, after a week of convalescence from which she died at the time stated. A son from Moline, Ill., J. H. Nessley, and Mr. and Mrs. Morris Seeley, of Fairbury, Neb., arrived Saturday evening, and together with Dr. Conn and family accompanied the remains to Cedar Rapids on the Sunday afternoon train. The remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground at that place Monday. She was 67 years and 27 days old, and aside from the sickness of the past few weeks had enjoyed very good health. Her death was quite sudden, and the cause of sincere mourning by the relatives and friends.
