Caught in Flywheel of Wood saw on Wils Presley Farm.
A most distressing accident ocurred Wednesday of last week, when Edwin D. Nelson, whose home is north of College Springs, was killed by a woodsaw accident. No one saw the accident, although several men were working nearby. The first his comrades knew they looked around and saw Mr. Nelson lying on the ground, in an unconscious condition, his head bruised so that he was beyond the help of the physicians hastily summoned. From the way his clothing was torn, it is supposed he started to adjust something about the gasoline engine that was running the saw, when the pocket in his jacket caught in the flywheel, taking him off his feet and causing the accident.
Mr. Nelson was a prosperous young farmer, greatly beloved by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and family on his farm, where his unmarried brother has also been living and making his home with them, the farm being located north of College Springs, between the Wils Pressley and Ted Dunbar farms. He also leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Nelson, whose home is in Essex. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 19, 1918

Nelson, Ellen Caroline Wilson - Ellen Caroline Wilson was born Oct. 19, 1847, near Morning Sun, Lee county, Iowa, and died at her home in Clarinda, Iowa, at the age of 72 years 3 months and 3 days.

Seven children were born to this union; two, Iona May and Harry Robertson having preceded their mother to the better land. In 1875 she moved with her husband to Conway, Iowa, where he was engaged in the butcher business. In August, 1882, they moved back to Clarinda where she lived up to the time of her death. At the age of twelve years she gave herself to Christ uniting with the Covenanter church. After their removal to Clarinda she united with the United Presbyterian church of which she was a loyal devoted member, never missing a Sabbath or week day service when possible to be present. At the time of her death she was a member of the Presbyterian church, but because of physical weakness was not able to take an active part in the work of the church. She was of a quiet, retiring disposition, but in her quiet unassuming manner has been a source of inspiration and strength to others. She was a neighbor in the truest meaning of the word, a loyal friend, a faithful wife, and a mother whose children rise up and call her blessed. She loved her Bible and reading it was a daily joy to her. She had realized for sometime that her days were numbered and had been setting her house in order. She made arrangements as for a pleasant
journey and when the summons came, met it quietly and unafraid, leaving behind the memory of a sincere Christian life and imparting faith in God.

Nelson, who lived in this district for twenty years, from 1872 until 1892. From here they moved to the mountains east of the St. Louis Valley. Mr. Nelson died there in 1899. The widow continued living with her son, Claud I. Nelson, who remained single and cared for his mother, their home being in Denver. A daughter also survives, Mrs. C. M. Danford. A short time ago she fell and broke her hip, which was a serious accident for a woman more than 76 years of age, and proved to be more than her frail health could withstand, and she departed this life on March 10th. The funeral was held Sunday, March 10th, from Dinger's chapel in Denver, the pallbearers being members of the Methodist church in Arvada, and was attended by many friends. Mrs. Nelson was born in Indiana in 1839, her maiden name being Murray. Moving to southwestern Iowa, when a young woman, she married Andrew Chappelle, at the beginning of the Civil War. Mr. Chappelle enlisted in the service of his country and was killed at Vicksburg. A daughter was born after the father went to war.

Mrs. William Nicoli.
The Black Hills Weekly Journal, published at Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 20, 1918, contained an account of the death of Mrs. Winnie Nicoli, formerly Miss Winnie Hevlin of Clarinda, whose death was, mentioned in The Clarinda Journal of Dec. 19. The Black Hills Journal above referred to says:—"Seldom have the force of The Journal office been so shocked as was the case yesterday when the word came that Mrs. Nicoli, wife of William Nicoli, pressman and job printer at The Journal office, was dead. Mr. Nicoli had been sick for a week, but Mrs. Nicoli although not feeling well for several days had only been seriously ill for a couple of days. She was very stout, and for that reason was an easy prey for the deadly influenza and pneumonia. It is probable that her care for her husband and little child was too much for her when she was not feeling quite as well as usual. As soon as she gave up, however, help was secured and she had good care until no more could be done. Winnie Hevlin was born Jan. 7, 1891, and was 26 years 10 months and 23 days old. She was born in Jasper county, Iowa, and later went to Omaha, from where she came to Rapid City in the fall or winter of 1913. She was a good musician and played that winter for the Princess. On March 14, 1914, she married William Nicoli of The Journal force, the two having been acquaintances before coming here.   The marriage was a very happy one, and the many friends of 'Nap,' as he is familiarly
called, have the deepest sympathy for him in the loss of his beloved wife and best of helpmeets. She was very brave in living on the ranch while he worked in town and they were getting a nice start. She came in ,from the ranch only about a month ago, and they were living in rooms over the Rapid City Lumber company. Besides her husband she leaves a dear little year old daughter, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hevlin, and two sisters, Mrs. C. A. Bennett and Miss Leona Hevlin, of Omaha. She united with the Christian church when she was 14 years of age.  A telegram was sent to her parents yesterday fornoon when it was learned that she could not live, and an answer was received from her father that he would start on the first train. Until he arrives no arrangements will be made for the funeral.

"Yesterday afternoon at Behren's Undertaking parlors occurred the funeral services for Mrs. William Nicoli, conducted by Rev. A. B. Claypoole. Flowers from the family and from the printing fraternity of Rapid City were suitably arranged, and the pall bearers were largely selected from Mr. Nicoli's office friends. They were C. L. Helton, Frank Carrier, F. J. McCarry, H. P. Parr, Elmer Rogers and L. S. Hamm. Music was furnished by a quartette compossed of Mr. and Mrs. L. S. .Hamm, Mrs. Andrew Hill and A. B. Claypoole, Miss Crittenden accompanying them on the organ. Interment was made in Mountain View cemetery." CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 2, 1919

Mr. Niday's mother was a sister of Jas Christopher of this city and the boys mother and father having both been taken from him when he was but a small child, he was reared in the homes of S. E. and Skip Stiverson in this city. He will be remembered as the Wabash brakeman, who, about a year ago, was shot and almost killed by a hobo on his run between Hamburg and St. Joe.

DIED IN ST. JOSEPH

Mrs. Ben Niday, Formerly Miss Georgia Baldwin, Being Brought Home of Burial.
News of the death of Mrs. Ben Niday in her home in St. Joseph on Monday came over the telephone to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Al Baldwin, about nine o'clock Monday evening. Mrs. Niday was formerly Miss Georgia Baldwin, having been brought up in Clarinda. For some time she has been ailing, from a trouble resembling Bright's disease. On the day she died her mother received a letter from her, and was thus unprepared to receive the sudden news of her death. Mrs. Baldwin and daughter went to St. Joe Wednesday morning, undertaker Roy Harmon also going Thursday morning to bring back the remains, expecting to arrive in Clarinda Thursday evening. At this writing it is not known what time the funeral will be held, but probably sometime Saturday.

Georgia Maude Baldwin Niday. Funeral services for Georgia Maude Baldwin Niday were held from the Methodist Episcopal church, Saturday, Jan. 6, 1917, at 10:30 o'clock a.m., conducted by the Rev. A. S. Woodard, pastor of that church. Interment was in the Clarinda cemetery.   The deceased was born in Clarinda on Dec. 29, 1891, and died at her home in St. Joseph, Mo., Wednesday, Jan. 3, 1917, being 25 years and 5 days of age at the time of her death.   She was married in St. Joseph, Mo., to Benjamin Niday on Dec. 1, 1910.   Following her marriage she made her home in St. Joseph, Mo. Previous to her death she had been ill for about two years with diabetes, but a severe attack of grippe was the immediate cause of her death.   The St. Joseph Gazette reported that her husband found her dead in bed when he returned to his home, but such was not the case, as he was home when she was taken ill and was there constantly till her death.    Undertaker  Roy E. Harmon   went to   St. Joseph and brought the body to Clarinda. Besides her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Baldwin of Clarinda, and her husband, Ben Niday, the deceased is survived by two sons,   Benjamin Baldwin Niday and Delbert Newton Niday, aged four and three years, respectively.   Mr. Niday expects to leave the children in Clarinda for the present with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin.   Mr. Niday himself is not in very good health.  There are still within his body three bullets, which were shot into him by a tramp on Dec. 7, 1915, when Mr. Niday was in regular pursuit of his duties as a brakeman on a Burlington Route freight train, the shooting occurring   near   Hamburg.    It   was thought that these bullets would not cause him trouble, but one of them has been causing him much trouble lately.  He expected to go to St. Joseph this morning, have another X-ray picture taken of the bullets and then return to Clarinda, after which he would return to St. Joseph for a surgical operation, which he hopes will succeed in removing the bullets, although it will be a very serious operation.   Mr. Niday and his children and the parents of the deceased have the sympathy of their many friends at this time of bereavement.

Shenandoah World: After three weeks of suffering, Mrs. Agnes Nies passed away at her home, 812 East street, Thursday at 8:15 p. m., almost three weeks to a minute from the time she was taken with the sickness which at last caused her death. Death was caused from a complication of diseases which started with a cold, from which bronchitis developed and afterwards Bright's disease, from which she could obtain no relief. Had she lived until February 9 she would have been 68 years of age, and on account of her advanced age she was made still further unable to withstand the disease which had fastened itself upon her. During her illness she had suffered much, especially at the last but now she is free from all suffering and it may be after all that it is best. All of the children except W. H. Nies, who lives at Milwaukee, were with her when the end came. They are: J. B. Nies, Clarinda; W. H. Nies, Milwaukee; F. G. Nies, Pawnee,Okla., Lewis, D. E. and R.

Charles C. Nies
It was a shock to the many friends of the family of Mrs. Myrtle Nies to learn Sunday afternoon that her son Charles C.

Charles was a thoroughly good boy, being blessed with a cheerful disposition and had habits of industry more than usual for a boy of his age. He has recently been the delivery boy at Clarinda postoffice for special delivery packages,  and was always at his post when the mail arrived at the postoffice from the station.   He was popular with his schoolmates,   standing   well   in his classes,  with the promise of a useful and perhaps brilliant career ahead.
The funeral was held from the family residence 213 W, Chestnut Street, Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'­clock.

One of Twins Dies.

The New Market Herald reports the death, Tuesday, Feb. 18, 1919, of the twin baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Noble of that place. The child died of pneumonia. His twin sister was reported very low with the same disease. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 27, 1919

Yesterday morning the startling news was circulated that Wm. H. Nolan, a traveling man, had committed suicide at his home in Shenandoah about 11 o'clock yesterday morning by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. Mr. Nolan had been having some trouble with his wife, and previous to this she had filed divorce proceedings in court and the case was tried in court here last Wednesday, and in which she was granted a divorce and given the custody of her two children, and as alimony she was to have the household goods. She left Clarinda Wednesday night and returned to her home in Shenandoah. Yesterday morning she went to the house and had a talk with her husband and then went into the house to begin packing up the furniture but before she had been about the work more than a couple of minutes she heard the shot of a pistol and running to the door, she saw her husband raise the revolver to his head and fire the second shot. The first shot took effect in his left side near the heart, but as it did not do the work instantly, he raised the gun to his temple and fired a second time, the result being almost instant death.
Friends of Mr. Nolan say that he had been contemplating this act for several weeks, but his changeable nature probably caused him to delay the awful deed until the news of this action had been given to him by his wife. It is said that Mr. Nolan was generally a pretty good sort of a man to get along with, and even treated his wife with respect and courtesy on the morning of their last talk. He had his life insured for $2000 and before ending his life he had this matter so arranged that his children were to get the benefit of the insurance. It is very probable that the thought of being separated from his children had a great deal to do in hastening this rash act, as the man seemed to think a great deal of them.

Glen Franklin Nordberg was born Sept. 12th, 1912 and died Dec. 14th, 1918, age 6 years, 3 months and 2 days. He was the only child of John and Leah Nordberg and was the joy and pride of his parents. His mother, Mrs. Leah Nordberg departed this life on Oct. 4th, 1916, and little Glen, being motherless, was brought to the home of his mother's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Willison where he was tenderly cared for until last summer when his father took him to his own home near Norwich. The week before his death, he contracted the flu which resulted in pneumonia causing his death. Little Glen, child that he was, was often heard to express the wish that he might go to Mamma and the Jesus she had taught him to love.
Rev. Woodard of Shenandoah held short services in the yard at the Nordberg home at 2.30 P. M. Sunday, then the little form was taken to the Clarinda cemetery and after prayer there by Rev. M. M. Cable, he was laid to rest by the side of his mother. During his illness he was tenderly nursed and cared for by his grandmother, Mrs. Willison, until she too became a victim of the flu and had to be taken to her own home. So that she as well as the childs father who also had the flu were unable to accompany the body to the grave.
Besides his father and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Willison, he leaves an aunt, Mrs. Harry Goeker and family and one uncle, Franklin Willison.

"Man's way is hard and sin beset;
Many must fall, but few can win. Thanks, dear Saviour, our Glenine is safe,
Safe from sorrow and safe from sin.
For well meet the man in the world's rude din, Who hath outlived his mother's kiss Who hath forsaken her love for sin. And we will be spared here pain in this."
A friend.

Two Are Killed, Five Injured, Near Westboro, Mo.
Blanchard State Line Herald, Aug. 14: One of the most distressing accidents in the history of this vicinity took place last Friday night when a Ford car containing seven boys was struck by the Burlington train at the Bartlett crossing, three miles south of Westboro.
Houston Nuckolls, the 15-year-old son of Mrs. Dolly Nuckolls, was instantly killed, and Morrell Johnson, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson, died about 1:45 that night. All the others were more or less injured. George Wilson, son of Mrs. Dilly, wife of the section boss at Westboro, was the most seriously hurt, his skull being fractured. A special train was rushed from St. Joseph and took him to the hospital at that place that night. Jack Crawford, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Crawford, had a shoulder broken and was cut about the head. Rankin Bain, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bain, had a leg broken and was cut on the head; his brother Merton Bain, got off with a scalp wound, and his cousin, Alfred Bain, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bain of Elmo, also escaped with slight injuries.

Houston Nuckolls, Merton and Wilred Bain were in the front seat of the auto, the other four in the rear seat. The crossing where the accident occurred is a bad one, and timber and weeds obstruct the view, making it almost impossible to see an approaching train. The boys were returning from Tarkio, where they had gone to see a ball game.
