J. M. NELSON DEAD
John M. Nelson died this morning at 4 o'clock at his home, 517 Congress street, after a short sickness. Mrs. Nelson was taken suddenly sick the first of this week while at his place of business in the Baird building, where he has been disposing of the stock of the J. H. Griffith Hardware Company. Three daughters, Mrs. Jas. Masters, Bartlesville, Okla., Mrs. Seamans, of Udall, Kan., and Miss Floy Nelson, of Emporia, and one son, survive him. Mr. Nelson was 62 years old and a member of the Masons and the G.A.R. These orders will probably have charge of the funeral services, which will be held Sunday afternoon at the home.
