In the death of this esteemed lady, the community has met with a great loss. She possessed a most lovable disposition, and to her, life was a pleasure. Home to her was a haven of peace and contentment and the happy hours with her family were pleasantly wanted away. In her gentle way, wherever she went she made friends. While never been a member of any church, yet in your life's work and gentle, lovable manner, she was in every way a Christian.
The funeral services were held at the Valeda Church Sunday afternoon and the attendance was the evidence of the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Rev. Jas B Kelso of Edna, conducted the funeral services, after which, the remains were laid to rest, in the North Edna Cemetery."
Note: It is assumed that Nellie died in childbirth upon delivering her daughter Alice.
