THE SAD DEATH OF HENRY NELSON
A terrible accident happened last Saturday morning which resulted in the untimely death of Henry Nelson, an old resident and highly respected citizen, whose home is about six miles north-east of Carson.
As near as can be ascertained Mr. Nelson was leading a critter to the pasture, and after getting into the inclosure, was attacked by the animal and gored, resulting in death.
The news of the death of Mr. Nelson shocked with pain and sorrow the whole community. He was upon our streets the day previous to his death, greeting his friends with a happy smile, and now all that is mortal of our friend and citizen is at peaceful rest in our silent city.
None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have stood by a loved one whose life has been extinguished by brute force, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. There is no language at our command by which we can assauge the feelings of the dear ones bereft of his guidance. He was a men full of energy, and always extended a cordial greeting, which won for him many friends. as the attendance at the funeral verifyed. His devotion to his loved ones and kindness to everyone will long linger as a fragrant memory in the home which his prersence brightened and is now darkened by his death, and the good report he was left behind will remain with us as a lasting treasure.
Reverend Fenton conducted the services at the church at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, preaching an eloquent and impressive sermon to the memory of the deceased. The casket was covered with the most beautiful floral designs, clustering around it were potted plants in bloom, mingling with the oppressive silence, which spoke peace, purity and immortality. The music rendered touched every heart at the close of the services as a large concouse of friends followed the sorrowing relatives to the cemetery to say "farewell."
"There is no death the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore
And bright in Heaven's jewelled crown
They shine forevermore."
Besides a devoted wife he leaves three sons and two daughters, a brother and three sisters to mourn his untimely death. Much has been taken away from the home circle and from the relatives and friends, dear ties have been severed, but much is left. The Christian's hope and the fadeless memories are still theirs. He rests in peace.
