The Nelson Gazette (Nelson, NE), Thursday, April 4, 1918; pg. 1
Andrew Jackson Norwood was born December 28, 1852, in Indiana; died at his home north of Nelson, Wednesday, April 3, at ten fifty a.m. He was the son of Nathaniel and Martilda (sic) Norwood, pioneer residents of this county who have preceded him in death many years ago. He was one of a family of eight children of which three brothers and one sister survive, being Thomas of California, Nathaniel of Wisconsin, Frank of Iowa, and the sister Mrs. Carrie Adamson of Nora.
In early childhood he moved with his parents to Iowa. From there he went to Missouri, where on January 13, 1874, he was united in marriage with Miss Emmeline (sic) Mercer who with the children and grand children survive him. The child are: Frank of Nelson, Roy of Clay county (sic), Jennie (Mrs. Ralph Campbell) of Central City; Eunice (Mrs. J.M. Teel) of Pine Bluffs, Ark.; Nannie (Mrs. O.M. Dehart) of Central City; Clara (Mrs. Clayton Basey) of Slver (sic) Creek; and Chester, Elmer and Clarence who resided at home. All were home during his last hours. There are also twenty grand children and one great grand child to mourn his death.
The deceased and his wife came to this county in 1879 and endured the privations and hardships of the early settler, dying on the farm which was his home for nearly forty years. Andy, as he was known among his old friends, was known for his willingness to lend a hand and help whenever he could. He united with the U.B. church (sic) several years ago, giving utterance of his faith and belief only a short time before his death, assuring his family that the way was clear, nothing to fear. In early winter he was taken with pneumonia from which he died. Through his long illness he was always patient, and was planning for the future. Our loss is his gain. A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled.
The funeral will likely be held on Friday from the U.B. church (sic) north of Nelson.
