Anna Nelson (14 Aug 1883 – 11 Nov 1960)

Funeral services for Mrs. Anna Nelson, 77, were held from Salem Evangelical United Brethren church here (Dorchester, WI) Monday. The Rev Harold Welch officiated at the final rites at 2 PM.

Burial was in Dorchester Memorial Cemetery with Joe Dessl, Frank Stoiber, Cyril Decker, August Sauter, Otto Genrich, and Otto Froebel servings as pallbearers.

Mrs. Nelson died Nov. 11 at the home of her daughters in Chicago. She had been an invalid many years, and for the past 30 years had made her home with her daughters, Leone and Myrna.
Fuchsgruber Funeral Service had charge of local funeral arrangements and directed the burial. The local firm Monday morning fetched the deceased from Marshfield, where she had been sent by train from Chicago.

Anna Berry was born in Ironwood, Mich., the daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. John Berry. She and Nels Nelson were married here in 1902. They made their home here, and after his death she moved to Chicago to reside with her daughters.

Four daughters survive: Myrna and Leone Nelson of Chicago, Mrs. Lucille Bakke of DeForest, and Mrs. Eunice Mechelke of Beloit. Also surviving are four grandchildren, two great- grandchildren, and a sister Mrs. Luella Freezor, Antioch, Ill.
