W. T. Nelson, Dies

Mr. W. T. Nelson died at the home of his kinsman W. O. Crawley last Sunday evening from the effects of a stroke of paralysis sustained about nine days before.  He was buried at the cemetery here on Sunday afternoon following a short service conducted at the grave by Rev. W. M. Winn, pastor of the Methodist church.

Mr. Nelson was married about twelve years ago to Miss Ellen Finley and was a native of North Carolina.  He leaves no relatives in this section by blood, but his last hours were made as comfortable as possibly by the kind and willing hands of Mr. Crawley and his family.
