Alfred Norman Nubson, son of Christopher and Marit Lindelien Nubson, was
born on September 4, 1889 at the Nubson home in Cedar Township, Mitchell
County, IA.  He died on May 29, 1935, the cause of death being strangulated
croup.

entire life was spent in the Rock Creek Lutheran community.

At he age of four, his father died and at age 16 he took charge of the
farm, at which time his brother, Nels, left for Dakota.  Alfred has always
been a faithful standby in the parental home, and was much needed at this
time by his aged mother, to whom he has always shown so much consideration.

He leaves to cherish his memory his mother; one brother, Nels, of
Carrington, ND; six sisters: Mrs. Lauritz (Rachel) Norby, Mrs. Harold
(Anne Marie) Fosholdt, Mrs. Carl (Martha) Field, Mrs. Gunia Ask, all
of this vicinity, and Lena and Alma at home.  Three nephews, three
nieces, and one grandniece also survive him.

Alfred was a faithful son, a kind brother, a good neighbor, and a loyal
friend.  He will be greatly missed but not forgotten.

The Rev. O.C. Myhre at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church conducted funeral
services on June 3, 1935.  Interment was in the Rock Creek Lutheran
cemetery.
