Jalmer Nelsen                (From the collection of Vivian Norby Andersen)

	The community was shocked and saddened last week upon learning of the 
sudden, untimely death of Jalmer Nelsen, 58, prominent farmer residing 
southeast of Soldier.
	Death came at the Onawa hospital late Wednesday night, November 25 
following a cerabral(sic) hemmorhage(sic) he suffered while working in his 
barn Wednesday forenoon.  His death was unexpected, although he had suffered 
some with arthritis the past several months.
	Jalmer was one of Soldier’s better farmers, and was especially fond of 
livestock.  He had always been active in community, township and church 
affairs and had held several offices in the township and church.
	Funeral services were held at soldier Lutheran Church Saturday, 
November 28 at 2 p.m. with Pastor Maynard Moen giving the sermon.  Burial was 
in Soldier Valley Cemetery under the direction of Pearson Funeral Home.  Mrs. 
Norman C. Hanson sang “I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say” and “I’m But a Stranger 
Here”, accompanied at the organ by Miss Janice Olson.  Pallbearers were Basil 
Gibbs, Oscar Foss, Orson Edmonds, Wilton McDole, Roy Swain and Ardel Savery.
	Jalmer Melvin Nelsen, son of John and Martha Nelsen, was born at 
Soldier, Iowa January 18, 1901 and died at the Onawa hospital November 25, 
1959 at the age of 58 years, 10 months and 7 days.
	He was baptized and confirmed at Soldier Lutheran Church.  On December 
15, 1923 he was united in marriage to Eunice Wingate.  To this union four 
children were born, all of whom survive.
	He attended the Soldier schools and had farmed all his life.
