Died.--At his residence near this city, of Brights Disease, on Sunday morning,
June 26th, Mr. Nels NELSON, aged 34. Mr. N. was born in Denmark and emigrated to
this country in 1865, locating in Wisconsin, and from there moved to Kansas in
1867, taking up a homestead adjoining what is now the city of Greenleaf, where
he has made himself a pleasant home, surrounding his family with all the
comforts of farm life. He was a sober, industrious citizen and a member of the
Baptist church. He leaves a wife and five small children to mourn his untimely
death. The funeral took place at the school house in this city in the afternoon
of the same day of his death. Elder Trumbell preached the funeral sermon, and
his remains were followed to its last resting place by many of our citizens. He
had given up all hope of recovery some time since and had made every arrangement
in reference to his business that he deemed necessary before he departed.
