AI NELSON

  On Saturday afternoon at his home in Logan township near Gardner's 
Mill, Mr. Ai Nelson, a much respected resident of the township, and who 
was well and favorably known in this city, died of diphtheria or 
membraneous croup, aged about 43 years.  Mr. Nelson had not been in 
good health for several years past, but was in the city during the 
earlier part of the week.  He was by occupation a farmer and had been 
quite successful as such.  Beside his wife he is survived by one son 
and one daughter.  He was a member of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal 
church and much interested in the work.  The funeral occurred yesterday 
afternoon and was largely attended.  The interment was made in the 
Asbury cemetery.  After the services at the grave, which were in charge 
of Rev. Samuel Blair of the Epworth church, the relatives and friends 
went into the church where further services were held, conducted by the 
same minister.
