ROY W. NELSON

Funeral services for Roy W. Nelson, 62, of Norfolk were held Monday 
afternoon at the Church of Christ at Magnet. Burial was at the Magnet Cemetery.

Mr. Nelson was found dead by relatives in the garage of his home Thursday 
evening October 31. The Madison County Coroner and Attorney Milton Ellwood 
said there was evidence that he had apparently taken his own life. His health 
had been poor for some time.

Born December 13, 1906 at Shenandoah, Iowa to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nelson, he 
moved to the Magnet area 55 years ago. He farmed near Magnet until moving to 
Norfolk about a year ago.

Survivors include his wife the former Ethel Lackas of Norfolk; three children 
John of Vanadium, N. Mex., Stewart of Norfolk and Mrs. Marilyn Arnold of David 
City; his mother Mrs. Anna Nelson of Malvern, Iowa; one brother Col. Harry Nelson 
of Denver, CO, two sisters, Mrs. Phil Axelson of Oakland and Mrs. Rene Remmers of 
Malvern, Iowa; eight grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his father.
