Read More	Joseph Fredrick Lee, youngest of 13 children, was born to Francis and Mary Ann Lee on Nov. 7, 1866 in Mascatine Island, Ia. He passed away at the Brodstone hospital (sic) in Superior Sept. 9, 1957 at the age of 90 years, 11 months and 2 days. When he was 8 years of age the family moved to a homestead located 6 miles north and 3/4 mile east of Nelson, where he grew to manhood. In 1890 he was married to Emily Steele, who passed away in 1895. In 1900 he met and married Ida Maude Kelly of Eldorado Springs, Mo. To this union one daughter was born. In 1906 the family moved to a farm 1 1/2 miles east of Nelson where they lived until 1946, when they moved into Nelson on account of his wife's health. For over 20 years, starting in 1908, Mr. Lee served Nelson as their whistling milk man. He neaver failed, rain, hail or shine to make his deliveries, beginning in 1908 with 10 gallon can, measuring cups and a bell. Then came the glass bottles, the whispering of pasteurization and paper cartons. In 1935 his five grandchildren came to make their home with their grandparents. He was never too tired to read the funnies or tell tales of the olden days, such as his first means of locomotion - a donkey, plowing corn with a team of Cherokee oxen, and the joys of life in a dugout. His hobbies were writing poretry of which he leaves quite a collection, and the planting of fruit trees. Mr. Lee was always very interested in the workings of our government. From an early age he was a faithful church worker, always willing to put his shoulder to the wheel wherever his church needed help. He was preceded in death by his parents, 12 brothers and sisters, his wife, Ida Lee, one grandson, Max, who lost his life on the Arizona, and one great grandson, Sammy Lee Peery. He leaves to mourn his passing one daughter, Verna, of Nelson; one foster son, Edwin Ady, of Glendale, Ariz.; four grand children, Robert Peery of Lincoln; Lawrence of San Fernando, Calif., Helen Papenhagen of Hastings and Betty Schlief (sic) of Nelson; and four foster grandchildren, Ann, Lois Lee, Gloria and John Ady of Glendale, Ariz. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 at the Presbyterian church (sic) in Nelson by the Reverend Henry Warren, pastor. Burial was in the Nelson cemetery (sic).
