Obituary from Valparaiso Visitor published Apr 3 1947: Louis Nelson was born to Anna and Nels Nelson on June 6, 1865 near Harby (Skone) Sweden, and departed from life March 24, 1947 at the home of his son, William, in Lincoln, at the age of 81 years, 9 months and 18 days.

He leaves to mourn his untimely departure, besides his wife, Minnie, 7 sons, Lexie of Greenwood, Alvin of Omaha, Lloyd of Raymond, Harry of Creston, Iowa, Herman of Valparaiso, William of Lincoln and Ed of Ithaca and 3 daughters, Mrs. Nannie Nelson of Raymond, Mrs. Bessie Spath of Malcolm and Mrs. Edna Carlson of Lincoln, 18 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Wednesday at 2 o'clock with Rev. A.C. Wischmeier officiating. Burial was in Valparaiso cemetery. Pallbearers were, Wm. Hyatt, Clarence Linch, Anton Rezac, Mike Bouc, Chas Carlson and Ed Jakoubek. I cannot say, and I will not say, That he is dead! He is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming, how very fair, It must be since he lingers there. And you- O you, who the wildest yearn, For the old time step and the glad return- Think of him faring on, as dear, In the love of There as the love of Here, Mild and gentle as he was brave, When the sweetest love of his love he gave. To simple things- there the violets grew, Pure as the eyes they were likened to, The touch of his hands have strayed, As revently as his lips have prayed, Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead-he is just away! -James Whitcomb Riley
