Nelson community was sorrow stricken Monday evening when news came from Grand Island that Bobbie Adamson had passed away. The boy had been ailing for some two weeks before and ten days ago he was taken to the hospital in Grand Island for treatment for pneumonia. Hopes were held out for his recovery, but in spite of all that was done through medical aid and the care of loved ones, he fell victim to this dread disease.

He was born on the farm two and a half miles southeast of Nelson, and five years ago he with the family moved to their present home northeast of Nelson. He passed through the grades in the rural school, and entered high school in Nelson in the fall of 1934, completing one year.

He leaves to mourn his departure, his father and mother, four brothers: Clifford of Nelson, LaVerne of Central City, Colorado, Glen Junior and Dwight of Nelson; four sisters: Marvel, Leone, Jean, Faye and Ellen Mae (NOTE: This adds up to five sisters), all of Nelson; and two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Clifford Adamson and Mrs. LaVerne Adamson. Also the grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.A. Adamson of Nelson, and a number of uncles, aunts and cousins, besides many friends.
