Arthur George Nelson was born September 6, 1896, the third son of Nels J. and Mary Nelson. He grew up in Wolbach and received his education in the Wolbach schools. Art was not a man who confined his efforts to one locality. His different interests carried him to many fields. One of the more recent positions was employment by this city in which he served very capably. Due to his recent illness, he was forced to resign which was felt deeply by his employees.
He served his Country during World War I and was an active member of the Ray Mapes American Legion Post of Wolbach.
Art learned of his chronic ailment two years ago and during this time carried his burden with unending patience.
He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Hester; one daughter, Gloria Bruesh of Gardenia, California, by a previous marriage; two step children, Roland Lowe of Shelton, Washington and Phyllis Watson of Honolulu, Hawaii; three grandchildren; his mother, Mary Nelson; two brothers, Otto of Lincoln and Andy of Wolbach; five sisters, Hattie Menzter of Ericson, Marie Nelson of Broken Bow, Mabel Wohlers of Omaha, Esther Bussell of Scotia and Lillian Nelson of North Platte; seven nieces and eleven nephews and a host of friends.
He was preceded in death by an infant brother, George, his brother Louis in November 1932 and his father, Nels J. in November 1945.
