Obituary from unknown paper, very difficult to read:
This entire community was saddened a week ago to hear of the death of Mrs. Ola Fitz Nelson at Fort Morgan Colorado, where she had gone in the fall of 1908 in search of her health. For the first year in Colorado she improved greatly in health and on May 5th, 1909, was united in marriage to Norene G. Nelson, a very popular and industrious young man and who is very well known here in Calhoun Co.
Mrs. Nelson was born in Green Co. Iowa on Sept. 27, 1887 and died March 13, 1911, her age was 23 years 5 months and 20 days.
A little daughter June, 9 months old remains with Mr. Nelson to mourn this untimely death. There are also her father, mother, three sisters and five brothers of the Fitz home who are deeply stricken at the loss of this young woman.
Mrs. Nelson was a fine christian young woman. Her devotion to her Lord was intense even up to five minutes before death. She was conscious of the presence of her Saviour and talked freely about spiritual things. Her pastor in Colorado spoke of the great . . . he himself received on visiting this young woman who was soon to put out for another shore. Her . . . was blessed. Mrs Nelson . . . joined the Presbyterian church in Fort Morgan. The services there were conducted by the Rev. Dubeuse after which the remains were brought to Rockwell City for interment at the Rose Hill cemetery.
The services here were conducted by Rev. Robt H. Reidy, pastor at the Methodist Episcopal church of which deceased was a constant attendant. The service was most helpful yet touching. The Methodist Church duet consisting of Miss Clark and Mrs. E. Griffith sang three approprate [sic] pieces. Miss Jane Scott accompanied at the piano. The floral expressions which were laid upon the beautiful white casket only served to illustrate that it was all in keeping with the pure life which had slipped away to God. the pall bearers were young men well know in life by Mrs. nelson.
She was quietly laid away in Rose Hill cemetery.
This community loses a fine young woman. Nothing but good things have been spoken about Mrs. Nelson. She will be missed in the two communities where she has lived.
The bereaved friends have every consolation for . . .
