She was a United States Army nurse.
Daughter of Nels K. and Elisa (Thorsen) Anderson of Thief River Falls, MN.
" Nora E. Anderson, an Army Nurse Corps volunteer, lies at rest in the St. Mihiel American Cemetery in France. Nora who was born in Rock Dell, Minnesota in 1881, joined the Corps in 1918 and sailed abroad to work in Base Hospital #68. There she became very ill and died. As she lay dying, she asked for the last rites to be given her, if possible, by a Lutheran minister. Chaplains, always busy at the front and in hospitals, were scarce. But a Lutheran minister happened along and those who nursed Nora asked this gentleman to attend her. This article is his story, a three-page original, reproduced as jpeg from Lutheran Church Herald written by Gustav Stearns, Chaplain, 127th Infantry, AEF, preaching in France."
