Obituary of Carl Johan Nelson:
Enroute Home At Swedeburg From China For A Vacation Of Several Months
The people of this vicinity were very grieved to hear of the death of Rev. Carl Nelson, a
Swedeburg boy, who has been serving as a missionary in China for the past ten years, his demise
occurring at San Francisco Thursday, August 23rd.
He and his family were enroute to Saunders county for a much needed vacation after an
absence of nearly 10 years, and his death comes as an almost unbearable shock to his aged father,
John Nelson of Swedeburg as well as to the mother of his wife, Mrs. Olof Anderson of Malmo,
both of whom had been looking eagerly forward to the rrival of their children from the Orient.
The deceased was born and raised in Saunders county and has a host of friends around
Swedeburg, Ceresco and Wahoo. He was a brother to David and Oscar Nelson, of Swedeburg
and to Mrs. Elmer Gustafson of Wahoo. His remains are expected to arrive in Fremont tomorrow
and the funeral will be held at the Swedeburg Mission Church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.
