Josephine M., wife of H. R. Nelson, passed away at the family home here Friday night at 9:30 o'clock after an illness of more than five months. Her condition had gradually grown weaker from the time she was first taken to her bed more than five months ago, although she fought bravely and everything was done by the husband and family. Tuberculosis coupled with several complications, was the cause of her death. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church of which she was a faithful member, on Monday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. J. Fletcher Long officiating, and interment was made in the Blaine cemetery.
Josephine M. Kaylor was born in Newark, Missouri, July 10, 1880, and at the time of her death was 35 years, 6 months and 11 days old. On May 15, 1901 at Newark, Mo., she was united in marriage to H. R. Nelson, who survives her. Four children were born to this union, one dying in its infancy. They are as follows: Eugene, aged 13, Mildred, aged 10, and Robert, aged 6. On Dec. 15, 1906, she came with her family to Blaine and has resided here since. A father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Kaylor, a brother, Floyd C. Kaylor, of Seattle, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Farr of Sidney, Oregon, are left to mourn a faithful daughter and sister, and all of whom were present at the funeral. Two uncles reside in this county, W. F. Kaylor of Blaine, and J. B. Kaylor of Bellingham, besides three aunts in Missouri. The deceased was a faithful wife and mother and during her long illness her devoted husband was almost constantly at her side administering to her wants and leaving nothing undone that might contribute to her comfort. The bereaved husband, children, parents and brother and sister have the sympathy of all in their sorrow.
