The neighbors having missed Heinrick Nelson, who live alone over in Dexterville, they looked into the house and saw his body lying on the floor last evening. Nightwatchman Steed was called and it was found he had been dead for several days, the body being frozen stiff. His brother, Christoffer, came down from Winside today. No arrangements have been made for the funeral as yet. He was around 73 years of age and had lived alone for many years.

Note: Since the death date was not given, the death date was estimated.
