MRS. NELL TYSON HEART ATTACK VICTIM

Found In Bathroom, Body Found In Morning, Had Not Retired.

Mrs. Watson Tyson was found Wednesday morning in the Bathroom of her home with life extent. Evidently she had died suddenly of a heart attack when preparing to retire for the night. She was fully dressed and her bed was untouched.

Deceased, as Nellie A. Morrill, was born in Magnolia, Iowa on Nov. 3, 1875. In her early womanhood she came to Blair and on January 8th, 1898 she was married to Watson Tyson. They at once took up farming which they followed until 1920 when they moved to Blair.

The husband died July 8, 1944 and the wife remained in the home. The two sons, Kenneth and Harry, both married, were always thoughtful of her comfort and their visits were bright spots in her declining days.

Besides the two sons, both married and living on farms, she leaves three grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

She was a member of the Rebekah lodge and of the D.A.R. and when her health would permit, took an active part in both organizations.

Funeral services will by held Friday at 2 p.m. from the Methodist church with Rev. Clark of Schuyler officiating, and under the supervision of Campbell Mortuary, interment will be made in the Blair cemetery.
