Pioneer Woman Passes To Beyond
Mrs. Dora Nelson, one of Marin county’s pioneers, passed away at her home in San Rafael last Friday. She was well known and respected by all who had occasion to meet her socially during her residence of nearly 40 years in San Rafael. With her husband she came here early in the 70s. Since then until Mr. Nelson’s death some time ago he had been engaged in the blacksmith business. She was a native of New York and was 68 years of age. The funeral was held Sunday from the funeral parlors of Edward Eden. The deceased leaves an estate valued at $15,000.
Mrs. Carrie Simpton and George, Edward and William Nelson, sons and daughter, survived the deceased.
