She grew to womanhood in her na tive country, where she was confirm ed and baptized in the Lutheran Church. April 19, 1900, she was united in marriage to Martin Nielsen, and in the year 1904 they came to Cass county, where they made their home, with the exception of a short time in another community. Most of these years have been spent near Weeping Water, on a farm, near town. To this union eight children were born: With the exseption of Peter, wno preceedea ner in death, July 1, at Bakesrsfield, California, all with! her husband, are left to mourn her ' death.

Hansen, of Neligh, passed away just two days after her death. Mrs. Nielsen had been gradually failing in health, and finally her con dition became so serious that her daughter, Mrs. Walter Kassube took her to her home, where she has lov ingly cared for her, assisted by her sister, Mrs. Harry Crister, who lives near, but the weakened condition of her heart could not stand the strain of a long illness. Her going is an irreparable loss to the members of the family. The husband is left deso late, and the sons and daughters have lost the hand which has guided them with such loving care throughout the years. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the- Congregational Church, with Rev. John L Kemp in charge of the services.

Dec. 2(UP)- Six army officers and ninety-six en listed men yesterday were given pur pie heart deorations awarded for wounds in action, at Walter Reed Hospital. The men recently were brought back from North Africa Attend Grand Chapter Service Stations Do Record Business In Gas Monday There were an umber of the Platts mouth Masons at Omaha today to at tend the sessions of the grand chap ter of the Royal Arch Masons of Ne braska, being held at the Masonic Temple.

Filling station docks looked more like parking lots adjacent to night clubs yesterday and especial ly so late last night as the midnite deadline for the sale of unlimited quantities of " gasoline drew closer. The analogy between the parking lots and the docks goes only so far to show how most docks appeared regarding the number of cars ser viced yesterday. Concerning activi ty there was the greatest differ ences between a parking lot and any filling station dock in town yester day. Attendants really gave that "snappy service" for which they are famous. They ran, skipped and jumped from customer to cash re gister, and almost without excep tion it was not necessary to ask, "how many, please." Instead the driver barked, "fill er up." John Cloidt reported that the dock at his station was congested all day long, and at times the cars were ten deep waiting for a fill of the precious liquid. At 10:30 p. m., Mr. Cloidt said that he ran out of gasoline and was unable to make sales up to midnight. "I'd like to have a day like yes terday every day!" said A. T. Mc- Clanahan of the Conoco station. He also said he was plenty fortunate in having help throughout the day Carl Ofe of the Ofe Service Sta tion laughed at the query, how much did most customers ask for?" That was response enough to show that everyone wanted a full tank Asked what were the busiest hours. he replied, "From 10 p. m., on F .H . Gerberling, Manager of the Standard Oil station, reported the usual "business was swell." He al so spoke of a land office business last Friday night when a rumor de veloped that unlimited sales would cease that night at 12 o'clock.
