PIONEER WOMAN PASSES TO HER LAST REWARD.
Carrie NELSON was born near Arvika, Sweden, October 15, 1857; came to America in 1877, and to Eagle county, Colorado, in 1878, being among the earliest pioneers of the county. She was united in marriage to Nels ERICKSON at Red Cliff, Colo., in 1880. She departed this life November 18, 1919, at the home of her son Carl ERICKSON, on Brush creek, her husband having preceded her in death. Three children survive to mourn her departure; two sons, Herman and Carl, of near Eagle, and Mrs. Ole OLESON, of Gypsum valley. She was baptised into the Lutheran faith, and remained a devout follower of the Savior until her death.
Funeral services were conducted at the Lutheran church at Gypsum Sunday afternoon by Rev. L. G. HONNOLD. The body was laid to rest in the Gypsum cemetery.
