Interment at Waterloo Saturday Tuesday evening Mrs. James Donahue of Emmetsburg township received the sad news that her brother, Dr. R.J. Nestor of Waterloo, had passed away in a sanitarium at Battle Creek, Michigan. She knew that he had not been feeling well for some time but had no idea that his condition was so serious. She will leave for Waterloo tomorrow to attend the funeral, which will be held in one of the Catholic churches of that city. Dr. Nestor spent his boyhood and early manhood years in this community. His people were pioneers. He attended the local schools and when he grew to manhood he taught for a few years. He was capable, energetic and successful. Later he entered a medical college and finished with high hopes. He practiced at Hudson, this state, for a number of years, after which he located in Waterloo. He enjoyed a fine patronage and he became prosperous. He was married at Waterloo in 1901. We have not learned the name of Mrs. Nestor before marriage. Some time later Dr. and Mrs. Nestor took a trip to Europe where the Doctor spent a year or two specializing in the high class medical institutions of Vienna, Austria, and Heidelberg, Germany. Hence he had the best of opportunities to win his way to the front in his profession. He is survived by his beloved wife, two brothers and three sisters. The brothers are Lawrence Murphy of Bonesteel, S.D., and Joseph Nestor, who lives in Oklahoma. The sisters are Mrs. T.J. Mulry of Chicago, Mrs. James Donahue of this community and Mrs. C.S. Knoll of Alberta, Minnesota. The writer knew Dr. Nestor for more than 42 years and had occasion to entertain the highest respect for him. He was a polished, modest gentleman and he had a pleasing personality. He was upright and courteous and he retained through life the friendship of those whose good will he gained in earlier years. We learn with profound sorrow of his passing and we offer heartfelt sympathy to the surviving relatives.
