I did determine that Nelson's name was actually Thomas Nelson. I found the MO death certificate records online and that is where I obtained the wife's name as "Rilma." Obviously this was an error. As he died in 1941 and she remarried in 1923, it would appear that they divorced. Perhaps one of the reasons for his suicide. Still hope to locate a newspaper article regarding his death in Jopline, MO. Thanks again for your help. Revae Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
