Death of Enoch Nelson, One of Rosewood’s early settlers, a live wire and a person who has possibly done more than anyone else towards building up Rosewood, died in Warren on Thursday after a six month illness of stomach cancer. He had been taking medical aid at Williams Hospital in Minneapolis this winter and some over two months ago returned from there with hopes of recovery. However, within a few days he became ill again and an examination at Warren revealed that the disease had only been temporary checked. More operations were performed but were unsuccessful and for the last five weeks the pain at intervals were excruciating and his suffering a terror. Friends who visited him during this time were astonished at his bravery and patience. Nelson was born at Trysil Norway on December 10, 1864* and migrated to the United States coming first to Harwood where he spent two years, later coming to this community which has since practically been his home excepting partial stays at Viking, where he was engaged in various business. He was married twice; Thea Mellem of this community survives along with five children, Nick Nelson of Big Timber, Montana, of the first marriage and Theodore, Myrtle, Carrie, and Eleanora, all residents of this place. Mr. Nelson was at his death 57 years and five months old. Undertaker Skalman of Warren had charge of the arrangements and the body was shipped here for burial at the Rindal cemetery, two miles north of town. Funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon from the Mission Church at Rosewood.
Owing to his sunny view of things, Nelson was generally well liked by all his fellowmen and within his family he was an ideal husband and father. He was by trade a carpenter and many a building and landmark will remain as a reminder of him.
