Special to the Nonpariel.
College Springs, Ia., June 26, W.W. Dugan received a telegram Sunday morning telling of the death of his son-in-law, Hugh Nelson, at a hospital in Pawnee, Neb., where he was taken about two weeks ago to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The Nelson family lives on a farm near Liberty, Neb. One morning while milking Mr. Nelson was taken severely ill but thinking his condition not serious, he did not call a doctor until the next day when it was learned he was suffering a severe attack of appendicitis. He was taken to the hospital at Pawnee, where he was operated upon immediately but the appendix had burst. W.W. Dugan, his son, Emerson Dugan, and his daughter, Mrs. Floyd Reed, left Sunday afternoon for Liberty, Neb., to be with the family until the funeral services on Tuesday. Mrs. Hugh Nelson will be remembered by old acquaintances as Miss Ida Dugan. She and her husband were both reared in Page county where they have many friends and acquaintances.

A Man Past 80 Falls From Mow
Injuries of W.W. Dugan of College Springs Are Serious
Blame Urge of Spring
Special to The Nonpariel
College Springs, Ia., April 6 – W.W. Dugan, past eighty years of age, who was seriously injured when he fell from the hay mow about two weeks ago, is much worse since Wednesday. His dislocated shoulder is much better, but apparently other injuries received by the fall, are proving more serious.
Mr. Dugan had not been in the hay mow for many months, but when the weather warmed up, he enjoyed getting out in the fresh open air and sunshine and was feeling better than usual. No one was around so he decided he would throw down some hay for the sheep. Evidently he missed his footing and fell to the lower floor, about fifteen feet. Mrs. Emerson Dugan, his son’s wife, was in the house some distance from the barn. She thought she heard him calling, so went to hunt him, and found him where he had fallen. His shoulder was dislocated but otherwise he did not seem seriously injured.
