Nora L. 'Presler' Sturgeon

Nora L. Presler was born near Alton, Osborne county, Kans., December 24, 1885 and died at her home near Orafino, Nebraska, March 4, 1934 at the age of 48 years, 2 months, and 9 days.

Her early childhood was spent in Kansas until April, 1894, when she with her parents moved to Frontier county, Nebraska. Here she grew to young womanhood and spent the remaining part of her life, with the exception of three years spent near Shaw, Colorado.

On February 5, 1913, she came back to her old home in Nebraska as the bride of Henry Sturgeon. To this union nine children were born; six sons--John, Howard, Delmar, Henry Jr., George, and Melvin; three daughters--Edna, Mary, and Helen, all home to comfort her during her illness of about six months, all of which time she was a constant sufferer. all was done for her that medical skill and loving hands could do, but to no avail.

It was a great consolation to her that her daughters, Edna and Mary attended her so faithfully and lovingly during her illness.

She was converted at the age of twenty years, and was baptised into the Church of God, in which faith she remained until her death.

She leaves to mourn her departure, her devoted husband and children; two sisters, Mrs. Elva Baker of Colorado, Mrs. Elvin Price of Orafino, Nebr., four brothers, Claude of Calif., Verne, Emmet and John of Colorado, and other relatives and many friends. Her father, mother, one brother and two sisters preceded her in death.

She was a faithful and loving wife and mother.

Interment was in the Farnam cemetery.
