FIND LOUIS NANSEL DEAD IN FIELD

Louis B. Nansel, aged 32 years, son of Joe W. Nansel, well known farmer of Lewis township, was found dead Sunday morning in a field near the home of his sister, Miss Mabel Nansel, near Lake Manawa, with whom he made his home. The body was found by a farmer named Stuben, who happened to be passing that way.

Nansel is said to have been subject to attacks of epilepsy and it is thought he may have been seized with this trouble while making his way to the cottages at the lake.

He had lived in Lewis township all his life and is survived by his father, three brothers, C. H., and J. W., of Lewis township and A. D. of Omaha, and three sisters, Mrs. W. R. Wall of Folsom, Ia., Mrs. Phillip Kellogg of Pacific Junction and Miss Mabel Nansel, with whom he made his home.

The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock from Cutler's chapel, Rev. Hoff of Treynor officiating. Burial will be in the Plumer cemetery.
