Gilbert C. Nelson was born October 23, 1908 in Lakin township, Morrison County, Minnesota to August and Christine Nyman Nelson. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith. He attended school and liked math and art. Later he worked on his family's farm until he had his own farm.
Gilbert was united in marriage to Myrtle Stish on June 26, 1938 at First Lutheran Church in Alexandria. For years Gilbert suffered from ill health. By the grace of God and help from several competent and caring doctors and nurses, he was able to return to farming after having had open heart surgery. He was so thankful for all their help years ago and now before his death.
Gilbert enjoyed farming, animals, gardening and reading. He also helped to plan and plant a grove consisting of six long rows of trees and many other trees around the building site.
Gilbert died February 1, 1997 at home with his family. He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters and brothers: Hannah, Gertrude, Arthur, Oscar, Fred, Alice, Mabel, Clara, Myrtle, Carl, Barney, Ruth, James and Henry. Survivors include his wife Myrtle, son David, daughter Kathleen.
Funeral services were held February 6, 1977 at First Lutheran Church with Rev. Merlin Bartelt officiating. Honorary pallbearers included his nieces, nephews and their spouses. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery.
Gilbert was a member of First Lutheran church. Arrangements were with Anderson Funeral Home in Alexandria.
