BROUGHT BACK FOR BURIAL.
The remains of Mrs. Nancy Neil of Carbon, la., formerly known here as Mrs. Smelcer when she lived here with her daughter, Mrs. John Adams, reached Clarinda on the early train this Thursday morning, and were taken to the C. H. Oates Undertaking Parlors. A grandson of deceased, Mr. Fred Anderson from Hastings, with his wife, accompanied the remains. Burial is being made in the Davis cemetery southeast of town, the time of burial not having been decided as we go to press.

Mrs. Neil's maiden name was Miss Dickenson. She was married in the east to Mr. Smelcer, who died about twenty years ago. She made her home here for a time, then a year ago last June was married to Mr. Neil, and has been making her home in Carbon, north of Corning. Death resulted from heart trouble, her age being 75 years, 9 months and 9 days. Her relatives here are a son-in-law Chas. Weaver, living on E. Garfield St. and Robert Smelcer on E. Washington St. near the fairgrounds. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 18, 1917

Suggested Edit: Her first husband was E. S. S. Smelcer - Ephriam Sabins "went by Sabe" Samuel Smelcer (b 11-1839 Indiana, last found in Page County, Iowa in the 1900 census with Nancy. They married in 1861.

Her obit is not quite accurate on when he died. Wondering if you might enter his full name into her bio area and maybe, someone can find where he is buried. One family tree has him deceased in 1905 in Kansas but I can't find a record for that. His birth years vary from 1836 to 1843 Indiana on the census reports. The 1895 Page county census puts his birth at 1836 Indiana - it states "age 59 years".
