- "Funeral Service For Mrs. H. C. Nissen Held November 28
Mrs. H. C. Nissen, the former Emily Lucille Peterson, was born at Verdal, Nebraska, on November 26, 1908. She came to Irma from McLoughlin, Alta., with her husband and family in December, 1949.
Because of poor health her activities in the community were limited but those who came to know her in her own home found her a true friend. The beauty of her character showed best in her love of flowers and gardening and her devotion to her home and family. She bore a long and trying illness with patience and cheerfulness and passed away in the Wainwright hospital on November 24.
She leaves to mourn, her loving husband, daughter Joan and son Norman; one sister, Mrs. E. Elliott, Madden, Alta.; three brothers, Sidney Petersen, Crammond, Alta., Herman Petersen, Standard, Alta., and Walter Petersen, Camrose, and several nieces and nephews and cousins."
