I found an obit for an Etta M. Nelson and wanted to send it to a family tree. I was unable to find one doing a simple search so I created a fake tree hoping that I would get a hint from Ancestry.com, but I still have not found a family tree for the Obit. I am posting a query with the information I have in hopes that someone will recognize the people.

Thank You.
