    Notes:


    At the age of 37, Nellie received an electrical shock while at work which influenced the remainder of her life. Although she was able to live alone and work in some capacity, the long term results of her injury appeared to influence her central nervous system and there seemed to be little enjoyment of life. She was "Aunt Nellie" to this writer (Maryanne Hrubesky) who knew her in the 1940s. Aunt Nellie visited her sister, Mabel Williamson, (Auntie Mabel) in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was very quiet, talked little, and did not smile. Physically she was slender, large boned and quite tall. She took no note of the young child who was present.

    June 27, 1927 - Electical Injury Sustained: From The Evening State Journal and Lincoln Daily News, November 3, 1928: Nellie I. Frasier, employed as a stenographer at the state farm and improved live stock breeders' association, who received a severe electric shock June 27, 1927, when she picked up an electric fan and a telephone at the same time, causing a complete circuit, has been awarded compensation by the state compensation commission, at the rate of $65 a month from the datate of accident until disability ends, the defendants to pay their proportionate share as per their liability. The plaintiff was also awarded $139.70 which has been paid for her medical treatment. The defendants were ordered to pay $191 medical expense. Compensation was paid in this case by the University from the date of the accident until Oct. 1, 1928.

    1935 - 1949 Interim Period During these years, Nellie lived in Glendale, California and likely worked at some position. None of her immediate relatives were in California so the circumstances in which she selected Glendale are unknown. Sheas unable to return home quickly in 1949 when her Mother died, but did visit in the summer. She would have returned to Lincoln to live sometime in the next two years.

    Thursday, August 23, 1951 From the diary of Frank W. Hrubesky, husband of Nellie's sister, Myrtle Ruth Frasier: Yesterday morning at 5:30 Auntie Nell Frasier died at Lincoln. Some 25 years ago Nell, working at the State House in Lincolnln, in untangling the wires of a telephone and desk fan, was under electric shock for some time before they found her. Since that time, from circulatory, veinous and organic injury, she has been more or less an invalid. A pity for she was not able to enjoy a normal life thru this time.
