Obituary for Nanno Gerdes -The Osceola Record 13, March 1952
Once more the death messenger has brought us a reminder of our mortality and has given us a warning that we shall not here on earth, find a permanent home.
Nanno Gerdes, son of John and Marie Gerdes, was born on August 2, 1891 at North Dumum, Germany and passed away at the Clarkson Hospital in Omaha, on March 7, 1952. He was married to Mary Anderson on May 9, 1931 at Lincoln, Nebraska and they have made their home in Osceola since that time with the exception of a year and a half at David City, Nebraska, where he was employed as salesman at the Walling Garage.
