The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, December 24, 1970 Minnie Michaud, daughter of Paul and Lena Michaud was born September 7, 1895 near Brock, Nebraska in Nemaha County. She passed away early Wednesday morning, December 23 at the Nuckolls County Hospital in Superior, Nebraska at the age of 75 years, 3 months, 2 weeks and 2 days. At the age of four years she moved with her parents to a homestead taken by her father near Verdel, Nebraska in Knox County. Later the homestead was sold and the family moved to Superior, Nebraska in Nuckolls County where they resided for about 8 years. Her mother was called into the great beyond on January 25, 1920, leaving her father and two brothers in the home, as well as herself. It was in the spring of 1920 that the family moved to Nora, Nebraska where they had purchased a farm formerly owned by Mr. Hamel. Now that they were about to get settled in their new home, and Minnie was was to accept the household duties, they soon started going to the Methodist Church and she became a member while Reverend A.C. Bates was on the charge. It wasn't long until she became a member of the Ladies Aid Society, better known today as the Women's Society of Christian Service. She served as President for six years and Vice-president for four years. She did secretarial work in the Society for 6 years and was in charge of the Sunday School Cradle Roll for a long time.

To this union was born one son, Max Allan, who passed away in infancy. Minnie and Chester retired from their farm in February in 1970 and moved to their present home in Superior, Nebraska. Their interest was still held in the Nora United Methodist Church where they attended regular. Minnie was very active in the Church and willing to do her part up to the time of her passing. She was chairman of the Memorial Committee and was responsible for many of our Church improvements such as remoldeling (sic) of the Worship Center and putting new carpet also new folding chairs & Church outdoor bulletin board. The past few years she was unable to do some of the things she did in the past because of her failing eye sight.
