Dr. Anton N. Nelson, 80, Clear Lake and formerly of Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.), a physician for 45 years until his retirement five years ago, and father of State Sen. Gaylord Nelson, Democratic candidate for governor, died last Wednesday in a La Crosse Hospital.

He was also the father of Mrs. Karl Lee, Madison.  She and Mrs. Gaylord Nelson were at his bedside at the time of his death.
