CAMBRIDGE, Wis. (AP) - Hundreds of people turned out to church for Easter and to start to mourn for realtor Ann Nelson.

The 71-year-old Cambridge resident was murdered last week while showing a home in the town of Oakland in Jefferson County.

Thirty-four-year-old James Hole has been charged with homicide, arson and burglary in the slaying.

Three hundred people showed up for mass at 8 a.m. yesterday at the church Nelson attended -- St. Pius X Catholic Church in Cambridge. Capacity is 220 people.

A similar crowd is likely Tuesday when the funeral for Nelson is held at the church.

The Reverend William Vernon says he implored parishioners to pray for the Nelson family yesterday.

Did anyone see in previous articles if there was a motive for the killing?
