In 1914 Mr. Nelson moved to Litchfield with his wife and resided in this city for two years. At the time of his wife's death, in the spring of 1916, he made his home for five and a half years with his daughter. On the removal of the latter to Colorado he lived with Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Sampson for nearly a year when he removed to Minneapolis to make his home with his son Willie A. Nelson for a year and until his death.
