    Note
    • Note from Prentice researchers:

      The Nelsons come from Sweden via IA. Samuel Nelson was the immigrant and is a black sheep, having been kicked out of his home in San Francisco near the time of the earthquake. He's a dead end as all we know about his origin is what is in the 1900 census. He was president of the San Francisco Casket Co. which he founded and then left about the time he was kicked out of his home.
