      He registered for the draft in WWI in Vernon County on September 12, 1918. His name is Abraham Nelson with no middle initial. His address is P1 Readstown, Vernon County.

      In the 1920 census (misindexed as “Nahon”) the family lives in Kickapoo Twp near the Sam Nundahl family. Living with the Nelsons at that time was Abraham’s older brother Lewis. Abraham was listed as a tobacco farmer.
