Peter C. Nelson family

NELSON, JOHNS

My greatgrandparents were from Denmark. They were married in Wisconsin in 1869. They took up a homestead at Aurelia, IA about 1872. They lived there 18 years before moving to Slayton, MN, and later Red Lake Falls, MN. They are Peter C. and Mary Nelson. It seems that all of their children but one, Sophie Johns, moved to MN and later lived in MN, ND, IL, & CA. Sophie (Frank) Johns had 2 sons: Purl and Cyril. I am hoping that I might make contact with family descendants. Peter C. Nelson died in January 1925 in MN and is buried in Aurelia Cemetery. I found his obituary in the Red Lake Falls newspaper. My maternal grandfather was his son, Nels Peter Nelson, who homesteaded in Montana in 1910 but moved his family to Leeds, ND, in 1914 and lived in that area for the rest of his life.
