Mary Nelson

Martha and Mary Harrigan were twins and were born on 5 August 1911 but I don't know which twin was born first.

Mary was married to Milton Nelson who worked a lot of construction jobs and also ran a rabbit farm at their home in what was then rural New Berlin, Wisconsin, USA. Unfortunately, their home was just across a busy road from their mailbox and their son, Jimmy Nelson, was killed at the age of 14 when he was struck by a car while running across the street to get the mail.
