Nels Johnson

FROM JOHNSON FAMILY NOTEBOOK OF DORIS ROUSHKOLB MALUM -

AS FAR AS WE KNOW, NELS NEVER MARRIED. HE LIVED IN MONTANA FOR A TIME, AND HE IS LISTED IN HIS FATHERS WILL IN 1899. HE LEFT MONTANA AND STAYED WITH HIS BRO OLIVER IN OKLAHOMA FOR A TIME, THEN LEFT IN 1904 TO GO TO SAN FRANCISCO, CA. HE WAS NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN, AND THE FAMILY THINKS HE PERISHED IN THE SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE OF 1906.

(PERSONAL NOTE - I COULD NOT FIND HIS NAME IN LISTS OF THE DEAD FROM THAT EARTHQUAKE, OR IN THE SAN FRANCISCO DIRECTORY)
