Description
Family photograph of the Nelson family, with Carl and Alma Nelson seated in front with 3 grandchildren from the Tilgner family.
Provenance
Found in collections, appears to be a duplicate. Carl and Alma Nelson were Swedish immigrants who met on a boat to America in 1902. They settled in Gresham in 1906, raising 8 children (a ninth died prior to the move to Gresham). The grandchildren here, Roy, Bob, and William Tilgner, were the sons of their eldest daughter Lillian and her husband Henry Tilgner. Lillian and Henry are likely the woman and man in white suit on the right side of the second row.
