  Research Notes:

re: Norman Kenneth ... findagrave id 81549424; includes a posted OBIT
- died 21 Nov 2011 at Dassel nursing home; age 91
- born 12 Aug 1920, Collinwood Twp, Meeker Co - Nathanile "Tanney" and Ella (Bollman) Johnson; grew up on family farm
- married 25 Jun 1955 at Dassel to Blanche (Olson) Nelson. Lived on the Johnson family farm
- he retired from farming in 2008
- survived by his children, Bob (Noni) Nelson of Blaine [Anoka Co, MN], Marion Nelson of Minneapolis
and Barbara (David) Anderson of Brooklyn Park.


NOTE: Norman Kenneth's wife was previously married 26 Dec 1937 [MOMS.... Meeker Co marriages cert P 077]
26 Jun 1937 to Ernest William Nelson, b 22 Dec 1914, Dassel, Meeker County [died 1966 in Wright Co]. Blanche and Edward
had 3 children. Since Ernest died in 1966, Blanche and him must have been divorced. Blanche's oldest son, James
would have been 18 years old in 1955; Barbara would have been about 16. Blanche's youngest son would have
13 years old in 1955. Thus Norman would have been their step-father. I have found no evidence that Norman and
Blanche had any children. I do not know if her children lived with Norman or lived with their father.
