There are a few other FTs that I referred to, but none of overly complete. At times when you click on a link on Ancestry, some other possible collections are noted - I have used some of these.

There is a brief OBIT for her husband, Arnold M Nelson, in the Star Tribune (see below). It mistakely recorded that he was survived by his wife - he died in 1983 and she died in 1977.

A couple of Ancestry FTs use his name as: Arnold Melvin Blomhaug Nelson and his father as John Blomhaug
(1855-1931) - his father was born in Dane Co WI; and likely the name "Blomhaug" was a Norwegian name and he
or his family stared to use "Nelson" as a family surname in the US
