Joseph Nelson Sr Civil War Pension Application[wright.FTW]
[Copy of Nelson.FTW]
Uncle Joe served in World War I. He and Aunt Mable had no children. At the time of his death, they were living at 218 Cleveland Avenue in Trenton.
His grave marker says sgt. Co B 2 Inf. NJ NG, World War I.
In 1900, Joe & his father & sister Mary were living with his newly married sister Rebecca in Bordentown. The father was still there (or again there) in 1905. In 1904 Trenton city directory there is a Joseph C Nelson, rubberworker, boarding at 241 Walnut Avenue.
I can't find him in the 1920 census, and he is not in the 1920 Trenton City directory.
