JOHN E. NELSON, farmer, section 31, Sheridan Township, is a native of Canada, 
and was born Nov. 9, 1850.  

His parents, John and Sarah (Sherman) Nelson, were natives of Canada and New 
York, and lived there until 

1855.  In the fall of that year they came to Oceana Co., Mich., where his 
father died in 1859. His mother 

then moved to Ionia County with her family of six children, where they lived 
until 1862, and in the fall 

of that year came to Newaygo County and settled in Sheridan, then Bridgeton 
Township, where she has since 

resided.

In the fall of 1862, the subject of this sketch went to Calhoun Co., Mich., to 
live with an uncle, with 

whom he remained until the spring of 1865, and then came to this county.  
Since that time he has made 

several changes, but is now a resident of Sheridan Township.  In the fall of 
1873 he was married in 

Wisconsin, to Annie M. Larue, a native of that State, and they have two 
children:  Florence and Willie M., 

both of whom are deceased.  Mr. Nelson is very active in the temperance reform 
and in politics is a 

Republican.
