LEWIS E. NELSON.

    Nature seems to have intended Lewis E. Nelson for the bar, for as an
attorney he displays an almost intuitive perception in designating the salient
features of a case and in emphasizing those points upon which the decision of
every case finally turns. He has gained a most creditable position among the
young lawyers of Logan and his practice is steadily growing in volume and in
importance.

    Mr. Nelson is a native of Des Moines, Iowa. He was born May 14, 1891, of the
marriage of John and Anna (Madsen) Nelson, both of whom were natives of Sweden.
They came to the United States in 1882, having previously married in their
native land. Crossing the country from the eastern coast, they became residents
of Des Moines, Iowa, where Mr. Nelson passed away in March, 1893. The mother is
still living and now makes her home in Logan.

    Lewis E. Nelson acquired a public school education in North Logan and
afterward attended the Utah Agricultural College, which he entered in 1909 and
attended until 1913. He later took up the reading of law and subsequently became
a student in the La Salle Extension University of Chicago, Illinois. He was
admitted to practice on the 15th of April, 1916, and has since given his
attention to professional duties. While he practices alone, he has been more of
less closely associated with A. A. Law, city attorney and former member of the
Utah legislature. Mr. Nelson is a careful and painstaking young attorney who is
steadily coming to the front. Those who know him well speak of him as a natural
born lawyer. He owes his success to persistence and hard work, to thorough study
and to his careful preparation of his cases. He is seldom if ever at fault in
the application of a legal principle and his knowledge of the law is
comprehensive and exact.

    On the 27th of June, 1917, Mr. Nelson was married to Miss Eleanor Garrett,
of Wellsville, Utah. He belongs to the Cache County Bar Association and he does
everything possible to promote his powers in the path of his profession, while
his inherent and acquired talents promise well for continuous success and
progress in the practice of law. Religiously he is a member of the church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
