NELS NELSON Nels Berg Nelson was born in Helgeland (northern) Norway May 29, 1893. His home was on a small island so the only means of travel was by boat. With his brothers and sisters, he would row across the water to a neighboring island to attend school. After elementary school he attended business college in Bodo, a town which was completely demolished from bombing in World War II. On his twentieth birthday he and his younger brother landed in Canada where his three older brothers lived. After living in Canada two years, he came to Garrison in 1915 and the next spring, equipped with a Ford Runabout, a Ford truck, and a Waterloo-Boy tractor, he came to the Fort Berthold Reservation and leased Indian land to try his luck at farming. After several years of batching, in 1923 he was married to Gladys Hanson of Austin, Minnesota. She came out here to visit and found some attractions that induced her to stay on.
