52 Ancestors Challenge Week #26 - John Nelen

Already at the half way point with Ancestor #26.  John is my 2nd great grandfather.

John Nelen was born about 1857 in Wisconsin to John Nelen (1825-?) and Alice (1823-?).  John had two known siblings:

• Thomas (1860-?)
• Mary (1860-1926)

John married Mary Jane O'Rourke (1870-1930) in 1899.  John lived mostly in Spring Valley, Wisconsin (1900-1940 censuses).  John and Mary Jane had two children:

• George (1901-1985)
• Alice Mabel (1905-1988) my great grandmother

John died after 1940 but I do not have an exact date.
