1926 Residence: Near the Black Hills in Lead, [Lawrence County,] SD. (Book, This and That).
Irene Dow Purdie writes in her book, This and That: "DETOUR--We knew that the handsome woman who came to visit us was Mother's cousin, but never questioned the exact connection. She was Minnie Turner when Wes and I knew her. Her husband was publishing a newspaper in Nevada, Cuba. Once she brought us a picture book of Cuba. Another time there were long strings of coral--one for Viola, one for Blanche, and one for Irene. When Clarence and Irene decided to honeymoon in the Black Hills in 1926 Mother said, "Take time to call on Paul and Emma (Blumenthal) Nelson in Lead, S.D. You'll like them." We did--take time! We did--like them! They showed us parts of the Black Hills and the Homestake Mining Company (Paul was an amalgamator in the Homestake Mill) that we wouldn't have found by ourselves. Every time after that when we came back from camping in the west, Emma welcomes us with open arms. She was Minnie Turner's daughter. So--when I began digging into my ancestry, I wrote to her with my imaginings about the Gould Family. Her answer: "May 15, 1966. Mamma's maiden name was Sherman. She had two own brothers, and one half. Her mother was Cornelia Gould Sherman, a sister of YOUR Grandmother Lucretia Mills". My guess was right!"

6 Aug 1948: Mentioned in Husband's Obituary: Lead Daily Call (Lead, South Dakota), Friday, Page 3, Col. 3:
"Paul Nelson Dies Early This Morning
Paul Nelson, a lifelong resident of Lead and a Homestake veteran, died at 1 a. m. today in the Homestake hospital, where he had been receiving treatment the past few weeks. He had been in failing health for the past three years.
Born in Lead October 21, 1884, he entered the employ of the Homestake Mining Company in 1899, and had worked steadily since that time in the metallurgical department. A year ago, owing to failing health, he had been made a watchman in that department.
He was married in 1904 in Deadwood, to Emma Blumenthal of Deadwood, and to them were born three children, who survive, as does Mrs. Nelson. They are Violet Collings of Detroit, Mich., Margaret Nelson of Chicago, and Frank Nelson of Richmond, Calif. Mrs. Colling [sic - Collings] and Frank arrived in Lead early this week.
Other survivors are six granddaughters, Peggy, Joan, and Sally Collins [sic - Collings] of Detroit, and Jean, Violet and Susan Nelson of Richmond; a sister, Mrs. Hazel Brownyard of Denver and a brother, Leo Curtis of Deadwood, and a niece, Mrs. Shirley Truitt of Denver, who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Curtis.
He was an Episcopalian. Funeral rites will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday from the chapel of the Rounsvell Funeral Home. Interment will be in the Odd Fellows cemetery in West Lead."
