Nelson and Zeller Family

Hi Larry,
In 1930 the Nelson family was living in Somerset, Mercer, Missouri.
Shadrick Nelson, b. Ky, 44, general farmer.
Lena, wife, b. IA, 38.
Alice M., b. IA, 17.
Fernald, b. IA, 15.
Vernon, b. IA, 13.
Marilyn, b. IA, 7.
Donald, b. IA, 5.
Daryol, b. IA 2 6/12ths.
I found the Where We Come From Family Tree, trees.ancestry.com/tree/5102980/person/-1352304068 which contains your Nelson family.
In 1900 Shadrick married an Aleeda V. Wallow. She had Vera Marie Norton and Wyla Norton so I think she was married before.
In 1911 Shadrick married Lena Elizabeth Zeller in Iowa.
I'd look for Alice's marriage info in Mercer County, Missouri. Do a Google search for Mercer County Missouri Clerk Recorder or Mercer County Missouri Genealogy.
