Mother*Alice Jane Paris4,1,3 b. 1851, d. 28 Aug 1892
Birth*6 August 1877Lulu Nelson was born on 6 August 1877 in Iowa.5,6,7 
Marriage*7 August 1896She married first, as his first wife, Richard Francis Timmons, son of Richard M. Timmons and Sarah E. Raines, on 7 August 1896 in Lexington, Dawson County, Nebraska.1,8,9 
Census US 1900*3 June 1900Lulu and Richard Francis Timmons were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 3 June 1900 in Grant, Cloud County, Kansas. Richard, who was enumerated as R. F., was 26 years of age and worked as a day laborer, and Lulu was 22 years of age. They rented their house, had been married for four years, and Lulu was recorded as having given birth to only one child, and that he was living, however the couple's two sons were enumerated with them in 1900. Earl was 2 years old and the baby, Roy, was two months old.10 
Divorce*Lulu and Richard Francis Timmons separated, and were probably divorced, although we don't know exactly when. They were enumerated together with their two sons, and recorded as married, in June of 1900, and we've not been able to find Richard, Lulu, or either of their sons, with any certainty, anywhere in the 1910 census. We suspect they may have been relocating that year from Kansas to Oregon, and may have evaded the census takers. Richard married his second wife in September of 1912 in Oregon and, on the 1920 census, his two sons from his first marriage were enumerated with him and his second wife. His first wife also remarried, although we don't know when, and have not been able to identify her anywhere on the 1920 census. Her Find a Grave memorial recorded her married surname as "Clausen", and from the Washington state record of her death in January of 1937 we learned that she was a widow, and that her husband's name had been "Carl Clausen", whom we've also not been able to identify. On the 1930 census she was recorded as Lula Clausen, was 51 years of age, divorced, and was the Landlady of a Rooming House she rented.11,12,1,13,14 
Marriage*1915She married second Carl Clausen in 1915.1 
Census US 1930*5 April 1930Lulu Clausen was enumerated as the head of her household, which was a rooming house, on the 1930 census taken on 5 April 1930 at 612 Virginia Street, Seattle, King County, Washington. Her name was recorded as "Lula" and she was 51 years of age and divorced. She worked on her own account, and her occupation was Landlady of the Rooming House she rented for $65 per month.14 
Death*3 January 1937She died on 3 January 1937 at King County Hospital #2, Seattle, King County, Washington, at age 591,13 
Burial* and was buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Seattle.1

Name VariationHe was called Nealy Nelson Jr. to honor his paternal grandfather who had the same name.2 
(Grandchild) Will23 December 1907His maternal grandfather, Michael N. Bracken, prepared his will dated 23 December 1907 in Rudd Township, Floyd County, Iowa, naming Nealy Nelson and his sister, Sadie Kingsbury, and bequeathing to each of them, one-thirty-sixth of his estate, personal and real. His will further identified the siblings as the children of his deceased daughter, Minnie Nelson.1 
(Grandson) Death2 January 1908His grandfather Bracken died of diabetes on 2 January 1908 at age 69, 10 days after preparing his will.6 
(Grandson) Probate22 January 1912The source's probate package from Floyd County, Iowa, for his grandfather, Michael N. Bracken, deceased, contained only a few pertinent summarized documents dated 22 January 1912, the first being the election and written consent of his widow, Margaret Bracken. Her consents included her agreement with the provisions of her husband's last will and testament, and also her consent to have the Executor sell the real estate of the estate, including her one-third share of it, and agreeing that one-third share of the proceeds, after deducting the expenses of the sale, be paid to her in lieu of her distributive share in the estate.

The Executor, Henry Buckman, had provided a list of several pieces of land that had been owned by the deceased, Michael N. Bracken, and reported that he believed that those lands could not be equitably divided among the legatees of the will without sale.

He said there was a petition from the widow of the deceased, Michael N. Bracken, on file with the court asking that her distributive share, consisting of one-third of the estate, be left intact with that of the other legatees and that the Executor sell the same, together with that of the other legatees, and pay to her one-third of the proceeds of the sale.

He provided the court with a document titled "Exhibit A" which was a revised transcription of Michael N. Bracken's will dated 23 December 1907. In the transcription, Sadie Nelson's name had been changed to Sadie Kingsbury, as she had married in August 1908, after her grandfather's death.

The Executor, in his petition, then asked that an order be made by the court empowering and ordering him to sell at private or public sale the real estate as it had been described and to appoint appraisers to determine the lowest price for which the land could be sold, if sold at private sale. There were no objections to his request, and his petition was approved by the court.

There was no final accounting in the probate package reporting sale proceeds or the timing or amounts of distributions to Michael's heirs.1

Family
ChartsDescendants of Thomas Gerrard of Gibbstown, County Meath, Ireland and his Brothers
Father*Frederick Netterville1,2,3 d. 1785
Mother*Mary Keogh4
Birth*1777Marcella Netterville was born in 1777.5 
Inheritance* After her father died in 1785, Marcella inherited the family's extensive land holdings.4 
Marriage*1822She married John Gerrard of Gibbstown, County Meath, son of Thomas Gerrard and Elinor Carroll, in 1822.6,1,4,2,3 
Occupation*Soon after their marriage, John and Marcella began to convert Marcella's 7,000 acre estate in County Galway into grazing pasture. In order to make that happen 67 families, between 270 and 447 persons, "had to be put off their land, their cottages destroyed, all to be replaced by cattle bought at the Ballinasloe fair."4 
Historical Note*13 March 1846 Other landlords followed the Gerrard's lead as they began showing that tenanted land could be made far more profitable by converting it into grazing pasture. Then, with the spread of the Great Famine, and with many small farms unable to produce and becoming worthless, more and more landlords began to replace their tenants with cattle. George Charles Bingham, Earl of Lucan, alone evicted 2,000 people between 1846 and 1849 and would become known as the Great Exterminator. Ireland's first official figures of recorded evictions were in 1849, and 16,686 evictions were recorded that year alone.

Information about the evictions was learned from a newspaper article published in the Galway Advertiser. A transcription of the full article may be viewed here.4
(Wife) Death13 November 1858Marcella became a widow when John Gerrard died in 13 November 1858. The couple had no children, and John was succeeded as Heir at Law at Gibbstown by his nephew Thomas, eldest son of his younger brother Thomas.7,8,9,2,10
