  • Notes 
    • Born Per Nilsson in Skogshuset, Veinge Parish in Halland, Sweden. After coming to America changed name to Peter Nelson Young; family story is that he was youngest or younger among many Nilssons.
      Emigration certificate issued from Allered nr. 2 in Veinge parish in 1854 to America. Came to Ottumwa Co. Iowa. There he met Anna Johanna Persdotter, from Knared parish in Halland, Sweden. They married in Iowa. Came across the continent by wagon and mule train from Council City, Nebraska through the Donner, Lake County and settled in Stockton. Landed in Stockton with only $ 1.50 in their pockets but because they had mules he got a job in Rural Cemetery. Part of pay was a house to live in and cemetery plots. He, his wife, two young daughters who died in early life, his daughter Clara Matilda Young Byrd Little, her second husband Mr. Little and other family members are buried there. The husband of one of his daughter's, Anna May Young Kidder, provided for perpetual care and so the graves can be viewed easily on well-kept grounds.
