NOTE: Biographical article on ALBERT NELSON:
One of the younger generation of attorneys who are destined to promote the
professional prestige of San Luis Obispo is Albert Nelson, a native son of
California, and born June 8, 1874. His family is a well-known one in this
county and his father, W. H. Nelson, is at present the recipient of a
large dental practice in this town. Dr. Nelson is enrolled among those
sturdy and self-sacrificing pioneers who braved the dangers of
the overland trail in the days of gold, and subsequently endured
with uncomplaining patience the deprivations incident to camp life in
the mining districts. With worn ox-teams he arrived on the coast in
1848,settled in Sonoma county, near Santa Rosa, and experienced the ups
and downs of the average, rather than the exceptional, miner. In 1870
he settled in San Luis Obispo, bought land, and has since made this
his home. He is a man of liberal education and broad views, and
practiced his profession at first in the days when no certificate was
required.
His wife, formerly Elizabeth Fowler, was born in Missouri, and be came the
mother of six children, of whim Albert Nelson is second oldest.

The education of Mr. Nelson was acquired primarily in the public
schools, and after graduating at the high school he attended the San Luis
Obispo University school. His professional training was acquired under
the able instruction of William Shipsey, a prominent lawyer of this town,
with whom he studied for five years, and he was admitted to the California
bar in 1896. He is possessed of particular aptitude for his
chosen profession, and has already met with gratifying appreciation.
A Republican in political affiliation, he is ambitious of being able
to combine politics and law as district attorney of San Luis Obispo
county, and is at present a candidate for this desirable office. Mr.
Nelson is variously identified with fraternal and social organizations in
the town and county, especially with the Masonic Blue Lodge, the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks. He is engaged in a general practice of law, and has not as yet
decided upon any special line of professional work.
