The American Dream: The Life of Nellie Nilsen Seale By Richard Seale Photo by Janie Price Norway to Amcrica (from Arendal to Arendell) Nellie was born in Arendal, Norway, on November 8, 1915. To find a better life, her father, Otto Nilsen, came to America to work as a carpenter. Her mother Ingeborg and the children stayed in Norway while Otto sent family support money home to Norway. After several years, he eventu ally saved up enough to bring his family to the United States. Nellie was eight years old when she came—with strong will and strong hands, from milking goats! When coming to America, she and 3 ~ sisters, Astrid and Grace, gloated to their friends that they were going to where “the streets were paved in gold.” Infant sister Ingdahli died of pneumonia in Ingeborg’s arms not long before the family left Norway. Nellie remembered this event very clearly. The children quickly learned the streets were not paved in gold. They had to go to school and had to learn English “on the run” to do their schoolwork. Nellie learned to speak and write flawless English, and her cursive handwriting was always very legible and neat.
