A letter from Jane's father to "Wally" (likely his cousin Waldemar Veazie) lists his daughter Jane as "Jane VZ Nelson."

In 1961, the city directory1735 for Westbrook, ME, lists Clifford V Nelson, wife Jane V, on Flaggy Meadows Rd. Gorham and Westbrook, Maine, are adjacent communities in the greater Portland area.
