Officer Down Memorial Page

After his death, the wife of Nelson Klein married my grandfather Harry Wright of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. His children and grandchildren grew up in our family. Gramdma never forgot Nelson, and we all knew his story. One of Nelson Klein's sons, my uncle, became an FBI agent as well. His daughter Barabara worked for the agency. Only one son, Richard is still living and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. For many years grandma and my parents visited the grave sight. Rest in Peace, Special Agent Klein
