Per the San Diego Naturalization Index of 1938 he became a citizen. It is on this form it appears he is now known as Matson.
On Abraham's death certificate [DC] he was a U S resident for 56 years. The DC also indicates his parents were from Christianson, Norway. (Abraham completed the information before his death)
