of New York, and established his well known saddlery and harness business at 327 
K street. He was a very active Mason and every ready to respond to the call of a 
brother for assistance, and when he died, December 22, 1876, at the house of his 
son, Clarence, his loss was deeply lamented by the Masonic Fraternity. For some 
time before Mr. Nelson's death four generations of the family had been living 
together. At the time of his death he was connected with the Board of Education, 
the members of which deplored his loss. He was succeeded in his business by his 
son, Clarence, who had been his partner, at the original location. Clarence 
Nelson married Maggie M. Prior, in 1869; they have one son and two daughters.
