Notes |
- Taken from the Tuscola County Advertiser Sept 29, 1899 and reads:
Nelson died at his farm home near Watrousville on Sept 24, 1899, he was one of the oldest pioneers of the County, having come here in 1851 when he was only ten years of age. He was born in Monroe County Michigan 12/31/1841 and in 1863 when the war broke out enlisted with the 27th Michigan Sharp Shooters and served until the end of the war. He engaged in lumbering until the timber was principally cut and then took up farming, which he followed successfully until his death. He was married Dec 31, 1869 to Alma Pratt of Holly, who with three sons survive him to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and a kind and indulgent father. His death was the result of tuberulosis of the liver and for many months he was a patient sufferer. Mr Miller has been a director of the Carol Fair Association for many years, has held various offices of responsibility, and trust, always acquitting himself creditably and was always a loyal and enthusiactic Republican, a good neighbor and a most exemplary citizen. Funeral services were held on the 26th. Rev Barlow of the Presbyterian Church of Caro, officiating, and the remains were interred in the Wahjamega Cemetery. Among the relatives present from a distance to attend the funeral was M/M L.D. Pratt, M/M E.J. Eisenbrey of Holly, Mrs H. Lewis of Imlay City, O.F. Pratt of Clio.
