General Notes: Husband - Daniel Nelson

---

After marriage, he took his bride to a farm of 140 acres given him by his father. After having improved his farm he, in 1860, sold and came to Mercer, PA, and bought a building which stood where the Whistler House would later stand, and there kept hotel for five years. While thus engaged five of his children died within thirty days with diphtheria. He bought and improved property in Rochester, Bea­ver County, where he lived for two years. He was engaged in the dry goods business at West Middlesex with a Mr. Rossler, the stock of goods having been removed by him from Rochester, where he had been engaged in business for one year. In one year Mr. Nelson bought the stock and removed it to Prime's [Perrine's?] Corners, and after one year there he bought the store of Adam Ketler, at Lon­don, Springfield Township, where he remained for two years. He gave the business to his daughter Catharine, and came again to Mercer in 1873, and bought a residence, where he lived a retired life. His wife was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and he was a Republican. [HMC 1888, 688]
