Mr. Nelson has lived for a third of a century on lot, 10, con. 5. During that time he has made for himself and family a most comfortable home and today the old spot is a model of neatness and com- fort. To Mr. and Mrs. Nelson were born five sons and two daughters, namely, James, who lives near on the Lauder farm. Paul, Tom and Rob at home, Will, down near Galt and Mrs. Rutherford, of Dumfries, and Mrs. 'l‘om Jackson. of Bunessan. De- ceased in his youthful days wasa noted athlete and had few equals as wrestler. but some years ago while logging in a swamp he had his sys- tem wrecked by poison-ivy. Since, then, he never re gained the old vigor. He has been going into a de- cline for some time and about a week ago took to bed. Mr. Nelson has ever taken an active interest ‘in school. municipal and political life. He was a good neighbor and leaws many warm friends behind. In politics he was a staunch Liberal and his religious faith, strongly welded Presbyterianism. The be- reaved wife and family have the sympathy of a wide circle of neigh- bors and friends. II.
