3 Excerpts from the J B Nelson Family Historical Album. Ellen and art were both born in Ironwood, MI. They were married in the Nelson Family Home on Lake Street. June 16, 1934. For a time they lived in the Lake Street House with the other Nelson brothers and sisters. They had a garden, 1 cow, a hog and some chickens. One of the special pleasures while living on Lake Street was going to Phil's cottage on Lake Gogebic. On one particular trip there Art remembers taking his sisters in his Model T Ford and having to patch four flat tires along the way.

They moved to Excelsior, MN in 1959 and joined the Excelsior United Methodist church. Art is a Noble Grand at the Odd Fellow Lodge and Ellen went to Rebekah Lodge meetings. Art retired after being a carpenter for 40 years. He always liked gardening, fishing, Ice fishing and smoking the fish he caught.. Ellen worked in a flower shop in Excelsior. She had been with a florist in Ironwood for 18 years. She did a lot of caning in her leisure time and liked to read and work on crafts for the Church and the Lodge. Reunions had been joyful occasions. Especially remembered by all was a reunion at Little Girls Point where Art became a old hermit, in tattered clothes and visited the reunion group with a long white beard as he wandered out of the woods. Eventually art emerged from the disguise amid much laughs by grownups and children alike.

Travel to visit other family members put many bright spots in their lives. The longest trip was to California along with one to the Canadian Rockies with Ellen's sister Josephine Johnson. One trip was by car to Florida where they visted Ellens sister. The visited Arts brother Arnold and his wife Ruth. That trip was with a new car and no flat tires. Home was in Excelsior MN near daughter Karen and Marlow and grand children Mark and David and their families. Art and Ellen celebrated their golden wedding anniversary June 24, 1984 the Excelsior United Methodist Church in Excelsior, MN with 200 friends and relatives attending.

On my birthday May 10, 2008 I wrote Karen Nelson Peterson
"So this evening I didn't really want to work so I started to play with the 2 old photo albums you so thoughtfully gave me at the last reunion in 2006. I kept most of the pictures even though I have no idea who is in the picture or what it is about. When I get it on the Arthur Verner Nelson Website, a folder in the www.JBNelsonFamily.com website I will send you the URL and you can contribute a comment from memory or information. The photos will be numbered AVN1 to AVN114. If they don't copy well enough that number will be deleted. I will be putting a sticker on each photo."
I am sending this page to a number of JB Nelson Family relative and others. If you know who any of the people in the photos please send them to me by email so I can put it with the AVN no picture. If you know anything about the tools, clothes or work objects in the picture please send them to me. I will put in a few comments about some of the pictures as I know it.
