1 Welcome to my photos page about Arthur Verner Nelson 1911 to 1993 These photos are from an old album given to me by Karen Peterson at the Nelson Family Reunion in June 2006. Most pictures were probably taken during the depression and in the 20's and 30's. Many of the pictures precious to Art are unknown.

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.

26 AVN41 Is this a big or little fish or the bait. ?

AVN42 This was some newspaper article. It looks like Art Nelson on the bottom of the right pictures?

AVN44 I think this was Phil and Elvera's cottage at Lake Gogebic that Phil and his friends built. I am sure Art probably helped a lot on the cabin make out of logs. I recall a live spring under the kitchen floor used for a refrigerator. Not sure if it was piped was from some other location.

AVN46 I don't think these workers liked to work alone. Not sure exactly how much line work Art Nelson did but he did take a lot of pictures about line work.

28 AVN47 Looks like Phil's cottage being built. I understand initially the accessed the lot by water. Then Highway 64 was cut through or maybe was always there in some form. I just don't know.

AVN50 Looks like my Dad Phil Nelson 2nd from the left. Others had skis on . He may have had snowshoes which he like to use.
