  • Notes 
    • Joseph Hatch, one of his ancestors, purchased of the Indians the original township of Falmouth. Mr Nelson is a lineal descendant of Peregrine White, the first child born in Plymouth colony. One of his ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence and another took part in the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Battle of Bennington and was at the surrender of Burgoyne. Several of the Hatch ancestors were physicians of note.

      Mr. Nelson was associated in business with Alvin D. Puffer in the manufacture of soda fountains until, 1908, when he went to Mentone, CA, to engage in fruit culture. He had a large orange plantation including seven orange ranches and is president of the Grafton-Mentone Heights Orange Association and director of the Mentone Heights Water Company. He is a large shipper of the golden fruit. He is fond of hunting and fishing. His sons inherited his tastes. All are musically inclined.
