General Notes: Husband - Samuel Park Nelson


He received a common school education, and, after his marriage removed to his farm in Carroll township, York County. This place consisted of 128 acres of finely improved land, upon which he erected new buildings and made improvements. He continued to farm there for twenty-four years, but retired from active work some time prior to his death, when he removed to Dillsburg to live a retired life. He was a very prominent man in local affairs.
