Nelson William Flora was born in Sullivan, NY on December 20, 1894 to Joseph Flora and Ella Larraby Flora. He married Lydia Lester in 1915 in Jefferson County NY. They were the parents of three children; Harold born in 1916*, Howard in 1917, and Harland in 1920.
Nelson left New York in 1920, moved to Minnesota where he went by the name of George Harold Bishop.
He married Anna Vit in Minnesota in 1922 and they are the parents of Mary Ann Bishop, born in 1927 and William George Bishop, born in 1930.
He left Minnesota in 1932.
Little is known of Nelson's life or whereabouts from 1932 until he and a possible third wife Viola moved to South Bend, Texas in 1947. The time from 1932 to 1947 is spotty at best.
"Nelson and Viola moved to the South Bend community in 1947 where they purchased a home. Nelson and Viola lived in the South Bend community until his death." #
Nothing is known of their lives in South Bend and Young County, Texas between their arrival and his death.
Any information you might have to fill in a spotty history for the years of 1920-1947 and 1947 to 1959 in Young County, Texas would be greatly appreciated.
