George Washington Nelson was born to James Alexander and Evaline Forster Nelson at Elm Grove on December 12, 1873. He wed Miley Hatley on February 21, 1900 and soon built a new home at Elm Grove. George Nelson was a blacksmith by trade and well known throughout the area. His speciality was building wagons that were made of solid Bois D'arc.
I remember, as a small child, how he could pump those bellows and get that iron heated to cherry red glow before he began to shape it. But most of all, I remember that George and Miley Nelson had the first TV. Neighbors would walk down there from miles around just to see that television. Sometimes you couldn't even get through the front door.Mr. and Mrs. Nelson lived together for more than sixty years-Stories of Dallas Pioneers
