From the 1969 written account entitled "Memories" by Marjorie Nelson Woodham:
"Daddy: Clyde Edward Nelson
Dad was a easy going pearson, laughing & joking. When I was small I was his shaddow. He was a farmer & carpenter. He loved to fish, and I have walked with him 2 miles to Stampede Creek to fish. We would carry a can of worns, cork, hook, & line with us & cut a green willow pole to fish with. I've picked cotton by his side, carried water to the other pickers & walk accross a plowed field to refil the water jugs wraped in what we called towsack (now call hopsacking). I've even ground cuckeburs in my tough bare feet, just to get him to pick them out with his pocket knife, that's the way I rested for a while."

Granddaddy Nelson was a large man. He was probably close to 6 tall and was sort of heavyset. He loved to play practical jokes, tell jokes, fish, play dominoes, and laugh. I remember him coming to get me to go fishing with him. For many years I would sit by his side and throw my line as close to his as I could and of course he would catch fish and I wouldn't. He would tell me it was because I didn't "chew" my bait right. He did everything he could to get me to put a worm or grasshopper in my mouth and chew it, I never did. He would pretend he was chewing worms to try to get me to do it too. He used to go to Dooley Marrs store, the meeting place for serious domino players and story swappers and play for hours. I remember hearing stories about granddaddy working as a Raliegh man, selling their products. I have a picture of him sitting on a horse drawn "buggy" with the Raliegh logo on the side. At one time he worked for the Santa Fe Railroad. I remember him telling me that he and some other men were on a work crew where they went up and down the track on one of those hand propelled cars. They had worked had all day and were taking turns pumping the handcar to get back to the station. Some were snoozing while others pumped. Their nap was interupted by an on coming train they didn't know would be on the track. They all had to jump off the handcar to escape being hit by the train. Then they had to walk to the station. His Santa Fe career ended soon thereafter.

Granddaddy was a farmer when his children were young and was also a carpenter. After they moved off the farm, he continuted with his carpenter business. He and Pete Fischcrabe were best friends and business partners in their carpentry business. Even after they retired, people would beg him to do work for them. He was very particular about his work and was known for excellent craftmanship. He used to be particular about his tools also, he didn't mind loaning out a tool to other workers but he wanted it returned and returned in the same conditon as he loaned out. He got tired of people getting into his tool box without his permission so he devised a plan to find out who was borrowing without his permission. He carved a small pistol that had a pin mechanism attached to the trigger. When you pull the trigger a pin comes out through the grip and sticks you in the hand. Granddaddy could always tell who had been in the tool box. Whenever someone would get into the tool box they couldn't resist picking up the toy gun and pulling the trigger. Then all he had to do was watch for the culprit rubbing his wounded hand. He said it stopped the borrowing.

My granddaddy was a "Johnny Watkins, Farm and Ranch Show" and "Bonanza" fan. At lunch time the farm and ranch show would come on. I never understood how he could eat lunch and watch Johnny Watkins show you how to get screw worms out of cattle. More than likely if you went to visit Granddaddy, you had better get there before 6:30 pm. Granddaddy liked to watch the news and then it wasn't long before he was in bed. He said he had to go to bed early so he could get up at 4 am to fix the coffee. Which he did. When I was about 12 years old, Uncle Fess gave my brother and I some colored chicks for Easter. Granddaddy said we could keep them over at his house only if we came and fed them and when it came time to kill them, we had to do it. I think Granddaddy fed the chickens alot more than we did and when it came time to kill the chickens, he showed us the process. He took one of the chickens by the head, slung it around a couple of times and broke the chickens neck. He made me chase the next chicken down, I slung it around, threw it on the ground and it jumped up and ran away. He made me do that 2 more times before he said, "Girl, that chicken hasn't gotten anything but a sore neck out of this and deserves to live, leave it alone." Gladly I did and the chicken lived at his house for a quit a while after that.

My granddaddy hated the feel of the fuzz on a peach. You could make him run or yell just by pretending you were going to put the peach on him. Many times I tormented my poor granddad with a peach.

Granddad was into royality...I remember him with his little cigarette papers and a can of Prince Albert tobacco. I remember vividly him spitting that little piece of tobacco off of his tongue that had gotten on there when he had licked the paper of the cigarette. After Prince Albert, came King Edward. Granddad traded in the Prince for the King. I very rarely remember him lighting one of the cigars, he chewed them. He always had the cigar in his hand, even after he went to live in the nursing home...he had to have his King Edward cigar.

In the winter when it snowed or when it rained, Granddaddy would come get me and my brother and take us to school. We lived a little over a mile from the school and he couldn't bear to think of us walking to school in bad weather. He would be there in the afternoon to pick us up, too. The memories of what a Granddaddy should be.

I remember Uncle Fess most of all for the twinkle in his eye. He always seemed to pay close attention to what I said, no matter how trival it was. The following are things that I remember being told about Uncle Fess and Aunt Edith.

Fetus Nelson and Edith Pewitt were married in Bell County, Edith was a school teacher and loved children. They both wanted a large family. It was said that "Bell County couldn't keep any teachers because the Nelson boys would marry them and move off." Uncle Fess and Aunt Edith had one little girl named Venetta. After Venetta's birth the doctors told them that Edith had had complications and that having another child would probalby kill Edith. When Venetta was a very small she ate some green grapes and had an adverse reaction to the grapes resulting in her death. Uncle Fess told my granddaddy that he would never tell Edith becaus he thought she would blame herself for letting Venetta eat the grapes, I don't know if Aunt Edith ever knew.

Fetus and Edith Nelson owned Nelson's Feed and Hatcher in McGregor, Texas for many years. I remember hearing once after part of mill burned that Uncle Fess called someone to rebuild it and whomever he called had heard that Uncle Fess' insurance had lapsed and the mill wasn't covered for the loss. Uncle Fess was supposed to have told him to call his banker and verify that he had the resources to rebuild the mill. The man called the banker and it is said that the banker told him that if Fess Nelson wanted to build 10 mills that he could pay for them easily. You could never have told by the way they dressed or acted that they probably didn't live paycheck to paycheck. They both wore clothes that probably had for 20 years and Aunt Edith loved costume jewelry. She always wore "earbobs".

When my brother and I were younger, Uncle Fess would send us a dozen colored chicks each Easter. My parents would be depressed for days after the chicks came, we loved them but dad would have to build and pen and mom would end up watering and feeding the chickens. They were cute when they were little pink, blue, and green puffs of feathers.

Uncle Fess used to let me go into the incubator and watch as the chicks hatched. I remember how hot it was and how bad it smelled but I couldn't keep my eyes off of the little holes the chicks would peck at as they were hatching. Uncle Fess would stand for hours beside me watching me watch the eggs.

Aunt Edith loved for us to come visit. When we were young she would open up the coke case at the store and we would get a "free" coke. It always tasted better than any I had ever had. After I had my own family and would take them to visit Uncle Fess and Aunt Edith, he would watch the kids to see everything they would do and she would always want to pop popcorn for them.

When Uncle Fess died he had requested that his body not be kept at the funeral home. He wanted to come home one last time, so the casket was brought to the house and the funeral was held in the living room. My husband, Farrell, was one of the pallbearers. Uncle Fess and Aunt Edith are both buried in the McGregor Cemetery with Venetta.
