Newspaper Obituary - Tuesday, October 15, 1935 Oswego Palladium Times - Oswego, New York - Charles Nelson Dies In Pulaski - Head of Dress Factory Succumbs After Week's Illness - Pulaski, October 15 - After a critical illness of less than a week, Charles W. Nelson, head of the Charles W. Nelson dress manufacturing company of Pulaski, died at his home in Lake street late Monday afternoon. He had been in poor health during the past summer but had attended to business and been at his office primarily until last Wednesday. Friday his condition was so serious that a consultation was held but there was little hope of recovery from the start and he weakened rapidly. He was born in Port Ontario, July 24, 1876, son of William and Alice Bohannan Nelson and after attending Pulaski academy became a telegraph operator for the New York Central Railroad, learning the work under the late William Austin. During his long business career he had traveled for the Proctor & Gamble company, owned and operated a wholesale bakery in Ithaca and was superintendent of a [unreadable] in Kentucky during the World War. About ten years ago he took over the business in Pulaski, purchasing it from John Richards and had operated it with success. It was located on the river bank near the west end of Maple avenue until a short time ago when it was moved to the old [unreadable] plant in Factory street. He was married on Thanksgiving day, November 24, 1932, to Mrs. Leta Howe Jones, who survives him, as does one brother Capt. Bert Nelson of Orwell. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, Pulaski Lodge 415, F. & A.M., and Pulaski Chapter No. 279 R. A. M. Funeral services will be held at his home Thursday afternoon at 1:30 and in the Methodist Episcopal church at 2 o'clock. They will be conducted by the Rev. Henry Bridge while Masonic services will be held at the grave in Daysville cemetery.
