                                                            1902 Tithing Receipt

This is a spring wagon used for the sale of goods such as fruit. Nelson owned a spring wagon and sold fruit from it.

                         Nelson obtained a license to use his spring wagon for a business.

                                   Orem Utah Timpanogos Church membership records

                                      1912 Tax Notice and Nelson's original signature

                Nelson was a freight agent for the Bamberger Railroad until he hurt his back                                                                                           and had to quit.

                                                1906 Land Deed from Nelson to Annie.

                                              page #2 of the land deed sale to Annie. Notice how sweet where it says how much the land will cost Annie to buy from Nelson. $1.00 and love and affection. Notice Nelson's original signature.

This is the remains of Nelson and Annie's home in Parleys Canyon. This is the home that Nelson Died in. This is the only picture of a home of Nelson's that we have. The Parley's Canyon freeway to Park City was built right over where this house stood.

                                                   PROOF OF FATHERS NAME!!!!!!!!

Nelson's Patriarchal Blessing given in 1912 (one year before he died) This is a Patriarchal Blessing I received  from  the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 2016 listing Nelson's Father as RILEY HOLDER!!!! This is the first ever proof of who Nelson's Father is!!!! I believe it should read WILEY HOLDER because of the DNA match that we are to WILEY HOLDER. I think the person dictating the blessing heard and wrote RILEY but it should say WILEY. As you will notice there is a mispelled Nelso instead of Nelson and Richie instead of Ritchie. So I believe they just made a mistake on the RILEY name.

       FATHERS NAME-------FATHERS NAME-------FATHERS NAME------FATHERS NAME

NOTE: There are 4 copies of Nelson's Patriarchal Blessing. One TYPED in the belongings of Louisa Cleverly Day stating Nelson's Father was Jonathan Holder and Mother Elizabeth Williams (this is incorrect). A second TYPED copy of the blessing in the belongings of Stella Cleverly Mann stating Nelson's father was Holder and Mother unknown. A third HAND WRITTEN copy of the blessing in the belongings of Donna Cleverly Winters stating Nelson's Father was  Holder and don't know Mothers name. A fourth hand written original copy from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints sent to me and also sent to a cousin Samantha from the Church directly stating that Nelson's father was Riley (really Wiley) Holder and don't know mothers maiden name.
