BOATS UPSETTING—CASUALTIES—On Thursday last, Mr. U. Dart, Jr., wife, and baby,
Mr. J.E. Dart, Thos. O'Connor, and four negro men—all in Mr. D.'s sail boat,
were upset in Back River by a sudden gust of wind. The party, with remarkable
presence of mind, clung to the boat, and after drifting five hours, succeeded in
getting to the marsh, from whence they were taken three hours later by the steam
tug "Hamilton", and carried to St. Simons Island. Their escape from a watery
grave was almost miraculous.
The day following, one Nelson, a sailor was proceeding down our bay,
with two negroes in the boat, when he was struck by a wave and knocked
overboard, and although a good swimmer, he drowned. Only recently he quite one
of the pilot boats, saying it was a dangerous life to lead. Alas! We often
think ourselves most secure when danger lurks nearest to us.
Since writing the above, the body of Mr. Nelson was picked up by one
of our pilot boats and brought up to the city. A jury of inquest returned a
verdict of "accidental drowning."

MRS. DOLLIE NELSON, AFTER
LONG ILLNESS, DIED EARLY TODAY
Mrs. Dolly Ivy Nelson, old and beloved resident of Brunswick, passed
away at her home on Prince street at 1:15 o'clock this morning after a long
illness. While her condition had been serious for only the past four or five
weeks, Mrs. Nelson has been ill for the past six months.
The deceased has resided in Brunswick practically all of her life. She
was born in Mitchell county, Ga., September 27, 1859, and therefore was in her
sixty-eighth year. She removed to Brunswick when quite young and has since
resided here. She was known and loved by an unusually large circle of friends,
and while her death was expected, it has nevertheless, caused genuine sorrow.
Sweet of disposition, a pleasing manner, and kind and gentle, Mrs. Nelson made
friends of all with whom she came in contact.
The deceased is survived by two children, Mrs. C.M. Peddicord and Miss
Mattie Nelson, both of this city.
The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family
residence, 1203 Prince street, Rev. Royal K. Tucker, of St. Mark's Episcopal
church, conducting the services, with Undertaker Miller in charge of the
funeral. The interment will be in Palmetto cemetery. The following will act as

ASSASSINATED!—Conductor Jim Nelson Foully Murdered—Shot Down on His Train While
Trying to Pacify a Drunken Rabble—To Be Buried in Brunswick.
Jim Nelson is dead!
Shot and killed instantly by a cowardly negro while performing his
duty.
This was the message that saddened the hearts of Brunswick people
this morning.
Train No. 3, 1st section, on the Brunswick and Western railroad left
Brunswick last night at 7:45, twenty minutes late on account of the large
excursion party which had spent the day here. Conductor J.F. Nelson was in
charge of the train.
A large crowd of negroes were on board, and the usual number of them
drunk beyond control.
Conductor Nelson, having collected tickets, passed through the train
on his way to the baggage car. As he passed through the colored coach a white
man, Mr. Higgs, and a negro, were standing in the isle of the car quarrelling.
The negro was flourishing a pistol, and making threats. Conductor Nelson spoke
to him saying, “you must put up the pistol, or you may hurt some one.” The
negro did not reply, and Conductor Nelson started on to the baggage car. He had
gone about ten feet, when the negro deliberately raised his pistol and fired,
the ball striking Conductor Nelson in [the] left side of [his] back, and entered
his heart killing him almost instantly.
The man who fired the cowardly shot pulled the ball cord and brought
the train to a stop within a minute after the deed was done, and with a number
of other negroes who were in the car made a break for the woods.
Engineer Jno. Farmer rushed from cab to the coach when he learned
the cause of the stop, and raised the form of the murdered man in his arms,
where he died in a short time. The body was carried to the baggage car and
taken to Albany.
The shooting occurred at the thirty-four post, midway between
Lulaton and Nahunta.
The negro is said to be well-known, and lives at Hisford’s still.
As soon as information could be gotten to Waycross, W.S. Crawford,
yardmaster at Waycross, and Sheriff Miller left by special train with
bloodhounds for the the [sic] scene of the escape. Considerable trouble was
experienced, as the dogs would invariably return to the railroad track, after
going out into the swamps a few hundred feet. Mr. Crawford and Sheriff Miller
are determined though and will stick to the trail until the dastardly assassin
is caught.
Several negroes were arrested at Nahunta this morning and carried to
Waycross, where they will be held until the guilty one is apprehended.
Superintendent Haines was in Jacksonville, but upon hearing of the
murder, came to Waycross at once, where he is now, and every effort will be
exhausted to run the criminal down. The murderer will doubtless be caught, and
summarily dealt with.
Conductor Nelson came up from St. Simon yesterday at noon, having
been there with his wife for ten days on a vacation. He was accompanied by his
sister-in-law, Miss Mayo, and spent the afternoon at the Ocean House, and
mingled with his friends, being in the same happy, good-natured mood that one
always found him.
When he left last night, it was his his [sic] first regular trip
since his vacation.
Miss Mayo was in the rear sleeper attached to the train, but was not
apprised of her brother-in-law’s sad death until this morning when they reached
Albany, where the remains were taken.
A steamer was sent to St. Simon this morning to bring Mrs. Nelson to
Brunswick, where a special train had been provided to take her to Albany.
The news was gently broken to her, and she was completely prostrated
with grief. A large number of ladies from the island accompanied her to the
city, and several went to Albany on the special train.
Jim Nelson was a man whom every one liked. Always smiling, kind and
gentle, and ever ready to serve his fellow man, true to his employes [sic], he
numbered his friends by the score. No sadder event has ever occurred in this
section. He was popular with every one, and the sympathy of the entire city
goes out to his grief-stricken wife and relations.
Mr. Nelson was about thirty-two years of age and was born in this
city. His residence has been in Albany since his marriage there, about four
years ago.
THE FUNERAL—THE TIMES-ADVERTISER received a message from Mr. John C.
Lehman, who accompanied Mrs. Nelson to Albany, stating that the funeral services
will be held at the residence of Mr. Hiram Read, this city, in the morning at
ten o’clock.
The remains will reach Brunswick at 8 o’clock this evening on a
special train and will be interred tomorrow morning in Oak Grove cemetery,
beside the grave of his father.

JIM
NELSON’S FUNERAL—Buried Beside His Father in Oak Grove This Morning.
The special train bearing the remains of Conductor J.F. Nelson,
arrived last night over the B. & W., at 8 o’clock. Messrs. Thos. Mayo, J.D.
Embry and W.E. Smith, of Albany, and Geo. W. Coates, Mark Verdery and John C.
Lehman accompanied the remains to Brunswick.
The remains were taken to the residence of Mr. Read.
At nine o’clock this morning the funeral services were conducted at
Mr. Read’s residence by Rev. J.M. Lovett.
The remains were taken to Oak Grove cemetery, where they were laid
to rest by loving hands, by the side of his father.
The pallbearers were Messrs. Geo. W. Coates, Tom Welsch, John
Farmer, R.S. Wells, J.T. Embry, and John C. Lehman.
A large crowd of his brother employees and friends attended the last
sad rites.
Mrs. Nelson and her mother, Mrs. Mayo, were so prostrated that they
could not accompany the remains to Brunswick.
ON
THE TRAIL—Conductor Nelson’s Murderer Still at Large Johnson is the Man.
Nothing has been left undone to facilitate the capture of the negro
Johnson who so brutally shot Conductor Jim Nelson. The B. & W. officials have
been especially ready to give aid to the officers of the law. The entire
section is aroused and Johnson is almost sure to be apprehended. The sheriff of
Ware is out in the woods and large bodies of men are scouring the whole section.
Several negroes have been arrested, but so far Johnson has evaded
the law.
If caught, he will probably be lynched.
LATER—The latest news from the scene is that Johnson was seen to
swim across the Satilla river at some point in Wayne county this morning. The
parties who saw him did not know he was wanted. However, the searching party
came along and heard that he had passed and he is now completely surrounded, and
will probably be apprehended before night.

THE
MURDERER—Of Conductor Nelson Still at Large, but Officers After Him.
Several negroes have been arrested on suspicion that they were Tom
Johnson, the murderer of Conductor Nelson, but up to last night no trace of
Johnson has been accomplished. The sheriff of Ware county has kept a large
posse on the look out, and in all the adjoining counties the sheriffs are ready
to co-operate with him. It is now believed that Johnson is in the Okeefenokee
swamp, in hiding near the place of his father’s home.

The Brunswick Daily Times; Friday 15 March 1889
DEATH OF HON. J.F. NELSON—Former Citizen of Brunswick Dies
in Florida—A Biographical Sketch of Deceased. The Funeral to Take Place in this
City To-Day, With Masonic Honors.
Mr. E.A. Nelson, the
popular clerk and treasurer of this city, left Tuesday morning for Orlando,
Fla., to attend the bedside of his father, Hon. J.F. Nelson, who was reported as
quite ill.
Last evening a telegram was received from him by Mr. A.T. Putnam,
announcing his father’s death, and state that the remains will be brought to the
city for interment this afternoon.
Hon. J.F. Nelson had a large circle of friends in this city, who
will be shocked and saddened by this intelligence.
Mr. Nelson was born in Twiggs count, Georgia on the 30th
day of August, 1833. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Nelson, who remained
in that county until the early part of August 1887, when they disposed of their
landed interests and moved to Houston county, two miles from Perry. Here it was
that Mr. Nelson was reared, he remaining on the farm until he had attained his
21st year, when he moved to Perry and engaged in the mercantile
business for a short while, during which he was wedded to Miss Martha Sumaford
[sic]. He then retired from business and started a school, which he conducted
for several years, finally closing it and moving from Perry to Medway, in Dooly
county, where he founded the Medway academy, to which for quite a while he
devoted his whole time and attention, but finally yielding to the persuasion of
his brother-in-law, Mr. N.C. Greer, he closed the academy, and moved with his
family to Dawson, and once more engaged in school-teaching, which he quit in
order to enter the mercantile business with Mr. M.L. Burney, under the firm name
of Burney & Nelson, finally retiring from the firm in 1870, when he moved to
Brunswick and opened a store on the corner of Bay and Monk streets. Shortly
after his arrival in this city he was elected as an alderman, and held that
office during the years 1871, ’74, ’75 and ’76, and in the year 1877 he was
elected mayor, holding that honorable position during 1877 and 1878, retiring
that year in favor of Mr. John B. Habersham. But his name was once more placed
before the people for that office in 1880, when he was elected by a large
majority of votes, and succeeded himself at the next election, retiring at that
time until the year 1884, when he was elected city clerk and treasurer, holding
that position until January 1, 1888, when his health began to fail him, and he
was forced to retire for rest. He was succeeded by his son, Mr. E.A. Nelson,
who is now filling that position. During that period he commenced the erection
of the Ocean hotel, but before completing that structure he disposed of his
store and devoted all of his energy in that direction. The hotel, when
completed, was leased to Mr. Hewitt, afterward to several parties, until two
years ago, when it was sold to Afton B. Cook & Co. Mr. Nelson, as before
[section cut off] of clerk and stated [section cut off], 1888 when he retired on
account of his health, and moved to Orlando, Fla., where he remained until the
time of his death. The news of his death, while not unexpected, was received
with deep regret by the entire community. His life will always be remembered by
those who knew him, as one spent in helping those in trouble. To these he
always extended an open hand, and by these his memory will always be cherished
as one who never turned the needy from his door.
The remains will be interred this afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock, with
Masonic honors, by Ocean lodge 214, F.A.M., of which he was a member. The mayor
and council will attend the funeral in a body.
The service will be conducted by Rev. E.Z.F. Golden, from the
Methodist church.
Deceased leaves a wife, a mother, and four children to mourn his
loss. The children are: Mrs. H. Dickson, of Orlando, Fla.; Mr. E.A. Nelson, of
this city; Mr. J.F. Nelson, conductor on the Brunswick and Western Railroad, and
Mr. William Nelson, of New York.

Capt. Peter Nelson, a prominent citizen
of Brunswick, was run over about 8 o’clock Monday night, by an East
Tennessee switch engine and killed. The body was horribly mangled. The
deceased has lived in Brunswick for a number of years, and had been master
of several steamers.
The Weekly Constitution
(Atlanta, GA); Tuesday 28 June 1892
Transcribed by Linda Blum-Barton for the USGenWeb Glynn County Archives
Brunswick, GA., June 20.—
Captain Peter Nelson, of the steamer Angie Nellie, was run over by a
switch engine on the East Tennessee road tonight and instantly killed.
Captain Nelson was headed for the steamer, and it is presumed he stumbled
on the track. No one on the train knew of the accident and it left the
city for the new docks. Later a negro found the body. The head,
shoulders and breast were cut completely from the lower limbs. Nelson was
formerly captain of the St. Simon's steamer, and was known to every summer
visitor to the island.

Died, on the 29th ult. PETER JAMES NEPHEW, at the interesting age of
23 years, only son of James Nephew, esq. To a parent, the bereavement of such a
support is not easily discerned. The anguish of tender and affectionate sisters
is equally distressing. He was a faithful son, a kind brother, a generous
friend, and it cannot be denied that he was free from the many youthful
indiscretions which characterise [sic] the present age. He died in the hope of
mercy through his Redeemer.
