Almeron Nelson Sr. Early Potter County settler and County Commissioner.
ALMERON NELSON died at Coudersport, September 26, 1896, of apoplexy, in the 80th year of his life.
Such is the record of one of our best citizens. The suddenness of his demise made the blow more cruel to the family and friends. He was stricken with apoplexy while walking along the street in Coudersport and lived but a few moments.
