Sharon, I have in my notes the following information, which probably isn't any help, but I'll mention it anyway... Neslon was Methodist minister Nelson was not mentioned as a survivor in the obituary of his father, who died in 1943 Nelson was buried in Yucaipa, CA (mentioned by Barbara hill and Felton Morgan) >From this information, I conclude that he died fairly young, probably while still an active minister, and was returned to his "home" of Yucaipa, CA for the burial. If one were to contact the Methodist church perhaps they would have records of their ministers, and be able to tell you where he was serving when he died. (That is, if my assumptions are correct) Other than that, maybe there is someone that can check with the cemetery and find out when he was buried. That would at least give a bit more information.
