Biography
Nelson attended Trinity Collage where he was a member of the Fraternity of Delta Psi (St. Anthony Hall) and received a B.A.[1] He also attended the University of Pennsylvania, receiving a M.A. and D.D.[1]
Nelson was Rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Philadelphia until 1903.[2] Nelson was elected in 1903 as a bishop coadjutor of Albany.[2][3] He "was consecrated at a most impressive service in the Cathedral, [on] May 19, 1904."[2]
He served as a bishop for almost thirty years, an extraordinarily long time. Nelson was highly active during all that time: preaching, confirming, and consecrating persons, especially in the northern mission of the diocese in the Adirondack Mountains.[2][4]
He was replaced by G. Ashton Oldham.[5]
