According to granddaughter Ruby Barnes, Nelson was a "big worker in the church...He always was at church, regardless of conditions. His name is listed at David Lipscomb University as one of the co-founders of the church school in Nashville." He named his son Tolbert after the famous Church of Christ preacher, Tolbert Fanning.
Elba Hewgley Oliphant, granddaughter of Nelson and Sarah, says that she remembers "going over to their house, the house in the picture as a little girl. I also remember them auctioning off the house and all their things - I think they just got too old to live alone there, so they were going to Nashville to live with someone in the family. I remember all their things being in the front yard, and being auctioned off, and I was crying. Someone took me away to distract me, but I was crying so hard I fainted, over them selling off their things, and their house, and I didn't think I'd ever get to go back there again."
