Patty, if you would contact me thru this board, I would appreciate it. What happened to Perse Nelson's last wife, Charlotte "Lottie" Edmiston Nelson? I don't see her in either AR marriages or on the death index. She is living in AR with her son Frank Edmiston, Lawrence County, AR in 1920. From there, I don't know. I do know that Perse Nelson visited Frank in the late 1920's because Frank's youngest child, at that time, recalled seeing him (his long white beard scared her). In 1920, Frank is using Perse's name so I have a good idea that Frank thought a lot of him. Some clue--any clue--might help.
