DIED: 30 December 1929, Salt Lake City, Utah
I never met my great-grandfather William Edward Nelson (most people knew him as Eddy), since he died when my grandma was very young. It is fun to learn more about him.
He was very musical and was in a few bands. Here are some pictures that show us more about him.
He played in many bands in Pocatello, playing the baritone and tuba, and then later he played in a band that toured with the Union Pacific Railroad.
Pocatello Chapter of the Order de Molay (not sure but I think he's at the tuba).
Gail B. McKay's Bostonians American Theatre, on the tuba.

On the bass.
