Histoire administrative
David Nelson was a Tatamagouche, Colchester County, Nova Scotia merchant. He was born 7 February 1834 at Waugh's River. In 1890 he moved to Tatamagouche where he established his general store. He married Mary MacLeod and they had four children: Etta (b. 1891), John (b. 1893), Mary (b. 1886) and William (b. 1888). Nelson was a supporter of the Liberal party and was the area representative on the Municipal Council. He served as Warder from 1899-1903 and was chairman of the Board of North Colchester. Nelson died on 17 December 1920. For a time following his death the store was probably operated by his family.
