The Milwaukee Sentinel
Friday, 28 August, 1873

         The unfortunate affair at Sundermann & Maschauer's 
       coal-yard on Wednesday forenoon resulted fatally to
       CAPT. ISAAC NELSON. It will be remembered that while
       he was paying a visit to the captain of the new schooner,
       the Guido Pfister, then unloading coal, a barrow man
       slipped and fell from the plankway above him, and that
       the barrow struck CAPT. NELSON in the nape of the neck,
       and paralyzed him. Though every attention was paid him,
       he was not destined to recover, and died last evening.
       
         CAPT. ISAAC NELSON came here with N. A. NELSON from
       California, in the spring of 1854, and interested him-
       self in vessel property. The NELSON'S purchased the
       Napoleon, and subsequently sold her and became owners
       of the Barber, and then of the Dolphin, M. S. Scott,
       and Nelson, CAPT. ISAAC NELSON commanding until the
       latter vessel was acquired. He made two trips in her,
       and then withdrew from active service. This was in
       1866. Since then the Captain busied himself in the
       management of the vessel property. Latterly his new
       vessel, the Pfister, interested him, and it was dur-
       ing a visit to the boat that he was fatally injured.
       CAPT. NELSON was 51 years of age.
