Alfred Gerome Nelson, 81, of Liberty Hill died July 18, 2010. He was born May 24, 1929, in Burnet County to Boyd Lee Nelson and Frances Raydell (Floyd) Nelson.
He was a cotton picker, cedar chopper, roughneck, dam and bridge builder, carpenter, building contractor and barber. During his life he lived as far south as Bloomington and as far north as Kodiak, Alaska.
He was an active reader, poet, storyteller and songwriter. He was a self-educated man who was true to his word; his actions came straight from the heart.
He was admired and loved by all who knew him and there was no one else like him in the world. He will be dearly missed.
