Isaac De Groff Nelson (July 2, 1810 – March 24, 1891) was an early pioneer in Indiana, where he owned a newspaper, held several political offices, and became the father of newspaperman William Rockhill Nelson.
I. D. G. Nelson was born in New York state on July 2, 1810.[1] In 1836, he moved to Fort Wayne, arriving via steamer along the newly opened Wabash and Erie Canal.[1] Nelson bought the Fort Wayne Sentinel from George W. Wood in 1840 [2] and turned it from a Whig paper to an organ of the Democratic Party.[1] In 1851 he was elected as a representative from Allen County, Indiana to the Indiana General Assembly, where he helped pass the Nelson railroad bill.[1] In 1852, he also helped organize the Wabash Railroad Company.[1] Nelson served in various state government roles, including an 1854 appointment as clerk of the Allen circuit court,[3] a member of the first board of trustees of Purdue University, and in 1877,[1] he helped oversee the construction of the Indianapolis state house under Governor James D. Williams.[4]
Nelson also renowned as a nursery owner. His own estate, "Elm Park" was considered "the showplace of Allen County." Nelson lived in Elm Park, and had great fondness for horticulture.[3] Nelson helped to incorporate Lindenwood Cemetery in Fort Wayne, where a monument was built to him.[1] He was also a member of the National Pomological Society.[1]
Nelson died March 24, 1891.[1]
