Nellie had a beautiful alto singing voice and used to sing in the Nottingham choir in England.
They lived in a log cabin on the Jed Casper property in Charleston, Utah. On December 10, 1870 their first child, Sarah Ellen, was born.
William later homesteaded the property in upper Charleston and all the rest of their children were born and reared there.
A song Nellie often sang to her daughter Sarah was, "My school mates were all changed to men. They were all beloved by me. The teachers now in silence lie beneath the spreading tree. My village home, my village home, how dear thou art to me."
There was always a lot of good home talent and neighbors often came to play in the evening. Nellie was interesting and loved by all. Yes, she had a happy home.
Nellie's health failed and when her oldest daughter, Sarah was only 18 years old, She died. When she died, she left the father with eight children, the baby only seven months old and Fred was two years, thus the load of cooking, caring, sewing and cleaning was left to daughters Sarah and Eliza.
