Description
A Citizens Bank of Oviedo checkbook from Nelson and Company containing stubs made out to various recipients, many of which include Riverside hospital. The dates of the written checks range from April 15, 1948, through May 8, 1948.
The company was originally founded by Steen Nelson and Gus Nelson and called Nelson Brothers. The company changed its name to Nelson and Company after it became a three-way partnership between the brothers and Benjamin Franklin Wheeler. In 1923, Wheeler became sole owner after buying out the company. The 80-acre historic district was incorporated in September of 2001 and encompasses four of Nelson and Company's historic buildings.
