Nelson R. Doe (1836-1915) was born in Newbury, Vermont, and died in Bradford, Vermont. He was a fruit wholesaler who learned his trade in the 1850s at Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, Massachusetts. Doe became interested in Christian Science in early 1885 and wrote to Mary Baker Eddy, asking her to take his wife, Ellen A. Doe, as a patient.
