On October 3, 1911, Nellie married Andrew Jackson "Jack" Copley, III. Jack had grown up in Wild Horse Canyon, his family owning a large ranch. The nuptials were solemnized in Salinas at a pretty ceremony performed at the residence of the officiating minister, the Rev. George McCormick, on Pajaro street. The ceremony was private, only a few near friends and relatives of the happy young couple being present. The bride and groom were well and popularly known in Salinas as well as In King City. They honeymooned in Santa Cruz, returning to King City to make their home. Jack and Nellie welcomed two children together, a daughter, Irma Adeline, born Jan 30, 1913 and a son, Darl Eldon born Sep 10, 1914. The young happy family soon moved to 75 Pierce Street in San Francisco. It iwas here that tragedy struck on Oct 18, 1920. Their son, Darl, died at the age of 6. Cause of death being "cardiac paralysis". Funeral services were held in the family home on Pierce Street the following day, Tuesday at 3 o'clock p. m. Interment was at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery. Grief over the loss of their son proved to be too much for the young couple, they separated on Jan 28, 1921. Nellie filed for divorce on June 29, 1921 for allegations of cruelty. The divorce was granted on Sep 22, 1921. Nellie remained in San Francisco, the following year she met Maurice Angelin Lovay, a native of Switzerland. He was a skilled machinist and rose in the union movement at the time.
