Nellie Moyer Budd (February 20, 1860 - November 28, 1944)[1] was an American music teacher. Trained at the New England Conservatory of Music, she served for many years as the head of the music department at Windom College, Montevideo, Minnesota.
Cornelia (nickname, "Nellie") Margaret Moyer was born in Sanborn, Niagara County, New York, February 20, 1860. Her father, Amos F. Moyer, was a descendant of the Moyer family of Central New York; her mother, Cornelia V. Rose, was a descendant from Robert Rose who came to Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1634.[2] Her siblings were: Lycuagus Rose Moyer, Mary Elizabeth Moyer, Frank James Moyer, Lloyd Garrison Moyer, and Galen Delos Moyer.[1]
Nellie graduated from Lockport Union School (1879) and the New England Conservatory of Music (1886).[3] In Boston, she had a course of music study under George Whitefield Chadwick, Dr. Louis Maas, Stephen A. Emery, Carl Baermann and Signor Augusto Rotoli. In Chicago, she studied under William Hall Sherwood, and voice with J. Harry Wheeler.[3]
Music study attracted her to Chautauqua, New York, for seven summers, and one season to Ocean Grove, New Jersey.[2]
