Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 8: November 1911 The first five years of the next decade were spent in Minneapolis where again he took up journalism, bringing into being and nourishing into healthy life the Minneapolis Daily Tribune. In 1890 he took the place of Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, at Washington, which he held for three years, and after the death of Secretary Windom, he was acting Secretary for a time. He was a leading member and served three years on the commission which directed the World's Columbian Exposition, at Chicago, in 1893. In his later life he retired from business to engage in literary work. He wrote a book, Trusts or Competition, and has published pamphlets and magazine articles on business and civic topics. For nearly twenty years General Nettleton was a member of the University church in Chicago. His pastor, Rev. Oscar C. Helming, says of him: There are few men whose absence will be more keenly felt, and whose memory will be more sadly cherished. All who knew him will understand what we mean when we speak of him as one of nature's noblemen, the type of gentleman we love to honor as most truly Ameri can, the kind oi man we should like to have our boys know, when they are growing into manhood.
