General Notes: Husband - James Nicholls


He was born on the farm owned by his parents, and there spent his long and useful life. He inherited a share of the original farm and to this added by purchase, his home farm consisting of one hundred acres. In addition he also owned another farm of ninety-four acres, which he sold to his son, J. B. Nicholls. He devoted his life to farming, and was one of the progressive men of that occupation in his township. He was for many years a trustee of the United Presbyterian church, and in political faith was a Republican.
