General Notes: Husband - Matthew Nickle

---

He was educated in the public schools, and early in life began farming, becoming the owner of a tract of four hundred and fifty acres, much of which he and his sons cleared. On this large farm he at some times grazed several hundred sheep, being one of the most extensive dealers in the vicinity, also conducting general farming. His church was the United Presbyterian, and there were few more earnest workers in that organization than he, and few more generous in their contributions. He held the position of elder in that church, taking active part in its varied activities. For forty-seven years he was a member of the session of the United Presbyterian Church, and for many years superintendent of the Sunday school.
In public life he was also active, taking a keen interest in politics, his sympathies being with the Democratic party, and holding the offices of road supervisor and school director.
