General Notes: Husband - Alexander Murray Nickle

---

His education was obtained in the public schools of the locality, Frankfort Academy, Edinboro, Pennsylvania, State Normal School, and Grove City College. After leaving the latter institution he was for a time a teacher in the public schools of Beaver County, then in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and finally in Hancock County, West Virginia, his entire pedagogical career covering a period of twelve years. In April, 1887, he went to East Liverpool, Ohio, and entered the office of Robert Hall, a lumber dealer, and served for fifteen years, the business being incorporated at the end of that time as the Robert Hall Lumber Company, when he was made general manager. This position he held for three years, being compelled to resign at that time because of an increasing nervousness which threatened a nervous break-down, and for two years he took almost complete rest. In 1906 he accepted a position in the service of the Limoges China Company as correspondence agent. In April, 1908, moving to Grove City, Pennsylvania, he then followed the trade that he learned earlier in life, that of carpenter. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and his political convictions were strongly in favor of the Prohibition party. While a resident of East Liverpool, Ohio, he served for one year as a member of the board of education of that place, and for eight years on the board of examiners for teachers' certificates.
