General Notes: Husband - Daniel T. Nicklin
Residing in French Creek Twp, Venango County, PA, in 1888.
He was born at New Castle-on-Tyne, England. [HNWP 3, 343]
He was a child of five years when he accompanied his parents to this country. Though practically self educated, he was a man of unusual acquirements for his time, and during his early manhood taught school, both before and after his marriage, his wife having been one of his pupils. Before settling down permanently he had also been employed in a brickyard at Pittsburgh, and at cutting cordwood on the Mississippi river. At the time of his marriage he bought one hundred acres in French Creek Township, located at Nicklin Hill two and a half miles west of Franklin, and there he lived and worked the remainder of his life, making a fine property of it. Mr. Nicklin was thrifty and diligent in his material affairs, which prospered steadily under his careful direction, but he also kept his mind on the higher things of life, doing his share toward securing the proper administration of local public concerns and taking part in the church and social activities of the neighborhood. He served his township officially as member of the school board and as constable, tax collector and assessor when those three offices were combined, discharging his duties intelligently and with true public spirit. His political allegiance was given to the Democratic Party. He was always well read, and enjoyed holding discussions with his friends to the end of his life, his mind remaining clear until the last. Though reared a Catholic he became one of the leading members of the M. E. denomination in his vicinity, donating the land for the Nicklin Methodist Episcopal Church and cemetery, the present organization established in 1869, when he and his wife became original members. She had been reared in the M. E. church. Previous to its formation as a church it was known as the Nicklin class, which was in existence from 1842 and served by the preachers from Franklin until 1857, being in the bounds of the Hendersonville circuit. In June, 1870, when the trustees were elected at the Third Quarterly Conference, Mr. Nicklin served as secretary, and he was a delegate to the lay Electoral Conference held in 1871 at Meadville, which sent delegates to the General Conference that met in May, 1872, admitting laymen. He did the church a worthy service in compiling its early history, getting the records and reliable incidental information into excellent shape for an anniversary address at the reunion held June 21 and 22, 1902, in Seaton's Grove, and put into permanent form at that time. He was ever a mainstay of the congregation, kept open house for ministers and elders, and never allowed his enthusiasm to lag under any circumstances. He was a great lover of music, and always led the singing when he was able to go to church. [CAB, 619]
