General Notes: Husband - William McKendrie Nicholson

---

He attended the subscription and public schools, proved an eager reader and close student, and was trained from boyhood to agricultural pursuits, which he followed throughout life.
He conducted a general store at Ginger Hill from 1844 to 1846; then followed farming, but in 1887 retired from active life. He was an enthusiastic leader in politics, voted with the Whig and Republican parties, and took a special interest in school matters. In religion he was a member of the M. E. Church.
