General Notes: Husband - William Anderson Nicolls

---

He was born in the old log house on the homestead, near Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the common schools and passed his life in cultivating his ancestral acres. His political affiliations were with the Republicans, and he was a member of the Presbyterian church. He was one of the directors in the Pleasant Unity National Bank, and a stockholder in the Westmoreland Trust Company.
He and his brother, Robert R. Nicolls, owned and lived on the farm which was taken up by their grandfather in the very early 1800s, and always remained in the name of Nicolls, and was known as the prettiest farm in Unity township. They erected a large and modern barn in 1870, and 1884 they purchased the old William Sanford farm in Derry township, consisting of one hundred and fifty acres.
