Liddle in Andes, on Monday, were held at the U.P. Church Wednesday at 1 p.m., conducted by Rev. Thomas Park of Walton, assisted by Revs. Heldger and Turnbull and was largely attended, many relatives, neighbors and friends gathering to pay a last tribute of respect to the departed. Mr. Nichol was a native of Scotland and was born in 1816 and came to America in 1841. In 1845 he married Joanna Salton, who died in 1846. In 1855 he married Nellie White for his second wife.

Nichol, Thursday, Nov 16th, 1893, aged 68 yrs, 10 mo. and 5 days. Mrs. Nichol came to this country in her youth from Scotland and settled in Delaware she was married to Mr. Francis Nichol, removing after a time to Iowa and ten years ago to Kansas, settling in Republic county, where their children, two daughters, Mrs. R.E. Hillery and Mrs. G.S. Sandford, and three sons, William, Robert and T.A. Nichol, had homes. Mrs. Nichol united, together with her husband with the united Presbyterian Church in New York and after coming to Kansas joined the First Presbyterian Church in Belleville, also with the Woman’s Missionary Society in which she was an interested member until her death. She died trusting in her Savior, whom she served faithfully- Belleville (Kansas) Telescope, Nov, 24. Mrs. Nichol formerly lived in Platner Brook, Delhi. Mrs. Nichol’s maiden name was Jennet Jamieson, of the same place. They went west 25 years since. Mr. Nichol is brother of John Nichol of Delhi, and Adam Nichol of Hamden. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Penciled date; Feb 27, 1915) Paris Green Caused Death of Jas. Nichol Dose was Self-Administered --Well Known Farmer 1 ---Case not reported to Corner James Nichol, a well known farmer residing on Platner Brook, in the town of Delhi near Fraser station, died about four o’clock Saturday afternoon from the effects of a dose of Paris green, which he had taken that morning. He was 74 years of age. Mr. Nichol, who was unmarried and his sister, Miss Margaret Nichol, had lived on the farm where Mr. Nichol died, since childhood. Mr. Nichol was born in Scotland, coming to the country with his parents when a small boy. He had a large acquaintance throughout this section, and was a great lover of horses. He had one of the best kept farms in the town, his barn being a model of neatness. Mr. Nichol had been in ill health for some time and he suffered a stroke recently, causing him to become despondent. Last Saturday morning he returned from the barn after doing the morning chores and complained of being ill. He had vomiting spells and Dr. Heimer, of Hamden, was called. Symptoms of Paris green poisoning were very evident and an examination showed that a box containing the poison, which was kept in the barn, had been opened and some of it spilled. Mr. Nichol continued to grow worse till death came. As a regular physician treated the case and there were no circumstances connected with it but what were plainly in evidence, it was not considered necessary to call a coroner. The Funeral, which was largely attended by friends and neighbors, was held at the house Tuesday noon, the services were conducted by Reverend Mr. Kiel, who is supplying the DeLancey Presbyterian church. The body was placed in the vault at Woodland cemetery, Delhi. Dr. F.E. Bolt, the coroner, of East Meredith, came to Delhi Wednesday and consulted district Attorney Hewitt in regard to the law in case of death by suicide or under suspicious circumstances. He then went to Platner Brook and investigated into the conditions surrounding the death of Mr. Nichol. There seems to be a question as to whether it was proper to issue a burial certificate without first notifying the coroner. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Penciled Date; 1880) James Nichol, formerly of Hamden, but for ten years past a resident of Marshalltown Iowa, is visiting friends here and made us a brief call yesterday. He is looking well, as if the West agreed with him, as well as the hills of Delaware County or those of his native Scotland. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Penciled Date: 1930) Barton J. Nichol Barton J. Nichol, a former resident of Delaware county, dropped dead at the home of his brother, John J. Nichol, at Nashua, Iowa, Friday, June 27. Death was due to a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Nichol was born in the town of Hamden on June 14, 1850. When nineteen years f age he moved to Iowa, where he has since made his home.

He was planning to return to his native county again this summer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Death of Mrs. Nichol-Notes. Isabella W.

Her family consists of James, Alexander and Lizzie, all residents of Hamden. 2 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (penciled date 1913) Mrs. Isabella More Nichol Mrs. Isabell Wright More, widow of the late Adam Nichol, was born at Cabin Hill, town of Andes, March 30, 1826; died at Hawleys Station, 1 and one-half miles from Hamden, December 7, aged 87 years 8 months and 8 days. She was the daughter of Alexander More and Elizabeth McGibbon, who came from Scotland in 1804 and were among the early settlers of that part of the town. Her grandmother Isabella McGibbon, who died in 1806, was the first person buried in the cemetery at Cabin Hill. In early life she was a very successful school teacher, receiving $1.00 per week.
