OBITUARY--Nichols, George B. (1865 - 1916)
The subject of the following sketch was a former resident of this
vicinity, and will be remembered by many of the Greenwood, Clark
County people. His boyhood days were spent on a farm near here, and
nearly thirty years ago he moved to Minocqua, Wis. The obituary was
taken from the Minocqua Times.
Died at his home in this village Wednesday morning March 22, 1916
at 4:30, George Brydon Nichols at the age of 51 years, 3 months and
28 days, the cause of death being dropsy brought on by a
complication of other diseases. The deceased was born at London,
Ontario, on the 5th day of November 1865 and at the age of five
years came with his parents to Greenwood, Wis., where the family
located on a farm. Here George remained until the early 90 s, when
he came to Minocqua where he has made his home since. He was united
in marriage to Miss Emiline Anderson at Chippewa Falls eleven years
ago. To this union were born three children, Dorothy, Grace and
George, all of whom are still living. Besides his wife and children
he leaves to mourn his loss one brother, John Nichols of Duluth,
Minn., two sisters, Mrs. John Huntzicker of Greenwood, Wis., and
Mrs. Edward Carpenter of Seattle, Wash.
The funeral services will be at the Methodist Church Friday at 2
p.m. The Rev. Lewis of Tomahawk and Rev. Bean of this place will
conduct the services and interment will be made in the Woodruff
Cemetery. The Woodruff I.O.O.F. lodge and Modern Woodman Camp of
Minocqua, both of which fraternal orders he was a member, will
march in a body to and from his grave. That Mr. Nichols was a
beloved citizen is impressed by the extensive preparations being
made for his funeral by his fellow citizens and fraternal
brothers.
He was gifted with a character so deep and serene that none bore
him enmity. Death could not have called from our midst a better
example of pure manhood. At all times and under all conditions he
walked in the well beaten path of righteousness and when fully
conscious that he was nearing his last, he appeared to be fully
impressed that the bright faith which sustained him during those
trying hours of suffering would only grow brighter as he journeyed
toward the infinite, and the final gloom of death be dispelled by
the radiance of God's love. The memory of his life must prove a
perpetual inspiration.
