Postville Review, 15 Aug. 1891.

C. D. Nichols was born in Essex Co., N. Y., Oct. 26, 1819, and died at the home of his nephew, Henry Perry, near Decorah, Aug. 6, 1891.

In 1844 he was married to Adeline M. Finney. For 35 years they shared each other's hopes and disappointments, joys and sorrows, until 1879, when she was laid to rest.

They came to Postville in 1865. After the death of his wife Bro. Nichols went to Nebraska, where he lived until about two years ago, when he went to Washington. About a year ago he returned to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. G. M. Hanchett. Here he has had a home in his old age with all the care and comfort that love could bestow. He leaves to mourn the loss of a father five sons and two daughters.

Note: A separate paragraph in the same paper and date says;
" C. D. Nichols father of Mrs. Hanchett, died suddenly at Burr Oak of appoplexy last week, aged about 72 years. The remains were brought here for interment, the funeral sermon being preached at the Methodist church last Sunday.".
