Lloyd A. Nicklin

Lloyd Alonzo Nicklin, son of William V. and Elizabeth Nicklin, was born in Tyler county, West Virginia, Feb. 16, 1956(1856), and died triumphant in the faith, at his home in Selma, Iowa, Sept. 14, 1935.

At ten years of age he removed with his parents to Van Buren county, Iowa, and has been a continual resident of the county, except for a few years in Eldon and Ottumwa.

In October, 1877, he was married to Miss Sarena Jane Hissem. Four children were born to them: Dudley and Vaughn of Selma, Mrs. May Dyer, who died in 1930, and Ada Berle who died in infancy. Mrs. Nicklin departed this life Feb. 15, 1899, and he later married Miss Fannie Moffet. To them were born a daughter, Mrs. Ethel Miller, and a son, Carroll, both of Selma.

He was converted in early manhood and has since been a member of the Free Methodist church. His strong Christian character, his steadfast faith manifest by his works, have been a light, a strength and a benediction to all whom his life has touched.

He is survived by his wife, four children, nine grandchildren, and four brothers, Thomas I. of Ottumwa, David of Eldon, Warrington of Selma, and Eli of Emporia, Kans.

His loss will be keenly felt by the family, the relatives, the church and the community.

Funeral services were conducted at the White Elm church Monday, Sept. 16, in charge of Rev. Mrs. Charles Peterson of Oskaloosa, assisted by Rev. Bruce Myers, H.N. Dickson, S.L. Gilkson and Wm. Heger.

Burial was in the Troy cemetery.
