CHARLES A. NICHOL, who is carrying on farming operations in White township, Indiana county, has been a resident of that section all of his life, having been born there Aug. 30, 1873, son of Archibald and Anna Pauline (Trimble) Nichol.
William Nichol, the grandfather of Charles A. Nichol, was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, whence he came to the United States, settling first in Philadelphia. He then took his family to Manor district in Cherryhill township, Indiana county, making the trip from Philadelphia in a Conestoga wagon, and there the rest of his life was spent in tilling the soil.

Archibald Nichol, son of William Nichol, was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, Aug. 12, 1821, and was reared to the occupation of farmer, which he continued to follow all of his life. He came to white township, Indiana county, in 1865, and in 1893 purchased what was known as the Hood farm, where his death occurred March 25, 1911, at which time his widow moved to the town of Indiana. She still resides there, at No. 210 South seventh street. She and her husband had ten children, as follows: Rev. Wilson M., pastor of the second United Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Samuel, who is deceased; Ralph, who died in infancy; frank A., who died in 1906, at the age of thirty-seven years, leaving a widow and three children, Archie, Arthur and Anna, who reside in White township; Clara, who died in infancy; Charles A.; Eda B., who is a public school teacher at Elwood, Ind.; Martha, who lives with her mother in Indiana; grace, wife of E. Dana Johnson, editor of the Albuquerque Evening Herald in New Mexico; and Lucy, who died in infancy.

Charles A. Nichol, son of Archibald Nichol, received his education in the public schools of white township and the Indiana State normal school, and from boyhood has been engaged in agricultural pursuits. He is known as one of the progressive and enterprising farmers of his township, and his general worth as a citizen is acknowledged by his fellow townsmen. He rendered his community signal service as county auditor from 1903 to 1909, and at all times has been ready to aid any movements having for their object the general welfare of Indiana county.

On Feb. 22, 1899, Mr. Nichol was married Clara May Kanarr, who was born in Grant township, Indiana county, the eldest child of Moses and Jane (Hamilton) Kanarr, who came from Armstrong county to Indiana county; and Mr. Kanarr was a land surveyor of the town of Indiana. Mrs. Kanarr died in June, 1909, the mother of three children: Clara May; Anna M., now deceased, who was the wife of Frank Stormer, of Blairsville; and Harry M., chief engineer for the R. & P. Coal Company, located at Punxsutawney. Mr. and Mrs. Nichol are the parents of four children: Dwight A., Harry A., Anna Jane, and Day K. The family is connected with the First United Presbyterian Church of Indiana, which Mr. Nichol has served as trustee.

The Trimbles, Mr. Nichol’s maternal ancestors, are descended from George Trimble, a native of Ireland, who coming to America settled in what is now White township, Indiana Co., pa., where he took up several hundred acres of land. He died on his farm there and was buried at the town of Indiana. His

The father died on his farm when sixty-five years old, the mother at the same age, and they were buried at Indiana.

Samuel Trimble, son of George and Anna, was born Aug. 1, 1817, in White township. He learned the trade of carpenter. While a resident of Indiana county he served as assistant revenue collector. In 1867 he went West to Iowa, in a party composed of about twenty families who left southern Indiana county at that time for the same locality. He was one of the pioneers in the settlement, bout a farm, and thereafter made general farming his principal occupation. He died Nov. 13, 1900, and is buried there.
