Mr. Nicholson was a man of sterling qualities, a true Christian, a good neighbor, a kind friend and a man who will be sadly missed.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given
Though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
