"The Roanoke Leader" - Wednesday, May 17, 1899:

AN OLD CITIZEN DIES.

The community was saddened by the announcement about noon Monday that Mr. Wm. B. Nichols had died suddenly while sitting in a chair, at the home of his son F.P. Nichols in this place. The deceased had been out in town all morning and was in his usual health. He was widely known throughout this part of the state, having been a prominent figure in public affairs and he was admired for his rectitude and honesty.
At 68 years of age he was called from his family and friends to join the great majority. He leaves a wife and a number of children who are held in great esteem by their friends, whose sympathy they have in this dark hour. The funeral services were conducted from the Baptist church yesterday afternoon by Rev. J.P. Shaffer and the interment took place in the city cemetery attended with Masonic honors.
