Inscription

Inscribed with the date of marriage and the saying "Ten Feet Tall".

Gravesite Details

The inscription "Ten Feet Tall" was inspired by his sons James Donald and William Howard Nichols. He cast a long shadow and was the glue that held the family. The plot is surrounded by granite coping and filled with marble chips.
