Dr. F. A. Nichols died very suddenly at his late home in this city Saturday evening, April 14, at five o'clock, aged 49 years, 9 months and 3 days.
Dr. Frank a. Nichols was the son of John and Lorinda Prosser Nichols, both natives of New York State, and was born in Erie county, Pennsylvania, June 11, 1838, where he spent his early boyhood, and coming west settled in the northern part of Illinois. He commenced the study of medicine with a physician at Marengo, McHenry county, Ill., and later attended the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1861. He then served as assistant surgeon in the late rebellion for three years, and commenced the practice of medicine at Capron, Ill., in 1870, where he made his home for a number of years and had a lucrative practice. In February, 1867 he was united in marriage with Miss S. Deette Hoyt, of Woodstock, McHenry county, by whom he had one son, Dillon, born in December, 1868, who still survives him and who resides in Lincoln, Neb. In 1882 his wife died, and December 11, 1885, he was married, at Kankakee, to Miss Minnie Burnham, of Thawville. Dr. and Mrs. Nichols came to reside in Chatsworth two years ago last September, and by his genial disposition he had made for himself many friends in the city and vicinity, all of whom learned of the sudden death with feelings of great sorrow. During the past year, and especially the past few weeks, he had been kept so busy that his time for rest was indeed very little. He leaves three brothers and three sisters, and his aged parents, who are in feeble health, residing at Terry Valley, Winnebago county, Ill.
The funeral was very largely attended at the Methodist church Tuesday morning, Rev. Birch conducting the services. E.G. Trask Post, of which he was a member, attended the funeral in a body and conducted the services at the grave. Mrs. Nichols has the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends in her great and sudden bereavement.
