Cattaraugus County is noted for the number and excellence of its professional men. Nor are these confined to any particular locality, but we find them in various parts of the county; one or more in every village of any considerable size. The representative physician and surgeon of Limestone and its surroundings is Dr. James Nichols, who has practiced medicine in this county for about fifteen years with reasonable success.
James Nichols was born at Arcade, Wyoming Co., N. Y., July 23,1825. He was the oldest son of John and Sally Nichols, who came to Arcade in 1812, and were among its first as they were among its most respectable settlers. He moved with his parents to Centreville, Allegany Co., N. Y., in 1837. About that time his father met with financial misfortune, losing his property, so that young Nichols was compelled to depend upon his own labor for support and education. He went to Farmersville, Cattaraugus Co., in 1844, and there taught the village school several terms. He subsequently chose medicine as a profession, and engaged in its study with E. S. Stewart, M.D., of that place, now of Ellicottville, completing his medical education at the University of Buffalo Medical College, from which institution he was honorably graduated. On account of ill-health he did not immediately engage in active practice, but moved to Carrolton in 1856, where he followed the lumber business, and, through the arduous, muscular labor of that, greatly improved his physical condition. He commenced the regular practice of medicine in 1864, and has since been uninterruptedly engaged therein. He is a member of the Cattaraugus County Medical Society, of which he has been president, and also elected delegate to the State Medical Society.
On the 1st of March, 1852, he was united in marriage with Mary Jane Wade, the eldest daughter of Henry Wade, Esq. They have had four children, namely: Henry James, born Aug. 26, 1856, died Sept. 19,1857; Jennie M., born Jan. 19, 1858; H. James, born Sept. 16, 1859; John B., born Jan. 1, 1861. Dr. Nichols was twice elected a member of the board of supervisors for Farmersville, and nine times to the same position in the town of Carrolton. He was a war Democrat, and was appointed upon the Senatorial Committee by Gov. Morgan, and assisted in raising and organizing the 113th and 154th Regiments of New York Volunteers. His political record has been a peculiarly honest one. Actuated always by the same principles of integrity that characterize his private business, he succeeded in fulfilling the duties of the various offices to which he has been elevated with a remarkable fidelity.
He is at present a member of the firm of Nichols &; Paton, druggists, of Limestone, and besides attending to his extensive medical practice, finds time to attend the requirements of his business. He has been almost a constant member of and at different times president of the board of education of Limestone Union Free School, and was largely instrumental in procuring the organization of that and also of the Limestone Academy. The doctor became a member of Union Lodge, No. 334, F. A. M., Bradford, Pa., about sixteen years ago. He withdrew from that lodge in March 1878, and was one of the charter member of Limestone Lodge, No. 780. He is now a member of Olean Chapter, No. 150, and of St. John's Commandery, K. T., No. 24.
He was a Doctor in Limestone, NY, until 1882
