Nice, Jonas T., son of Bishop Henry and Sister Livina (Tyson) Nice, was born Nov. 25, 1855, near Wadsworth, Ohio; died June 19, 1935; 79 y. 7 m. 5 d. When nine years old he moved with his parents to Illinois, growing to manhood near Morrison, Ill. On Jan. 23, 1879, he was united in marriage to Rebecca Longanecker. They then moved to Roseland, Neb., where they built their home among the early settlers, and where a few years later he and his companion took a stand for Jesus, and united with the Mennonite Church which was yet in its infancy at that place, of which Bishop Albrecht Shiffler and Deacon Samuel Lapp were in charge. In 1891 he with his family moved to Roseland, La., from thence with the exception of one and one half years, they resided near Lake Charles, La., until coming to Denbigh about fifteen years ago. Five sons and three daughters were born unto them (Frederick Allen of Wenachee, Wash.; Frank A. of Houston, Tex.; Mrs. Olive Jones of Crowley, La.; Byron L. and Henry L. of Denbigh). Seventeen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and his faithful companion are left to cherish the memory of a dear loving husband and grandfather, two daughters and one son having preceded him into the glory world. He had four brothers: Benjamin, Philip, Henry, and John. Two were deacons, one a preacher, and one a bishop; also three sisters: Hannah, (deceased) wife of Pre. J. M. Nunemaker of La Junta, Colo.; Mrs. Elnora Steiner of Sterling, Ill.; and Mrs. Levina Kornhaus of Denbigh, Va.
In 1885 he was ordained to the ministry, in which calling he was zealous and faithful, working in the vineyard of his Master until six years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis of which he rallied and preached one sermon; but experiencing slight strokes at intervals, his ability was weakened, finally losing his speech, and for the last eighteen months he was unable to help himself in any way. Through it all he was very patient and resigned, never complaining, but always grateful for the loving care he received until finally the Lord called him home and he peacefully and quietly slipped away.
Funeral services were held June 20 at the home by Bro. Daniel Shenk and at the Warwick Church by Bro. Geo. R. Brunk assisted by Bro. Truman Brunk. Text, Rev. 14:13. Interment in Warwick Church Cemetery.
