Henry H. Nichols, a native of New York, died July 17, 1914, in Mountain View, Calif. at the age of 70 years and 10 months. He was a member of General H. W. Slocum post and Colonel Peter A. Porter circle, G.A.R. He served during the Civil War in the "Pennsylvania Bucktails" regiment and the Navy. He crossed the plains by wagon train in the 1870s with his wife and daughter. They spent some time in the Dakotas and Colorado before reaching Oregon, where they remained for about 14 years before coming to California and settling in San Jose. Henry and his wife moved to Mountain View about 8 years before his death. He never had much schooling but was a great reader of philosophy and religion. He wrote considerably about Spiritualism. He was survived by his widow, daughter Mrs. Clinton of Mountain View, and one brother, Peter Nichols, living in Oregon. He had four brothers, all of whom served in the Civil War; one was killed in battle. (San Jose Mercury, July 19, 1914, p.20.)
