Death of George Nickerson
Mr. George Nickerson, who has been sick for about two weeks with malarial fever, which terminated in typhoid fever, died at the residence of P. J. Gurnee in Sleightsburgh at 7:15 o’clock Wednesday evening. He was unconscious at times during the day and just previous to his death. His father and sister, with a number of his friends and relatives, were at his bedside until his last moment.
The remains were borne to the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad by Messrs. Geo. B. Hibbard, Chief Engineer of the Baldwin Jackson, Hiram J. Briggs, John B. Alliger, Alonzo Depew and D. A. Ainley, and was accompanied to Nyack, where he will be buried with Masonic honors Friday afternoon, by a deputation of four members of Rondout Lodge No. 343, of which lodge he was faithful and earnest member.
Mr. Nickerson was in his thirty-third year and was born in Rockland County, N.Y. About twenty-five years ago he came to this city and has since been engaged in the brick business and was in the hardware store of Andrew Dodge. Four years ago, he accepted a position on the steamer James W. Baldwin, and previous to his death was engaged as freight clerk.
The gravestone states his death as May 26th. But the obit appeared on May 26th with details about his death the night before. Therefore, I have changed his death date to May 25th.
