Passing of a Pioneer.

James G. Nicol, a pioneer and worthy citizen of Tuolumne County, died at the old family homestead, near Columbia, early Wednesday morning. Deceased was the father of Hon. G. W. Nicol of this city and Hon. F. D. Nicol of Stockton. Besides these, he leaves two daughters, Mrs. Johnson and Miss Nicol of Columbia. The funeral occurred on Thursday afternoon and was largely attended. Interment was made in the public cemetery, and Rev. A. H. Croco conducted the services.

As we go to press a telephone message received from Columbia announces the death of Miss Nicol, who has been seriously ill and whose end was probably hastened by the great sorrow at the death of her father.
