Obituary.

From the Medaryville Advertiser. Died—in this town, on Thursday morning, March 28, 1895, shortly after 7 o’clock, Mrs. Nancy P. Nichples, at the age of 78 years, after a lingering illness of about three months. Mrs. Nicholes was born in Brown county, Ohio, on March 24, 1817. Her family name was Nancy P. Graham. She was married to Mr. Wm. B. Nicholes in that state and county on Sept. 5, 1837. The following month the then young couple moved to Miami county, Ind., and two years later to Rensselaer in Jasper Co. In the fall of 1855 they moved to this county, where they have lived ever since and which makes them two of the oldest settlers in Pulaski county. There were nine children born to this union, of which four,Elston, Walter, Frank and Samuel, are still living. Her husband, Wm. B. Nicholes, also survives her. Although of late her death was almost daily expected, the final demise of Mrs. Nicholes throws a gloom over this whole community, as she was a general favorite among both old and young. She was a true, loving wife, an affectionate care-taking, conscientous mother and an ever ready, sympathizing friend and neighbor. Her remains will find their last resting place in the Medaryville cemetery and the funeral will take place this morning at 11 o’clock, Rev. John Sebring preaching the funeral sermon.
