Philip Nice, a merchant on Spruce Street, Sterling, was born in 
Montgomery.Co., Pa., Nov. 12, 1845. His parents were Henry and Levinah (Tyson) 
Nice, natives also of the Keystone State, who moved to Ohio in 1850, and in 
1865 to Sterling, this county. Mr. Henry Nice is a farmer and is at present 
residing north of Morrison. The subject of this notice received in his youth a 
common-school education, and at the age of 19 left his paternal home and was a 
farm laborer by the month for seven years; then worked a rented farm for three 
years; next he was a clerk at Sterling four years, since which time he has 
been a successful merchant in independent business. He deals honorably and is 
known to be a man of firm principles. Dec. 25, 1873, is the date of his 
marriage to Miss Anna Konhaus, a native of Indiana, and they are the parents 
of five children, namely: Amelia, Joseph, Emma, Tobias and Edith. Mr. Nice is 
a Republican in his political views, and both himself and wife belong to the 
old Mennonite Church of Sterling Township.
