   ISAAC NICHOLSON, Trustee of Taylor Township, was born near Scotland, in
Daviess County, Ind., in 1850, and is a son of Levi N. and Rhoda (Carpenter)
Nicholson. Levi N. Nicholson was a native of Greene County, Ind., and was here
raised to manhood. He was a soldier in the Mexican war, a Republican, and an
honored citizen of the county. Isaac obtained only a common school education,
and when twenty years of age began doing for himself. For the past twelve years
he has been working at blacksmithing, and is also serving his first term as
Township Trustee. A tie of votes resulted in he and his opponent "drawing
numbers," and, fortunately for Mr. Nicholson, his was the number that entitled
him to his office. He was married when twenty-four years of age to Miss Mary E.
Akin, who died, leaving one daughter —Norah E. To his second marriage with Miss
Margaret Hasler, three children have been born—Rebecca J., Elpha M. and John R.
