Mrs. Anna Donaldson NICHOLS was born in Ohio in 1864 and at an early age removed, with her parents, to Kansas. January 6, 1886, she was married to Mr. Parker NICHOLS, who survives to mourn his great loss. On Monday evening, February 17, 1893, after an illness of a few weeks, she died in the 29th year of her age. Of Mrs. NICHOLS it can be truthfully said that she was a good woman. She was naturally of a retiring and meek disposition and very affectionate and hence she endeared herself to all who had the privilege and honor of her acquaintance. Energy and good taste wer prominent characteristics of her life. She made her home, home-like. Everything about the home gave evidence of the touch of a skillful hand. But her efforts and her skill were not all expended in arranging her eartly home. At an eary age of 13 years she made a choice of jesus as her friend and savior, and united with the church and through Him prepared for herself a mansion into which she has gone to abide forever. She loved the house of God and was quite regular in her attendance upon the services of the sanctuary. She will be sorely missed from the home by the stricken and bereaved husband and motherless child, by the aged parents, brothers and sisters and by the church of which she was a faithful member. But we rej! oice at the same time that the loss of her friends here sustain in her everlasting gain. "I hear a voice you cannot hear Which says I must not stay; I see a hand you cannot see Which beckons me away." The funeral services were held in the United Presbyterian church, on Thursday, March 2, at 1 p.m. and were conducted by the pastor of the church. The congregation of friends and neighbors of the deceased assembled was quite large. The final act was the carrying of the body to the cemetery and carefully laying it away in the silent grave.
