He had positions as agent and operator at Elmdale, Grand Rapids, Williamston, and held such a position at New Buffalo at the time of his death. having been there 12 years. Mr. Nicol was 49 years of age and about 25 years ago was married to Miss Clara Mead of Harrison who also was an operator for the same company. He is survived by the widow, a son Corp. Lee Nicol, stationed at Guadalcanal, his mother Mrs. Mary Nicol of Lake Odessa who has been spending the winter with him and Mrs. Nicol, a brother Thurlow in the U. S. Navy, who left Bremerton, Wash., on Wednesday of last week for the Alaskan area. The father died about 22 years ago.
