Rome Sentinel February 18, 1901
Charles H. Nicholson of this city received a telegram at 6 o'clock on Sunday 
afternoon announcing that the deathof his brother Mortimer D.Nicholson, had 
just occurred at his home in Brockville, Canada. Mr. Nicholson was the son of 
David and Sarah Nicholson, and was born in Delta fifty-one years ago. his 
father died when he was a little over two years old. When deceased was about 
three years of age the family removed to Rome and here he learned the trad eof 
carriage trimmer with Isaac Knox. When about twenty-four years of age he went 
to Oneida, where he followed his trade for several years. Fifteen years ago the 
Gananoque (Canada) Carriage Company was organized and Mr. Nicholson became the 
superintendent of its carriage trimming department. Eight years ago the 
citizens of Brockville offered special inducements to the company and they 
removed to that city, reorganizing under the name of the Brockville Carriage 
and Sleigh Co., he continuing as its superintendent. Mr. Nicholson was taken 
with an attack fo the grip about a week ago, but did not consider it serious 
and after remaining in the house a couple of days, resumed his duties. A 
relapse resulted and his illness developed into acute pneumonia, which caused 
his death. The deceased was well known in this city and possessed a wide circle 
of friends, won by his many good qualities. In 1870 he married Miss Emily 
Farrier, daughter of the late Richard Farrier, who survives with two children, 
Wiliam F. and Miss Leah F. Nicholson, both of whom resided with their parents 
in Brockville. his brother Charles H. Nicholson, is the sole remaining member 
of the family, and the blow comes with unusual force on him as he himself is 
now recovering from a severe illness.
Mr. Nicholson was a member of the Brockville Lodge of Odd Fellows.
A telegram has been received by Mr. Nicholson saying that the remains, 
accompanied by the family, would arrive in Rome at 9:25 pm Tuesday, over the 
Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg railroad. They will be taken to the former's home, 
No. 107 W. Thomas St., where a private funeral will be held on Wednesday.
