Death of Robert Nicol.

  Robert Nicol, a well-known citizen, died at the residence of his son-
in-law, David Reese, No. 15 Church street, at eleven o'clock this

engineer in Tracy & Gaul's agricultural machine works until March, 
1888, when he returned to this city, and has since resided with his 
son-in-law.  He was a member of Metamora Tribe No. 2, I.O.R.M., a 
staunch Republican and a good citizen.  Six children survive him, 
Robert Nicol, of Rock Falls, Ill.; James Nicol, of Chicago; Mrs.
