			Dr. Adam Nichol Dies In Texas

      Dr. Adam Gillespie Nichol, 65, prominent orthopedic surgeon in Nashville 
for many years, died unexpectedly this morning in Dallas, Texas, where he was 
visiting in the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Majors.
     Dr. Nichol had left Nashville on Wednesday with Dr. and Mrs. Thomas G. 
Pollard to attend the wedding of Dr. and Mrs. Majors’ daughter.  His death 
occurred this morning as the result of a stroke.
     He was the son of the late Edgar and Sue Adams Nichol.  His uncle, the 
late Dr. William Nichol, was a prominent Nashville physician.
     Born in Davidson County, July 11, 1876, Dr. Nichol received his early 
education in the Nashville public schools and at Bingham Military School in 
North Carolina.  He received his medical degree at the old University of 
Nashville in 1898, following which he studied in New York.
     Dr. Nichol married the former Bertha Cheek, who died in 1935.
     For more than twenty years Dr. Nichol had been president of the board of 
directors of the Davidson County Tuberculosis Hospital, of which institution 
he was one of the principal benefactors.
     He had maintained an office in the Bennie-Dillon Building with Dr. J. E. 
Gallagher.
     He was actively associated with charitable work in Nashville having been 
particularly interested in the Junior League Home for Cripple Children.
     He was a thirty-third degree Mason and was a member of the Clinical 
Orthopedic Society and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
     He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Merrill Moore of Squantum, Mass., and 
four grandchildren.
     Dr. and Mrs. Moore are expected to arrive in Nashville Sunday morning.  
Dr. Nichol’s body will be returned here for funeral services and burial, 
although arrangements have not been completed as yet.
