ing of the Nickerson family communicating
the landing of William Nlckerson in Boston
June 20, 1857 which was held at Chatham,
June 10Th. He was accompanied by his
brothers, A. j. Nickerson of Searsport and
E. HI. Nickerson of Portland. AT Boston
they joined the Nickerson family and took
special train to Chatham, where they We're
Nlckersons) and escorted to the town hall.
They We're there entertained with the fol-
lowing program Singing, America;
prayer; singing, Old Hundred; address
William Emery Nickerson of Cambridge,
Mass; singing, Ode, written for the occa-
minute speeches; singing, Sicily. We
quote the following from the Boston Sun
day Globe at is well known that the
Nickersons of the present day have been in
strumental in projecting the building of
some of the greatest railroad systems on this
continent; that Mr. Samuel NJ. Nickerson, a
native of Chatham, has for many years been
at the head of the greatest financial institu-
ton in the West, the First National Bank of
Chicago Nickersons are found in various
parts of the United States, Canada and the
Provinces, leading in different branches of
commerce and the trades" Emery Nicker-
son built the brick store here, where he
traded for many years and although it has
passed to several proprietors since then it
still bears the name. Of the 60 towns repre-
sented at Chatham, Swanville was the ban
ner town, containing the greatest number of
Nickerson families. AS class they are
sturdy, upright farmers following out to the
letter quotation from their ancestor Will
liam Nickerson in his ia k to the aborgines
81 desire to wrong no man nor do | wish by
any to be wronged." The first man from
this town to take a college course was
Fred H. Nickerson and he was quickly fol-
lowed by A. Eugene Nickerson. In all
walks of life they will be found, a thrifty,
conscientious, Woodworking people. When
the bugle called in SO they willingly went
to the front to do OF die, and many noble
youth gave up his life under the southern
skies for the freedom of his country AS a
family they may well be proud of their rec
ords, and may the coming generations carry
out the principles of good citizenship so
characteristic of the predecessors Hon
A. f. Nickerson returned Monday in time
to cast his vote for Burleigh. During his
absence he met Gen. Frank Nickerson, a
native of this town, who is well remember
ed by the older inhabitants, and visited
Mrs Florence Clark, who was at one time
a resident here. Mr.. W. A. Billiard is Wis
iting at his old home. Mr.. Ernest Nicker-
son is at home from school at Worcester for
the summer....A Eugene Niclerson of
Portland spent Sunday at his old home.
We are always glad to see his cheerful face.
