Robert Nicholson, during his forty
years residence in this county, held the
respect and esteem of all who knew him.
Though plain and outspoken he was a
man of kind and generous sympathies,

flowing with good humor and pleasant
ry.
During almost his entire residence in
North Fork, he served as a justice of
