Rev. Hero Merrick Nichols, whose death
was mentioned last week, had been great
sufferer for some years. Mr.. Nichols was
born in Salem, June Is, 1922. His early
life was spent in or near his NATIVE town.
For several years he was in New York as
travelling minister in the Wesleyan Meth
odist conference but in consequence of
failing health he returned to Vermont.
In 1866 he withdrew from the ". M. Con
ference and joined the M. E. church as
| travelling preacher and remained as such
until his death. Thirtytwo years ago he
settled at the place where his last days were
spent, some fifteen years of the time as
travelling salesman. Failing health con-
fined him to his home and he was not
able to attend church the last years of his
| life, but as the outward man persisted the
inner man was renewed day by day and
he was just patiently awaiting the sum-
mons to the home where the Christian re-
ceives his reward. His sick wife and only
child, Mrs. Oren ingalls,, and family and
many friends have much sympathy in
their affection. The funeral was at the
