waosE DEATH OCCURRED AT NORWALK
FEW WEEKS AGO.
Rev George w. Nichols, ID. D., the
well-known clergyman and author,
whose death occurred few weeks ago,
was for many years prominent In the
Episcopal church In this state. His fam
lily became identified with the county at
an early date, and his grandfather,
Ephraim Nichols, who was born in the
town OF Fairfield, did gallant service as q
soldier in the Revolutionary war, taking
part in several battles, ncluding that of
White Plains. By occupation he was q
farmer, and his remains are inferred at
Greenfield Hill. He married Miriam
Bradley, and they had one daughter,
Ellen, who died young, and four sons, OF
which our subjects father, Rev Samuel
Nichols, D. D., was the third in order of
birth. The eldest, Capt Charles Nichols,
was farmer at Greenfield Hill, where
his death occurred. William and Brad
ley 81. were also successful agriculturists
in this county, and the former was for
many years q justice of the peace.
Rev Samuel Nichols, D. D., was born
in the town of Fairfield, and grew to
manhood on the old homestead at Green
field Hill. He completed his education
at Yale College, graduating in 1911, and
for some time he had charge of an acad-
envy at Herkimer, N. Y, where he met
and married Miss Susan Warner, daugh-
ter of G. ]. Warner, and granddaughter
OF George Warner, a native of England.
This family was prominent in Revolution
airy times, some of its members being ac-
tive in the cause of freedom. Soon after
his marriage, Rev Samuel Nichols, D. D.,
removed to Bedford, Westchester Co.,
N. Y, where he remained % yesrs as
rector of st Matthew's (EpiscopaD church

also won many admirers by les high

From an article in The New York
Church Press, March 6, 1886, we excerpt
the following: ss,The aim of the author
has been to afford interest and to do
good. In this he has succeeded re-
markably well. His topics are
varied and diversified, blending per-
sonsl "reminiscences with social
questions, ecclesiastical relations and
the theological discussions. whilst
the style throughout is simple
and ornate, at once captivating and In
structive. The writer enunciates sound
views and imparts useful information,
and his Letters from Waldegrave Cot
tage' will be priced by these who know
MIR Nichols as a gift of friendship, and
by those who read them for their own
merit as the outpouring of a scholarly
mind and generous soul.
