OBITUARY..
Charles w, Nichols.

Charles w. Nichols, II. died about s
O'Clock Sunday morning at the home
OF his son, Charles T. Nichols in Mans
field Center, The end followed two
months' illness and was due to a
thrombus in the brain.
Mr.. Nichols was born in Mansfield
January 26. 1910, the son of Thomas
and Laura Coburn Nichols. Farming
was his life work. He left the plow
to enlist in Company D, Twenty first
connecticut volunteers, going south
with the regiment from Norwich. At
the battle of Cold Harbor on June 3,
1854, he lost an arm when a confed-
crate bullet struck him in the wrist
and plowed it's way upward, lodging
finally in the muscles of the upper
arm. This retired Mr.. Nichols rom
active service. His son still has the
bullet which did the work, and it has
always seemed to him that the bit OF
lead was of English make.
Returning to Mansfield, Mr.. Nichols
married Harriet Hutchins, who died
June IA. 1906. One son, with whom he
resided, survives, together with five
grandchildren, a brother. Melvin L.
Nichols of Conantville, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Ellen Lockwood of Pawtuck-
ct, r. /.
Mrs. Nichols was of an unassuming
nature, which kept him from holding
any public office. He was well known
throughout this section and his char
acter was one to command respect
