ANDREW ALLEN NICKELL--is one of that Nickell family of whom frequent mention is made in this ENCYCLOPEDIA as among the first and most prominent of the settlers of Monroe county. The same energy that made them foremost in hewing out a pioneer pathway through the primeval forests of Western Virginia, has in him been developed in another and even more heroic direction. He was born in Monroe, June 2, 1841, son of George Washington and Anna Maria Nickell, and when a little boy fell into a threshing machine. By this accident he lost his right leg and had his left one badly broken. He took up life as it then presented itself with courage, was educated at Erskine College, South Carolina, in due time married, and was blessed with three affectionate children. In August, 1882, he had a fall which broke his left hip, and as a result he cannot walk at all, but uses a rolling chair and crutches, and getting to his official work in this way (he is clerk of the county court), he is still able to continue in business, and in the maintenance of his family. His marriage was consummated in Monroe county, May 15, 1861, and his wife is Flora A., daughter of John and Nancy Chapman (Smith) Bare. Her parents were born in this county, and are now deceased, and she was here born June 6, 1843. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Nickell are: Alpha Cleo, born February 15, 1862; Joseph Orr, October 9, 1865; Omega Gertrude, February 28, 1873. Alpha Cleo married Minor F. Mohler, son of d. F. Mohler, of Shenandoah valley, Virginia, in May, 1877, and they live at St. Albans, Kanawha county, West Virginia, and have two children, Lulu Lake and Arie Avis, the former now four years old, and the latter two. Mr. Nickell's other children are at home. The family of which Mr. Nickell is a member were supporters of the South in the war between the States, two of his brothers were in the Confederate army, and several relatives were killed in the war. The college at which Mr. Nickell was educated was a Presbyterian institution of the Associate Reform branch of that church, and his father, mother, and their ancestors belonged to that church. Andrew A. Nickell's address is Union, Monroe county, West Virginia.
