They moved with their family from Iowa to Furnas County, where Mr. Nicholson took a homestead south of Hollinger. They resided on their farm for many years. Mr. Nicholson passed away August 25, 1916.

Later they united with the Precept Christian Church under the ministry of Rev. A. C. Corbin. In October 1925, she was stricken with paralysis, since which time she has been an invalid.
