Anna M. Harris, daughter of William and Katherine Harris, was born September 27, 1860 in Hopewell, Ill. She passed away in her sleep at her home in Fairmont, Neb., the morning of April 1, 1958, at the age of 97 years and 6 months.
She was united in marriage with Frank E. Nichols June 27, 1878, at Red Oak, Ia. He passed away March 19, 1941.
Mrs. Nichols lived for a while on a farm at Red Oak, Ia., moving later to Kansas, to Greenwood, Neb. and on to California. In 1918 Mr. and Mrs. Nichols came to Fairmont, Neb., and remained here until her passing, first living on a farm and later in town. She was a member of Grace Methodist church, Fairmont, having transferred her membership here from the Greenwood Christian church in 1941.
Mrs. Nichols is survived by one son, Will E. Nichols of Lewis, Iowa; three grandchildren, Everett Nichols of Fairmont, Francis Nichols of Atlantic, Iowa and Faye Scheer of Sioux City, Ia.; and seven great-grandchildren. There are also a half-brother, Walter Harris of California, a half-sister, Nellie Harris of Iowa City, and many nieces and nephews. Two brothers and three sister preceded her in death.
Ninety-seven years cover a long period of life, much longer than many are privileged to have. Although Mrs. Nichols bore her advanced age quite well, yet friends cannot help but believe her time of departure was really a blessing in that it meant the laying aside of a tired body, and her quietly slipping away without undue suffering was a gracious benediction.
From among her keepsakes was found the following quotation: "To work out Life's problem, we need to add love, subtract hate, multiply good, divide between truth and error."
Funeral services were held in the Fairmont Methodist church at 2 p.m. Friday, April 4, Rev. James R. Rogers, Methodist pastor, officiating. Oliver Moul sang "Good Night and Good Morning" and "We'll Never Say Goodbye." Mrs. A.P. Stewart was accompanist. Pallbearers were Francis Schepers, Frank Ritchey, William Jorgensen, Alfred Jorgensen, Wesley Robbins and Glenn Maulsby. Interment was in Fairmont cemetery.
