"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 42, No 41, p 5, Oct. 14, 1886.
George Nichols, son of Geo. S. and Electa Coon, was born in the town of Grafton, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., March 28, 1815, and departed this life Sept. 30, 1886. In 1828 he moved with his parents to the town of Petersburg, in the same county, and the same season made a profession of religion under the labors of Eld. John Green, and was baptized by him into the fellowship of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of that town. In 1831 he went with his parents to Alfred, N. Y., where he united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of that place, of which he was a faithful member until he moved to Milton, Wis., in 1840. He was married to Miss Eusebia N., daughter of Asa Burdick, Esq., of Alfred, in June, 1834. When the Milton Church was organized, in 1840, he united with that church and served as its chorister until the formation of the Rock River Church, in 1856, when he became one of its organic members, and was one of its most faithful and earnest workers. He served this church also as chorister for several years, until his voice failed. He was prompt and faithful to all the calls of the church. He was married to Mrs. Melissa Clark Egleston, Aug. 26, 1868. He also became an organic member of the Milton Junction Church, in 1875, of which he had been an honored and faithful member till removed by death to the church above. He leaves a beloved wife, two sons, an only daughter, three brothers, and five sisters, together with very many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. In the absence of the pastor, the funeral services were conducted by Eld. J. C. Rogers; subject, "The resurrection of the dead." The uncommonly large congregation called out on the occasion was an evidence of the esteem in which he was held in the community.
