The following is a survey of the Nichols cemetery just off Banks
Dairy Road in Bulloch County. Everything that appears in brackets is my
commentary, showing relationships among the various people, so far as I know
them. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has further information
about any of these people.

Note: there are also markers for Dean N. and Annie Nichols, and their
children, Mary and Kermit, in the cemetery at Upper Lotts Creek Primitive
Baptist Church just a few miles from the Nichols cemetery. I don't know
whether this family was moved to the church and reburied, or whether the
church cemetery markers are memorial stones only. If anyone does know,
please let us all in on it!
