April 14, 1914

After a period of five years of ill health, Charles H. Nicholson, for over half a century an esteemed resident of this city, died at 9:45 o’clock on Monday evening at his home, 107 W. Thomas Street. Had he lived a few hours longer he would have been 79 years old.

Five years ago, on April 15, Mr. Nicholson was stricken with the ailment which brought on the complication that led to his death. Four years ago next August he gave up all business interests and since then he had been confined to his bed more or less of the time. Since last September he had been totally blind and for three years before that his sight had gradually failed. On Monday evening, April 6, he went to bed for his last sickness.

Charles Hubbard Nicholson was born in Delta on April 14, 1835, and was a son of David and Sarah Peck Nicholson. After obtaining a common school education at Delta he came to Rome to learn the carriage trimming trade with Deacon Peggs. After learning the trade he returned to Delta, where he remained for two years, when he again came to Rome and entered the employ of Isaac Knox, who lived and had a shop where the brass mill now stands. He staid with him until 1859, when he went to Oneida, remaining until 1861, in which year he enlisted in Capt. Mann’s Independent Cavalry and served for the remainder of the war. The company was never attached to any regiment and did dispatch duty mainly, being for a time the body guard of Gen. George Stoneman and also assisting Gen. Rufus Ingalls, who had charge of the commissaries in the vicinity of Washington for some time.

Mr. Nicholson was married three times. His first wife was Miss Jennie Ferguson, daughter of Compton Ferguson of New Woodstock, Madison county, and later of Rome. His second wife was Miss Nettie Williams of Hamilton, NY, whom he married in 1877. His third wife, who survives, was Mrs. Ella Lamphere Fuller of Rome, whom he married in June 1897.
