This vicinity was greatly shocked last Friday morning by the announcement of the sad and sudden death of Mrs. Marshall Nickerson. Mrs. Nickerson departed this life after a brief illness of only two days. She leaves behind her a husband, three daughters and two sons, and many other relatives to mourn her loss. The Nickerson family have only lived in this vicinity a short time, but during that time they have gained a large circle of friends who will join them in mourning for one so dear to their hearts. A son and sister of Mrs. Nickerson were telegraphed for but could not reach here in time for the funeral. For that reason only a few words and a song were rendered at the grave, the sermon being postponed until their arrival.
