Submitted by: Shirley Harlan

Died at her home two miles east of Braman, March 1, 1904, of peritonitis, Amelia Nichols, wife of Lloyd L. Nichols and mother of Lundy and Charles Nichols.

Mrs. Nichols was born near Orrville, Stark County, Ohio, Feb 23, 1861. Her parents moved to Atchison County, Kansas, when she was quite young. Her maiden name was Amelia Reinhard.

She leaves a father nearly 75 years old. Her mother died Feb. 1895. She has four brothers and six sisters all of whom are living except one sister.

She was married to L. L. Nichols January 5, 1881. She was buried in Braman Cemetery Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Porter of the Baptist Church conducting the Services.

A large number of sorrowing friends paid their last sad tribute. Mrs. Nichols was enjoying her accustomed good health Sunday a.m., shedding abroad her motherly and wifely sunshine--Tuesday she was a corpse.
