JAMES EDWIN NICHOLS

​A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

For More Than Three-Score Years Mr. James Edwin Nichols Has Lived an Industrious Life in the Town of Danby, Honored and Respected by Every One.
​The face of another member of the noted “Boys’ Club” graces the MIRROR’S first page this week, and it is with much pleasure that we present it and this brief sketch of the gentleman whom it represents to each subscriber, many of them to be filed away with previous and succeeding copies of the MIRROR and handed down to future generations.

James Edwin Nichols was born October 20, 1829, in the town of Hubbardton, Vt., where his parents—Thomas and Hannah Wait Nichols—then resided. When six years of age, however, his parents removed to Danby, and settled on the farm now owned by Daniel Harrington. After residing there for seven years Mr. Nichols’ father purchased what was then known as the Deliverance Rogers farm, situated in the central part of the town of Danby, and where the subject of this sketch now lives.

By Netanel Crispe

During a hot, summer day in Danby, Vermont, a surveyor en route from New York took respite in the confines of Mr. Abraham Chase’s tavern, situated one mile south of Danby 4 Corners. His decision to do so would ultimately be one he was soon to regret. Having had his fill of refreshments, he made his way to the exit with the intention of continuing on his mission to survey the town and its neighbors.

It was grim Death who introduced us to the charcoal burners; and, although his presence is seldom welcomed, yet, in this instance, we were indebted to him for one of the pleasant reminiscences of our summer’s vacation.

DEEP IN DANBY WORKERS MINE THE WORLD’S LARGEST UNDERGROUND MARBLE QUARRY

By Bruce Edwards

The back road off route 7 winds up the mountain just south of the village of Danby. A small sign that could easily be missed points the way to the destination.

The road passes by a few isolated homes that at one time may have been “company homes.” A little bit farther a turn-off area is covered with crushed marble indicating to the visitor that he is near the end of his journey.
