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.
