July 26, 1851 - February 24, 1945
The Bronson Pilot, February, 1945
The death of Margaret M. Nichols in her 94th. year at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Effie Beaman, Sat. afternoon, Feb. 24th., 1945, took one of the oldest and most beloved residents from Uniontown. She came to this county when four years of age and lived in this vicinity continuously with the exception of 3 years spent on the Pacific coast.
Margaret Ralston was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Ralston, (Mother, Mary Ann "Polly" Guttry Ralston) prominent pioneer family of this county. She was born near Greenfield, Mo., July 26th., 1831. (1851) She was converted in early girlhood and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church. After moving to Uniontown over forty years ago, she joined the Methodist Church of that place and was a faithful member at the time of her passing.
Maggie first married George S. Henton on December 27, 1868. He died May 29, 1871.
She later married (10/18/1872) James M. Nichols who died many years ago in 1902. To this union was born two daughters and two sons. Both daughters are deceased. Orra passed away in 1888, and Mrs. Elzora L'Heureux in 1925. The two sons, Joseph "Everett" Nichols of Bronson, and Silas "Homer" Nichols of McCloud, Calif., survive her, as also do 12 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild; an aged sister, Mrs. Mary Mason of Uniontown; and a half brother and sister, Elmer Ralston of Olympia, Wash., and Mrs. May Drake of Uniontown.
This is a brief outline of the work in a long, useful, well spent life. Her unfalterly faith in the goodness and protective care of her Heavenly Father has been an inspiration to those who know her best. Due to failing health and her advance age she gave up her own home and spent her last years with her daughter, Mrs. Beaman, who was assisted by the untiring care of Mrs. Beaman's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ruth Beaman, in the care of the mother.
She sat waiting and praying for her Lord to take her to her Heavenly Home that house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens.
