Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, August 30, 1899 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - South Richland - Died, at his home, August 24, Lorenzo Nicholson, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with a marked degree of submission. Mr. Nicholson was born in Richfield and was one of a family of eight children, six of whom still survive. When a small boy he came with his parents to this town, where he has since resided. In his youth he married Miss Esther Edick, daughter of the late William Edick. His health has been failing steadily of late, and life seemed a burden to him, although everything was done for his comfort that the hands of his devoted wife and children could do, but they could not hold back the dread messenger of death and as he quietly heard the summons, without a struggle visible to those who were watching, he yielded up his life to Him who gave it. He is survived by a wife and three children, Mrs. Charles Palmer, of Cleveland and Will and Walter Nicholson of this place. Two brothers and four sisters also survive him as follows: Joseph Nicholson, of Washington state, Henry Nicholson, of Scriba, Mrs. Maria Waters, Mrs. M. Hess, Mrs. William Conant, of Mexico, and Mrs. married Joslyn, who resides at his late home. Funeral services at the house, August 26, Rev. D. G. Cluistman officiating. Interment at Willis cemetery.
Newspaper Obituary - Thursday Evening, August 31, 1899 The Oswego Daily Palladium - Oswego, New York - South Richland, August 30 - On the 24th occurred the death of one of our neighbors, Mr. Lorenzo Nicholson, after a long illness. The family consisting of a devoted wife and daughter, Mrs. Charles Palmer, Cleveland, New York, and two sons, William and Walter Nicholson, of this place, have been bereft of a kind and indulgent father, and the neighborhood a good friend, kind and ever obliging. He will be missed, but most by his immediate family because he has been shut in from mingling with those outside of his own home for nearly two years. He had two brothers, one in the far away State of Washington and one in Scriba; four sisters, Mrs. Maria Waters, Mrs. Martin Hess and Mrs. William Conant, all of Mexico, and Mrs. Mary Joslyn, who lives in his late home. That he was respected was manifested by the large crowd of people who gathered to pay their last tribute to their friend and neighbor. The funeral services were held from his late home on the 26th, the Rev. D. G. Christman officiating. The bearers were M. Barnard, L. M. Brown, C. H. Hicks and A. Rockfellow. Burial in Willis cemetery.
