- Mrs. Anna Belle Dykeman Nichols, wife of ex-sheriff Charles E. Nichols, died at her home in this village Tuesday afternoon, October 13, 1942, from the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage which she suffered about one week ago. Mrs. Nichols had been in failing health for the past two years and since the stroke a week ago her condition had been critical.
The deceased was a daughter of the late Hon. James B. Dykeman and Ruth Ann Mabie and was born in the Dykeman homestead in the town of Patterson on September 11, 1861, one of a family of eight children. She was a descendant of two prominent Putnam county families who had been active in the civic, social and religious life of the county for generations. On her paternal side, the Dykeman's were of Dutch lineage coming to this country from Holland. Her father served this county as member of assembly at one time.
When Mrs. Nichols was a girl the family moved to the farm now owned by John Simpson, east of this village and later to the village where they resided on West street. Mrs. Nichols attended the local schools and Drew Seminary and later taught school in this vicinity for a few years. On October 14, 1885, she was united in marriage with Charles E. Nichols. For 12 years they resided at the county farm during which time Mr. Nichols was the keeper and after leaving there they moved to their farm in Kent just north of this village. When Mr. Nichols was elected sheriff in 1908, they moved to the court house where they remained for nine years after which they moved to their present home on Main street in this village where they had since resided.
Mrs. Nichols was a member of the Mt. Carmel Baptist church uniting with it when a girl and had long been active in its welfare. She was also active In the W. C. T. U. for many years and was a member of the Literary Union of Carmel. During World War 1 Mrs. Nichols did much work for the Red Cross and was cited for making more garments than any other individual in her chapter. As the mother of a family of four children her chief interest was in her home and family and to them she gave the best that a mother can give.
She was ever ready to aid neighbors or friends and her kindness and help assisted in many households during the many years of her active life.
Surviving Mrs. Nichols are her husband; four children, Mrs. Norvin G. Cole, of Hopewell. Junction, Miss Belle Nichols, who lived with her parents, and two sons, Frank Q. and Lewis E. Nichols, both of this village. She also leaves seven grandchildren: Gilmour Cole, of Hartford, Conn.; Lieut. Clarence Nichols and Charles Nichols, both of the U. S. Navy, no serving ;their country; Brice Nichols and William, Lewis and Jackson Nichols, all of Carmel; and two greatgrandchildren, Nancy and Vivian Cole, of Hartford. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Charles B. Travis, of Yonkers; and one brother, Peter B. Dykeman, of Riverton, Wyoming.
Funeral services were held at her late home this Thursday afternoon at 2:30 and were conducted by Rev. H. P. Simpson, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist church, assisted by Dr. Herbert E. Wright of Drew seminary, and were attended by a large circle of friends. Interment was made in the family .plot in the Raymond Hill cemetery. Bearers were her two sons, Frank and Lewis, and four grandsons, Gilmour Cole, William, Lewis and Brice Nichols
