In sad remembrance of uncle John B. Nichols
In sad but loving remembrance of our dear uncle, John B. Nichols, who departed this life February 28, 1931. You suffered hours, yes hours of pain. To wait for cure, but all in vain. Till God alone knew what was best. He called you home with him to rest. God knew that you were suffering And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, "peace be thine." By his loving nieces, Minnie and Ola.
