NICHOLS, Harvey - Putnam

Harvey Nichols was reared under the paternal roof and began his active life on his own account on a rented farm, which he continued to operate until near the close of the Civil War, when he offered his services to his country, remaining in the army until the close of the struggle. On his return home he bought a lifetime right in a forty-acre farm and engaged in its cultivation. His earthly career was, however, cut short, his death occurring at the early age of thirty-seven years, in 1871. His widow, in 1879, became the wife of Leonard H. Fortune, of this County.
