Also, check their records for a death certificate for Frank Nichols. Arthur Nichols is listed on the 1900 census but not on the 1910 census so he probably died after 1900 and before 1910. There was another child who died before 1900 and 2 others after 1900. She lost 4 children in all before 1910. Kathy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
