Biography

Nicholas was born on Oct. 4, 1853 in Bald Creek, Yancey County, North Carolina and died on Aug. 29, 1934 in Maryville, Blount County, Tennessee.^[1]

In Nicholas' obituary, it starts that five years ago this month he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. This is the source I can find to support that they were married in August, 1879.^[1]
