Biography

Nickolas was born in 1810 in Diersheim, Baden-Wurtemburg, Germany.

He was trained as a cabinet maker in Germany, working at that trade from the age of 17.

He emigrated to the United States in 1845 aboard the ship "Havre", leaving from Le Havre, France and arriving in New York. With him came his wife Eleanore, aged 28, a daughter, aged 1. 1845 was a year of blight all across Europe. The potato crop failed, not only in Ireland, but across the continent.

He worked as a cabinet maker in New York until 1846, when he moved to Milwaukee until December of that year, when he moved to Sumner, Wisconsin.

He passed away in 1888 in Sumner, Jefferson, Wisconsin.
