Lt. Thomas J. NIcholson, one of the oldest residents of this section, died at his home near Tennile last Monday from the effects of cancer of the face, at the age of 73 years. He came to Pike early in the 1850's and at the time of his death was living on a part of the land settled by his father, himself and his brothers, all who preceded him to the Great Beyond. Twice married since the War Between the States, he leaves a widow and several children who claim the heritage of an honarable husband and father.
As a true soldier of the Confederacy, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant in Company "A" (McGuire's), 46th Alabama and his death removes the last commissioned officer of that company. A Royal Arch Mason, Mr. Nicholson had been affiliated with various bodies and when called to the Celestial Lodge, his symbolic membership was with the Franklin Lodge at Tennille, which body he efficiently served as secretary as long as his health permitted. If we mistake not, he had been a member of the Baptist church many years and his remains were interred at Springfield church with Masonic honors. Deceased was a brother-in-law of Mrs. M.A. Nicholson of this city.
Thomas was born in 1833. He passed away in 1906. [1]
