The progress, growth, development and present prosperity of Clark County is in a great measure unquestionably due to the enter-rise, energy and foresight of her pioneers, and few of this class are more kindly remembered than the old patriarch whose name stands at the head of this sketch. He comes of Irish ancestry, his father, John Nichelson, having emigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1783, settling in Pennsylvania, where he was married to Ann HANEY, a native of that state, to whom were born the following children: Isabel, Mary, Samuel, Andrew, Nancy John, James and William. In 1806, John and family came to Clark County, Ohio and settled in Sec. 23, Harmony Township, where he and wife spent the balance of their days. The subject of this sketch was born in Fayette Co., Penn., April 5, 1803, and grew to manhood in Harmony Township, receiving a very meager education, even for those days, and was there married, in 1825, to Rachel HAMMOND, daughter of Nathan and Hopy HAMMOND, natives of New York, who were early settlers of Clark County. Mrs. NICHELSON was born in Ontario Co, NY., Dec. 1, 1806, and had born to her nine children, viz., Hopy, Ann (the wife of Amaziah JUDY), Roxy J. (deceased wife of John SMITH), Isabel (deceased wife of Charles STEWART), James W. (deceased), Andrew, John, Nathan, Rachel (wife of Oscar STEWART), Margaret (wife of Jeremiah YEAZEL, and Lemuel. Mr. Nichelson was a member of Christian Church of Plattsburg, and died in 1852. He was again married March 6, 1854 in Pleasant Township, to Mrs. Angeline YEAZEL, widow of Isaac YEAZEL, and daughter of Nathan and Abigail (RICE) SPENCER, natives of Otsego Co, NY, who came to Clark County in 1811, where they remained until death. Mrs. Nichelson was born in Harmony Township of this county May 20, 1819, and by her first marriage had six children, and by the second two, Amaziah and George. About 1837, Mrs. Nichelson became a member of the Christian Church of Plattsburg, and ever after strictly adhered to this denomination. He was a Deacon in the church most of this period, and died full of honor July 23, 1880, in his 78th year. His widow still survives him, and is a member of the same church. He began life a poor man; and his success is one of the most noted cases in Clark County of what pluck and industry can accomplish when coupled with steady habits and rigid economy. He was an earnest advocate of temperance, but covered the faults of his neighbor with the Christian mantle of charity. To most public measures he gave his influence and active support, and was a warm upholder of religion and the religious cause. Some of the most Prominent traits of his character were his unerring judgement, his unswerving rectitude for adhering to his promises and his wonderful tenacity of purpose in following up a business venture until ultimate success was reached. Shrewd and careful to the utmost degree, he seldom made mistakes, and in this manner laid the foundation upon which his handsome fortune was afterward built. Early in life he bought and improved 80 acres of land for his father, and in youth exhibited and earnestly cultivated those habits of industry, sobriety, morality, prudence and economy which so strongly marked his character in more mature years. He was charitable to the poor and needy, and his honesty and integrity in all things was never questioned. He accumulated over 2,000 acres of land, all of which he made by hard determined labor and shrewd business sagacity, and his children are now enjoying the fruits of his foresight and industry. His services were in constant demand in settling disputes between his fellowmen; and he was ever anxious to shield his neighbors from the curse of litigation by arranging their differences by primate arbitration. His advice was sought by old and young, and he seldom failed to help those who sought his aid. His mind was clear to the last, and he constantly exhorted all with whom he came in contact to live good, moral lives, and to practice as well as preach the great truths of Christianity. Thus passed away one of nature's noblemen, leaving behind a name and record that are the brightest pages in his history; and his descendants may well feel proud of this upright old pioneer, who living a life of morality, with justice and charity toward all men, died the death of the just, inspired by an unquenchable faith and firm hope in a bright and happy future.
