Contributor: Julia Kinsey (48922386) • [email protected]) Big Timber Pioneer, January 30, 1913 Assessor H. J. Nicholson Passed Away Sunday Death Came Unexpectedly and Was Everywhere Received With Genuine Sorrow--Funeral services Held Tuesday-- Many Friends Pay Tribute of Respect. Death came peacefully Sunday a 6 a.m. to Herbert J. Nicholson, assessor of Sweet Grass county, after two weeks of patient suffering with blood poisoning. Medical aid had exerted its best effort; tireless and unceasing nursing by trained experts had done its part; love and affection of relatives and friends had been bestowed-fate had relentlessly decreed the result, and the end came peacefully and tranquility. It was merely the snapping of life's chord; a passing away, free from pain and suffering. The news of the death of one who stood so high in the community, who was known to nearly every person in the county, who enjoyed to the fullest extent the respect and confidence of those with whom he had been associated for so many years, was everywhere received with the profoundest feeling of sorrow and regret. It was strange, a surprise to all, that life's chord should be severed at a time when a future seemed so bright, so full of hope and promise, and expressions of regret were heard on every hand-from those in every walk of life, who had known and esteemed deceased through the many stages of a rapid rise to position and confidence. Immediately following the death word was wired the father, Henry Nicholson, at his home in British Columbia, but all definite arrangements for the funeral were postponed until his arrival Monday evening. It was then decided to have interment at this place, and arrangements for the burial, temporarily made, were completed by friends of the family. When the hour of service arrived Tuesday, long before the time set apart-2:30 p.m.- the little temple of St. Mark's was the mecca of a vast concourse of mourners. Immediately upon the opening of the doors, the church was filled, the overflow extending far outside, where a patient people waited through all elements for the last tribute to be paid. As the hour for the service neared the multitude outside increased, and when the funeral cortege arrived, led by the Knight of Pythias lodge, of which deceased was an honored member, every seat inside was filled, and scores stood, with bared heads, near the door to catch a glimpse of what would end the early career of a dear and trusted friend and neighbor. Bishop Brewer of Helena, an old friend of the family, assisted by Revs. C. Walter MacWilliams, and G. W. G. VanWinkle, conducted the service, and a choir of picked voices rendered the vocal selections. The address of Bishop Brewer was brief, but beautiful; a fitting tribute to a young life, an eulogy of true manhood as depicted by him in whose memory the service was held. At Mountain View the ceremony was short; the last word of consultation was said; the mortal remains of one who had ever been a shining example of true American young manhood were consigned to their last resting place. The pallbearers were selected from among the young friends of deceased--Country treasurer Herman Utermoble, County Clerk F. R. Hickman, Ernest R. Patterson, Dorman Kellogg, Carl Paulson, and Will Churchill. Herbert John Nicholson was a native of Canterbury, England, born May 5, 1884. When he was two years of age his parents came to America, locating at Toston, Montana, and later moving to this place, the father engaging in the furniture business. After graduating in the high school, deceased took a two-year's course at Omaha Business College. Returning home, he and his father engaged in reaching and cattle and sheep raising. In 1911, he and Clyde Curtis purchased the store and hotel at McLeod of J. J. Kusey, the firm being thereafter known as Nicholson & Curtis. Two years ago deceased was chosen assessor Sweet Grass county as the democratic nominee, by a majority of one hundred. Last fall he was the unanimous choice of his party for re-election, and again honored with the position by an increased majority of 226. His mother, who arrived last week from her home in British Columbia, was at his bedside when death came. In addition, he leaves a father, two brothers-Charles and Stuart- and four sisters- Gladys, Alice, and Helen of Vancouver, and Miss Marion Nicholson, a teacher in city schools. another brother, Arthur, was killed by a cave-in of a sandbank on the school grounds at Turgoose, British Columbia, where is he is buried. The floral offerings were extremely beautiful, a tribute of affection and esteem from loving friends and neighbors, including emblems from the Knights of Pythias and courthouse officials.
