Rev. JOHN HERCULES NICHOLS
Rev. John Hercules Nichols, who died June 16, 1938, was born in Lincoln County, Tennessee January 24, 1845. His father, a native West Indian, was an operator in the “underground railroad,” and his mother was part Choctaw Indian. He was the oldest child of ten. His early childhood was spent in southern Missouri near Rolla, where the family moved by covered wagon from Tennessee. Since the chief occupation was farming, John, when old enough, helped. He was 24 when he converted and entered the Methodist Episcopal conference. Oct. 7, 1876 he joined the African Methodist Episcopal Conference where he remained actively engaged until October 1929, the time of his superannuation. He then came to make his home in Lincoln with his two daughters, MINNIE MOORE and LULA WASHINGTON. During his lifetime, he established churches and schools where there were none in an attempt to further the progress of the race. Surviving him are two sisters, MARY FOSTER of Webster Grove, Missouri and ELIZABETH ESTELL of St. Louis, Missouri, a brother, JESS NICHOLS of Kansas City; two daughters MINNIE MOORE and LULA WASHINGTON of Lincoln; niece BEATRICE GRAY of Omaha; nine grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild.
