Montezuma, Kansas

March 4, 1933.

. . .

Why I started out to say that sometimes we have sad news was because we at least had sad hours and days here in western Kansas this last week. Mother Andrew P. Nichols at Ulysses passed away so unexpectedly of heart failure. She attended the revival meetings which were held there and on the last day of her life she talked much about the joy she had because the Lord helped the community with the revivals that were held. She too was blessed with peace of soul. I happened to be there that evening and had a nice visit with her and my aunt, who is her step-mother. We talked about the suffering of her husband, and about many other things. That evening as she went to bed she complained about not feeling well, but on the next morning she was getting ready to get up with the others in the family. Again she said that she did not feel well and wondered what to do. Then suddenly a terrible pain struck her and she fell back in her bed and it was only a short time till life fled and she was gone. This was a shock to the home and also to the whole community.

She was buried at Montezuma yesterday afternoon. Many friends came to see her for the last time, some coming from Oklahoma. Before the funeral service closed we received also the report that the baby of widow Mrs. Dan D. Schmidt of Ulysses had died. It shall be buried at Montezuma tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon
