George F. NICHOLS
Col. George F. Nichols was born Jan. 6, 1835. At the breaking out of the
rebellion he resided in Plattsburgh, and was active in the organization of
the 118th Regiment, and was mustered into the service as its major Aug.
21, 1862. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonel July 8, 1863, and was
commissioned as colonel Sept. 11, 1864. His record as commander of this
noble regiment is on of conspicuous gallantry. The 118th had the example
of a brave and courageous commander, one who never shrank from duty,
whether upon long, tedious marches or in front of rebel bullets.
Col. Nichols received many encomiums of praise from the commanding
officers for meritorious services on many a hard-contested field, and
under date of Oct. 11, 1864, Gen. Butler says, "Lieut.-Col. George F.
Nichols, 118th New York Volunteers, deserves honorable mention for the
gallant manner, with a small body of men, with which he captured two
redoubts on the right of Fort Harrison while the main assault was being
mad, and also for his cool conduct on the skirmish line in the general
assault."
For his gallantry on this occasion he was brevetted brigadier-general, and
in a letter from Gov. Reuben E. Fenton, forwarding his commission, he
refers to his "faithful and distinguished services in the late war," and
thanks him "for the gallantry and dev otion which induced this conspicuous
mention by the general government." His commission bears date March 13,
1865.
Col. Nichols was several times wounded, and at the ever-memorable battle
of Drury's Bluff had his sword carried away by a shot, while his clothing
was riddled with bullets.
He was considered one of the best military men in the army, and was paid
the distinguished honor by Maj. Gen. John Gibbon of being chosen a member
of a board of officers, from the 3d Division, to examine and report upon
the qualifications of applicants for the regular service, with a view to
determine each officer's fitness for practical service in the field. Col.
Nichols was first on the list of the board of three officers chosen from
the 3d Division.

Dr. T.B. Nichols
Thomas Brainer Nichols, M.D., Plattsburgh, N.Y., the senior physician of
Clinton County, was born in Enosburgh, Franklin County, Vt., March 21,
1817, son of Levi and Rachel (Smith) Nichols. Dr. Nichols' grandfather,
who also bore the name Levi, was of English ancestry, but was born in
Leominster, Mass., where he followed agricultural pursuits for the
remainder of his active life. Dr. Nichols' father, Levi, the younger,
eldest son of Levi and Elaner Nichols, began his education in the district
schools, and after graduating from Groton Academy, Groton, Mass.,
purchased a farm at Enosburgh, Vt., where he engaged in the cultivation of
wheat.
Dr. Nichols attended the district schools of Enosburgh, and afterward
attended Johnson Academy, at Johnson, Vt., where he was graduated in 1838.
In the fall of that year he entered the University of Vermont, but lack of
financial resources obliged him to relinquish his studies for a while. He
went to Philadelphia in search of employment, and later to New York, where
in the summer of 1840, he issued the first business directory of that
city. He then sold that enterprise, and resumed his studies at the
opening of the fall term, graduating with the class of 1843. After
teaching school two years at Clarenceville, he established an academy in
Bedford, Canada, where he remained two years, and then accepted a position
as bookkeeper at the Meigs forge, saw and grist mill, in Westport, N.Y.
In 1849, he began the study of medicine with Dr. Henry D. Ranney, of
Westport, and in 1850, attended medical lectures at Woodstock and
Castleton, Vt., receiving his diploma at the latter place in November of
that year. Dr. Nichols began the practice of his profession at Crown
Point in partnership with his brother, Benjamin S. Nichols, with whom he
remained one year, at the expiration of which time he purchased his
partner's interest. In 1863, he established himself in Plattsburgh, where
he as since remained in active practice. In 1865, he was one of the
physicians that effected the reorganization of the medical society of the
County of Clinton, of which he has served as vice-president, and as a
delegate to the State Medical Society.
Dr. Nichols is a learned man in his profession, and his large patronage is
an evidence of the confidence reposed in him.
