C. C. Nichols, son of Eli Nichols, of New Castle town- ship, died in hospital at Clifton, Tennessee, January 14, 1865. He was forty-two years of age, and held the rank of captain in the 183d regiment of Ohio volunteers. His remains were finally placed in the home cemetery. " He was," says a friend, " the child of ups and downs." He was present at the first sack of Lawrence, Kansas, and gave his aid in making that state a free state.  he afterward spent some time in Colorado, and took an interest in laying out   St. Charles, which afterward became Denver City.  He undertook the opening of an expensive gulch, spent all he had on it, without avail.  In the fall of 1863, he entered the military service, continuing therein till his death.
