His obituary from The Democrat, Marlin, Falls Co., Texas, Feb. 4, 1904 reads as follows:

"Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock Capt. W. A. J. Nicholson, formerly a citizen of Marlin, passed away at his home in Hillsboro. His relatives in Marlin had been informed of the seriousness of his illness Saturday morning and Mr. E. W. Nicholson and Mrs. W. T. Lenoir left on next train for Hillsboro but could not arrive there until death had claimed its victim.

The remains were brought to Marlin for interment which took place in the city cemetery at 1:30, Sunday Rev. A. J. Weeks conducting the services.

The cause of his death was pneumonia from which he had suffered by a few days. On the Monday previous he went out to his farm about two miles from Hillsboro. When he left home it was warm and pleasant but before returning the cold wave came up and found him without his overcoat. Soon after arriving home he was seized with congestive chill and pneumonia followed resulting in death at the time stated.

Deceased was born in Warren county South Carolina and was in his 68th year. He came to Marlin with his family in December 1869 and resided here continuously until about six years ago when he moved to Dallas, afterwards locating at Hillsboro. He was very active in the municipal affairs of Marlin for many years prior to his departure from this place. He was an energetic member of the city council for several terms and an active member of the old fire department. He was successful in business in Marlin and accumulated considerable property during his residence here.

His first wife died about 14 years ago. His second wife was a Mrs. Frisbie of Groesbeeck and she survives him.

Speaking of Capt. Nicholson after going to that place The Hillsboro Mirror says: "He at once became a leading citizen and about eighteen months ago was elected alderman from the fourth ward. He was a good citizen and a man of considerable popularity. He was firm and conscientious in his political and business relations, but fair and just. He was a veteran of the Confederacy and was in his 68th year."
