Lafayette S. Nichols
Birth: 12 Oct 1867 -- Death: 5 Feb 1940
Oaklawn Cemetey, Winter Haven, Polk County, Florida
Funeral Services for L. S. Nichols Held Thursday Afternoon
An attack of cerebral hemorage at midnight Monday claimed the life of L.
S. Nichols, 72, one of Winter Haven's best
known citizens, who passed away at his home, 151 Second street, S. W.. Mr.
Nochols had apparently been enjoying
good health and his sudden demise came as a distinct shock to the entire
community and has caused widespread
sorrow in the city where he had been a prominate citizen for the past 26
years.
Mr. Nichols was the son of Jacob and Mary (Calahan) Nichols and was born
at Eminence, Indiana, on Oct. 12, 1867,
making his age 72 years, 3 months and 23 days. In early age he moved to the
state of Kansas, where he operated a
large stock farm at Norton for a number of years before coming to Florida in
1913 and locating in Winter Haven. For
some years he was manager of a large oil agency in this section and then for
10 years was connected with the county
road department, furnishing large quanitities of materials and many workers
in the building of new highways in and
around Winter Haven district.
After severing his connection with the county department, Mr. Nichols a
few seasons ago developed his automobile
trailer grounds on Second street, between Avenues A and B, Southwest, making
it one of the most modern and
comfortable camps of its kind in the state. In addition, Mr. Nichols had
always been prominently identified with the
citrus business and at the time of his death owned a large grove on the
Lynchburg road, north of the city.
Mr. Nichols was a man of affable personality, hearty and genial in his
approach, lovable in his attitudes toward
young and old, and a prime favorite with the entire community. He was known
by practically everybody in the entire
region as well as throughout Polk county and in recent years also made
hundreds of friends among tourists who came
here or used the facilities of his trailer park. Manyexpressions of the
esteem in which he was held and sorrow over his
passing were heard on every hand in the city.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Cora Nichols, one son, Rhea Nochols, of
Winter Haven, one granddaughter, Iris
Nichols of Washington, D. C., a sister, Milda Grounds of Paragon, Indiana, a
brother, Homer J. Nichols --------?
