LIEUT. WILLIAM HARDY NICHOLLS
[People’s Press, 25 February 1919]
The death took place at Gravenhurst on Sunday, Geb.16th of Lieut. William Hardy Nichols, aged 24 years. At the time he enlisted, Lieut. Nicholls was teller of the Royal Bank in Fergus, previously occupying a similar position at Niagara Falls. He gave his life for his country, for while in training he contracted pneumonia, followed by pleurisy, which rendered him medically unfit for overseas service and resulted in a short time in his death at the Gravenhurst Sanatorium.
He leaves to mourn besides his young wife, a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Nicholls, Bowmanville, Ont., two younger brothers, Andrew at present with the Imperial forces in Germany, and James at home.
The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Lieut. Nicholls was a grandson of Mr. Andrew Cruickshank of Crowland Township.
