Grandpa Nichols, George J. Nichols

This is a picture of my Grandfather. I never met him, he died when my Dad was 11, in the early 50's. He was born and raised in Westfield, NY. I was told when I was little that he died of a hole in his stomach; I think it was cancer. I am ordering a death certificate to verify the information. He was the son of Charles Nichols and Helen Trump. He married my Grandmother, Leah I. Lanphere, and had 5 children. Alice Nichols (Maring), Harold Nichols, Myron Nichols, Cleon Nichols, and Raymond Nichols.

They lived on a farm on a hill called Oxbow just outside of Westfield, NY. Then the house burned down, although I never heard from what. I want to research this, I am sure there had to have been some sort of report of this in the local newspaper. I've been told my Grandfather was a golden glove boxer, and also worked on the trolly car lines, if I am remembering this correctly. I hope to have time in the near future to verify some of this information.
